You are entirely correct, ichabod1.
That is reason# 385,293 of why NOT to put political bumperstickers on a vehicle.

Agreed. The tow truck driver was undoubtedly “racist” as well, naturally.

Baloney. He’s entitled to run his business as he sees fit. Political Correctness is haywire thinking.

I agree. And I don't think it's an obligation like a doctor.

But would you want to be stuck in the snow and have a tow truck driver pass you by because of your political beliefs? As conservatives, we complained about this for years? Now we are supposed to adopt the left wing belief we formerly criticized.

Why not? Individualism used to be the norm in America. People did what they saw fit according to their own beliefs. Political correctness has so negated the individual that it is expected to do what someone else wants because that’s the way the left has brainwashed us.
The guy can tow whom he pleases.

Not sure why this is even in the news.

Didn’t she have a cell phone to call someone else?

“If somebody needs help, you help them. Regardless of whom they support politically.”

Nope.

Only if it’s life or death. Tow trucks are a dime a dozen and the Bern supporter can call another one. That driver owes no allegiance to her. She was not in peril.

I got a chuckle out of that, but it’s really not a good business practice.

Wow! Well, I’ve quite often felt a strong urge to ram my car in to the back of cars with Obama and/or Sanders bumper stickers, but so far I have been able to resist that temptation!

Hmm...Asheville is notoriously liberal. A tow truck driver who didn’t pick up a lib would probably be out of work within a month.

Beautiful town but far from the time of Thomas Wolfe...

Reminds me of the MANY stories here about business owners who had to severely downsize in the 2008 recession.

They walked their parking lots & laid off the people with Obama bumper stickers!!!

Payback is a bitch——and I like that kind of payback.

I see from the thread we still have too many “proper” people who will go home election night and watch us lose but be comforted singing their hit song “alone in my principles” and by knowing they “didn’t sink to the other side’s level”.

Gimme a break.

She wants a communist, which means she wants camps and slaughter and the abolition of religion and even more abortion, and many more horrible things.

What he did was too kind. Would have been more funny if he towed her out to nowhere.

One wonders if the Bernie Sanders motorist would have reported what a WONDERFUL experience she had engaging with a tow truck driver with Donald Trump stickers on his rig?

So if ya gotta get in their faces and punch back hard, WHY are you kneeling to political correctness and NOT putting a sticker on your card? Sounds to me like you’re scared! I have a Trump sticker on the back bumper and a “NOT A LIBERAL” sticker on the FRONT bumper of my car. Believe me, people get the message.

Real classy move on the part of the driver, this.

It’ll REALLy convince people Trump and Trump supporters aren’t a bunch and angry whackos.

“Not sure why this is even in the news.”

Because it was a Republican acting like an asshole.

This asshole truck driver will now be used as an example of a typical Republican.

Yeah, i’ve heard that before. that is why waterboarding is “torture” but our own special forces submit to it in training. That is why the RoE Rules of Engagement are so ridiculous and are getting our troops killed.

Depends on the state.

Part of their license requires them to remove stranded cars on demand, for the safety of the general public.
