That pretty much clears it up. What about self-loathers and sign-haters though?

@jacob: I’m not certain, but here is the link to the photo on Flickr. You might be able to dig up some additional info there.

@dave: Ha! Well according to Dictionary.com, a bigot is:

“a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.”

… so, yes. If you are intolerant of assholes, you are still a bigot.

But who cares? Asshole bigots, unite!

So, it’s OK for me to be a bigot as long as I’m the right kind of bigot? :-)

this sign looks photoshopped to me. I dont accuse a lot of things of being photoshopped but if this were real then the red should be more faded and (most importantly) the letters would point outwards and not inwards so from this angle you should see the mirror image. of course I could be wrong but that is what it looks like to me

Hm. I’ve definitely never seen this before. Judging by the background, it might be on capitol hill, or maybe georgetown.

PC thugs are the worst kind of bigot.

Business is catering to its core customer base which out numbers any of the not wanted clientele.

Sound business practice.

They have their country clubs to go to.

does speaking in a third person qualify you as an asshole?

” speaking in the third person.”
