In his words: "It’s also fun to be able to drive up next to “Obama”-sticker-clad Priuses and yell “you earth-destroying gas-guzzler!”, and watch them wither with guilt."
I wanna try this.

Dood... c'mon. Not everyone who drives a prius is an obama supporter.
Moreover, you're missing the point with your fallacious assumption that those who oppose gas-guzzling vehicles (fuel efficiency for a Prius is 48/45 City/Hwy vs. an '08 suburban 2wd, for instance, which gets 14/20 at best, by the way) also necessarily believe that cars in general are "bad" and shouldn't be used. Yours is an unfair and -- more importantly -- likely in most situations untrue characterization.
Instead, I would bet that most individuals who choose fuel-efficient cars simply recognize the benefit of owning such a vehicle (vs. a true gas-guzzler) in an environment whose infrastructure is largely assembled around ownership of some sort of personal vehicle, if you will.
I wonder why you're so angry... or bitter?? Did a (surely liberal) Prius driver run over your dog or something? Relax, man.

Let me help you out here; this post is called a "joke" that works on the reality of bicycles getting better mileage than Priuses, and the irony of the Prius thus being a "gas guzzler" in comparison.
Nowhere in this "joke" was it claimed that all Priuses were driven by Obama supporters. To act as if it were said perhaps demonstrates "insecurity" or perhaps even "anger and bitterness" on your part.
(you want anger and bitterness? Your mirror is waiting)
And face it. You're destroying the earth with your gas guzzler, bub! :^)
I'm thinking it went over his head again, BB. ;^)
