Woman arrested for protesting 'racist' Obama bumper sticker
Staff Reporter | Posted July 25, 2008 2:25 PM
A Houston area woman has been arrested and charged with making a "terroristic threat" after she confronted a couple with what she considered a "racist" bumper sticker on the back of their pickup truck.
Chynethia Gragg, 35, noticed a bumper sticker with a character urinating on the name "Obama" and told the couple in the vehicle that their bumper sticker was racist.
The incident took place Tuesday afternoon in the Sugar Land area of Houston, Texas, when Gragg confronted Doug and Wendy McKain. (Yes, there names are really McKain.) Gragg allegedly pulled up to the McKain's home, blocked the driveway behind their truck, and began to complain about the bumper sticker, according to court documents reported in the Houston Chronicle.
Gragg also allegedly told the couple she would "get someone to take care of him later," the report said. Gragg was cited for trespassing and arrested for making the threat, a misdemeanor. She was released Wednesday on $500 bond.
"The worst thing about the bumper sticker is that it is witless -- but I'm afraid that describes this campaign on both sides," wrote Houston Chronicle columnist Rick Casey.
The bumper sticker image shown in this article comes from another web site, but The Daily Voice could not confirm that it is the same bumper sticker that provoked the confrontation.

LL First and foremost your comment was stupid then again you might be one of the intruders who come and TRY to spew venom here on this site
Freddie,I think there is one thing you folks that are voting for McCain need to understand. You said :one doesn't need to be racist to vote against a person who will tax businesses that create jobs and increase government spending on welfare programs: That's how the GOP have you fooled. They are not taxing everyone just the ones who are considered WEALTHY You know the ones who are friends to the Republicans whereas the Rethuglicans refuses to do because if they do then PRINCESS DRUG ADDICT CINDY would have to pay more and we can't have that. And by the way McCain voted on a tax increase with the BUSH CREW plain and simple he is full of SHIT
And if any of you don't think that some WHITES are not voting for him based on race then click this link below
