That *really* sucks.

One comment, however, offered in the spirit of gentle debate.

Stuff like
"I hate to say it, but that's just typical of the current republican/christian/right wing mindset--silence dissention by any means necessary"

really doesn't sound that much different to me from

"The gothic culture leads young, susceptible minds into an imagined world of evil,darkness, and violence." (ganked from the internet)

the difference being there is demonstrable evidence of the former.

and...well...there is a big difference between thinking or saying something and vandalizing private property. The right-winger in question is free to hate guys, liberals, squirrels, The Muppet Show, and anything else he/she chooses. However, those freedoms do not extend of vandalizing private property just because you don't agree with what someone else has chosen to say (in this case in bumper sticker form).

IOW:

You have the freedom to think anything you want but you do NOT have the right to not be offended if someone disagrees with you and you certainly don't have the right to silence their freedom of speech. Too many people these days don't get that freedom of speech necessarily means having to deal with people who have something irritating to say.
