#1 Kinda of welcome you'd expect a black family would get in a white neighborhood circa 1950 suburban whatever. Bigotry however is ok if you're liberal, cause even though the actions repeat thousand of incidents of appalling behavior, you're a recipient of special dispensation. Cause you're liberal.

#2 Oh - and I bet they've figured out what to do with all those hybrid batteries which contain toxic waste. I'm sure they'll come up with 'credits' which will absolve themselves of the impact upon the environment.

#3 How many trees were killed, hillsides quarried and mountains leveled to make and power their oh so environmentally conscious $500,000 3000sf homes and 3 cars in the garage? Enough each to supply an entire third world village. Hypocrites, each and every last one.

#4 And don't forget carbon foot print is not all about gas milage. That Prios has a larger total carbon foot print over the life of the car than the Hummer.

#5 These are the "open minded" individuals are the first to scream when an evil Christian tries to inflict their morals on them. Farkin hypocrites is right. If their little POS prius shows its eco hind end in TN I reserve the right to trash it.

#6 A man who can afford a Hummer can afford several Molotov coctails thrown through neighbors windows at around 4 AM. But I guess a bunch of leftists don't have the logic gene necessary to make that assumption.
Just thinkin' out loud.

#7 My next car is going to be something with a turbocharger -- just to show 'em.

#8 A guy who can afford a Hummer is probably living in a neighborhood with luxury homes. So, I guess it would also hold true that if his neighbor's home was larger than necessary for her to live in, (ie: using more fuel to heat/cool the excess sq. footage) it would be ok for him to paint, "For the Enviro" in large red letters across the front of it.

#9 Jeebus, these hypocrites are freakin' morons! How much of a "carbon footprint" did they just leave, now that the guys has gotta go buy NEW 38" tires (rubber = petroleum), get a NEW paint job (paint = "air emissions") and new windows (= sand and heat)?

Same farkin' moonbats who don't get the whole "big picture" idea of releasing a LOT more toxins into the air by burning down a Hummer dealership and all the trucks than those same trucks would release by themselves in their entire lifetimes. Earth Liberation Front my arse!

#10 That entire neighborhood is a monument to consumer excess & happy motoring. All private vehicles are extremely vulnerable to this kind of vandalism.

#11 And these neighbors probably see themselves as fine upstanding citizens.
yes, deciding what's best for all. So much for freedom of choice in this Washington neighborhood.
What a bunch of thugs, considering the amount and type of damage they did.
In retaliation if it were me, wishfully thinking, I'd probably get several of the dirtiest, most beat up ugly old vehicles I could find and park them on the street for a time, starting them up occasionally with their exhaust sputtering. But that's just me, they wouldn't want me as a neighbor...

#12 Lefty Seattle, Jan. You beat me to it; i would do the same and probably start my own extreme teardown project cars in the driveway. maybe a washing machine restoration DIY workshop on the front lawn as well.

#13 Actually, lefty D.C., USN, but I repeat (our)myself.
