FULL TITLE: Conservatives Are Purposely Making Their Cars Spew Black Smoke To Protest Obama And Environmentalists
Pickup trucks customized to spew black smoke into the air are quickly becoming the newest weapon in the culture wars.
"Coal Rollers" are diesel trucks modified with chimneys and equipment that can force extra fuel into the engine causing dark black smoke to pour out of the chimney stacks. These modifications are not new, but as Slate's Dave Weigel pointed out on Thursday, "rolling coal" has begun to take on a political dimension with pickup drivers increasingly viewing their smokestacks as a form of protest against environmentalists and Obama administration emissions regulations.
Last month, Vocativ noted many coal rollers focus their fumes on "nature nuffies," or people who drive hybrids, and "rice burners," or Japanese-made cars.
"The feeling around here is that everyone who drives a small car is a liberal," a roller named Ryan told Vocativ. "I rolled coal on a Prius once just because they were tailing me."
Weigel spoke to a seller of coal rolling customization equipment who described why some drivers see spewing smoke as a political protest.
"I run into a lot of people that really don’t like Obama at all," the salesperson said. "If he’s into the environment, if he’s into this or that, we’re not. I hear a lot of that. To get a single stack on my truck—that’s my way of giving them the finger. You want clean air and a tiny carbon footprint? Well, screw you."

Whaaat? But this is funny:
“I rolled coal on a Prius once just because they were tailing me.”
More of the trend where conservatives just do what MSNBC tells them.
This is great! How do I make my Tahoe do it?
I may seek out a coal oven pizza in protest of Odumbo...
Seriously? Was the writer wearing his tinfoil hat when he penned this piece of crap? Paranoid much? Or just more attempt to push as much nonsense out there to provide cover for the serious problems facing our nation that Obama is either ignoring or causing.
I’m very conservative and can’t stand those coal rollers. At $4 a gallon, who be stupid enough to pour fuel into the exhaust to make pretty black smoke.
Those evil Conservatives....attack, attack, blame, blame....
“You call it ‘carbon,’ but my people call it ‘plant-food’.”
It’s amazing- MSNBC is more influential now in what conservatives believe than Ronald Reagan. Pathetic.
‘Rolling coal’ has to be a fairly new term. In the 80’s in the south, if a lady was dating a black man, she was said to be ‘hauling coal’.
It’s amazing- MSNBC is more influential now in what conservatives believe than Ronald Reagan. Pathetic.
Not racist?
What pile of utter bs is this?
Only the white smoke can be racist.
Right, cause diesel prices are so low, we can afford to
dump it in the exhaust.
What planet do these people come from?
“If he’s into the environment, if he’s into this or that, we’re not. I hear a lot of that. To get a single stack on my truck—that’s my way of giving them the finger. You want clean air and a tiny carbon footprint? Well, screw you.”
And crap like that is exactly why people view conservatives as wanting to turn the country into a sewer like China. And it’s a CORRECT view. I would happily force that SOB to breathe nothing but what comes out of his trucks smokestack. He wants filthy air for himself and his kids? I would be happy to oblige him.
Me, too! What we need is an electronic candle - like in the nicotine vaporizers - to combust pine incense on our tailpipes. Or figure out a way for the heat of our exhaust to
vapor and smoke-up a fixture full of something installed just outside?
I’m gonna have to work on this.
Looks like the Hemi might have to go in favor of purposely “spewing” black smoke. It’ll go real nice with my rifle that “sprays” bullets. Actually, I think I’m on the verge of “spewing” myself after reading this crap. Chimneys? Wood or coal.
Planet Red England...the area east of the Hudson River is literally crawling with them...it's getting tough for conservatives to book a moving van around here.
