Everywhere Are Signs
By Mitch Berg
I’ll cop to it. I’ve felt like assaulting people with those idiot “Coexist” bumper stickers on their cars…
…with the weapon of satire and mockery. Nothing more.
Unfortunately, Muslim thugs in neighborhood near Paris took a more aggressive line, pummeling a street artist who’d painted the platitude on one of their walls.
Four Muslims in Porte Dorée (the Golden door), a ghetto east of Paris, beat artist Combo after he refused to take down his Coexist street art. Combo suffered a dislocated shoulder, bruises and a black eye.
To be fair, I’ve been tempted to do the same thing to graffiti artists. But again, only using the one-two punch of ridicule and derision.
Still, coexistence is possible:
We just have to be clear about our boundaries.

Somehow it would be appropriate of Dear Leader put one of the first type on “The Beast.” Would give a clear indication that whatever color the sky is on his planet, it is not light blue.

I’m a little unclear on whether the Muslims who beat him up owned the way that he vandalized with graffiti. If they didn’t, then they should have notified the owners or the police. But if it was their wall that was being defaced, I’m not all that upset that he got a beating.

It’s fascist. The idea is that you have no interests based on anything that trump the interests of the Collective.

Mitch….somewhere out there is a coexist sign but with a swasitika and hammer & sickle.

You know, I’m with the Muslims on this one.

I always liked the Volvo’s with a “Darwin fish” under the Coexist sticker. Clueless to the end.

It turns out the Boston Marathon moslem carjacked a guy with a coexist bumper sticker
