Bush Brownshirt Battles "BUSHIT"
Driver fights ticket for bumper sticker
By CHANDLER BROWN
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It was 9:30 on a recent Friday night when Denise Grier saw blue lights in her rearview mirror.
She pulled over on Chamblee-Tucker Road, unaware of her infraction.
"The officer asked if I knew I had a lewd decal on my car and I thought, 'Oh gosh, what did my kids put on my car?' "
As it turns out, the decal was an anti-Bush bumper sticker Grier slapped on her 2001 Chrysler Sebring last summer. The bumper sticker — "I'm Tired Of All The BUSHIT".
The officer "said DeKalb had an ordinance about lewd decals and wrote me a ticket" for $100, said Grier, an oncology nurse at Emory University Hospital who lives in Athens.
Grier said she thanked the officer — and vowed to see him in court.
"This is all about free speech," Grier said in a telephone interview Monday. "The officer pulled me over because he didn't agree with my politics. That's what this is about, not whether I support Bush, not because of the war in Iraq, but about my right to free speech."
I don't have an anti-Bush bumper sticker on my car. Now I might have to add one.

I know, I know "Brownshirt" is over the top. I could not think of another "B" word that fit the bill.
There's always the tried-and-true "BUCK FUSH."
I was thinking of getting an FSM decal, but I'll just stick with my Darwin Fish.

Okay, not for nothing, but the woman had a bumper sticker with the word SHIT on it.
