I did a Google search for 'RNG' and found this wonderful Bouncy from 2005:

Had an aggressive Freeper confront me today while driving in my car.
Here I was at a stoplight in my station wagon with my pachababy in her car seat and a man next to my car smiles real nice and asks me to roll down my window. I oblige, thinking he has a quick question for me (directions etc) and when I roll it down he says "Hey, from all your bumper stickers on your car, you must be a Marin County Socialist who is unpatriotic and is trying to destroy our country and jeopardize our troops!"
He said this with a glaring smile on his face as he basically dared a response. I was stunned. My car, a BMW station wagon with the bumper stickers saying "Mainstreet Moms Oppose Bush -theMMOB" and "Out of Iraq" along with an American Flag and I'm labeled a Socialist, who is unpatriotic and jeopardizing our troops? WTF?
I responded politely by saying that actually, I grew up in a Republican family, am not a socialist but rather a patriotic American who loves my country, believes in the Constitution and upholding it and that I want to protect our troops and that I'm actually a registered Independent, not a registered Socialist. He insteaded responded to me by cursing me and telling me that if our country went to hell it would be me and all the damn liberals in this country who don't believe in Jesus and God.
I told him that he needed help and that if he harrassed me anymore I'd call the liberal police. He then drove away....
I was shaking....I have never had a confrontation like that before. I'd never think of driving up to a big Ford Extinction with big "W" stickers on it (hey, I even occassionally see Melanie Morgan, a neighbor here locally who drives her SUV with her big patriotic flag stickers and God Bless W all over it) and shout out anything to them, even if I feel sick when I see them and especially Melanie Morgan.
Anyone else had any weird aggressive confrontations like this lately? What's even more shocking is this happening here in Marin of all places, a very liberal part of California. Is this a sign of what that "Uniter Mr. Bush" is doing to this country?
Very sad indeed...but I'm not going to let this stop me from expressing my opinion publicly or removing my stickers on my car. But it is frightening to me that someone like that would be aggressive and angry like that to a mom with her baby and label me and call me names. What's next? People getting violent on their fellow neighbors and citizens?
One time, a year or two ago, I was driving to Borders and after I turned right onto the road that leads to Borders, someone in a red car pulled up next to me signaling to roll down my window and I thought, maybe I have a flat tire or something so I obliged and he shouted something unintelligible and I checked my rear view mirror to make sure the back of my car wasn't on fire or something to help me decode his yell and my eyes alighted upon my very tattered W 04 oval that I only keep on my car to incite moonbats and as he sped off leering manically, I decoded what he had shouted seconds before as, "Bush sucks!"
I kind of shrugged and thought, "well that's why I keep that tattered old sticker on my car." and pulled into Borders and forgot all about it until now.
I don't think I am hard of hearing or anything but sometimes people say something to me and if there is some white noise, like the rush of wind through an open car window, it seems like it takes my mind a few seconds to decode what they say. I am always amazed when that happens as in the first few seconds I am sure I haven't heard what they said and then somehow my mind puts it together. Amazing thing, the mind.
