Conservatives Intentionally Making Their Cars Spew Black Smoke To Stick It To Obama, Liberals
Meet the newest form of Conservative protest: Coal runners. It’s also highly disrespectful to everyone around them and the planet they/we live on. Conservatives in pickup trucks intentionally pour out black smoke into the air, for freedom and stuff. They do this to stick it to liberals and Obama. Seriously.
“Coal Rollers” are diesel trucks modified with chimneys and equipment that can force extra fuel into the engine causing dark black smoke to pour out of the chimney stacks. These modifications are not new, but as Slate’s Dave Weigel pointed out on Thursday, “rolling coal” has begun to take on a political dimension with pickup drivers increasingly viewing their smokestacks as a form of protest against environmentalists and Obama administration emissions regulations, according to Business Insider.

Even worse, this form of protest is gaining in popularity.
Business Insider reports:
Last month, Vocativ noted many coal rollers focus their fumes on “nature nuffies,” or people who drive hybrids, and “rice burners,” or Japanese-made cars.
“The feeling around here is that everyone who drives a small car is a liberal,” a roller named Ryan told Vocativ. “I rolled coal on a Prius once just because they were tailing me.”
Weigel spoke to a seller of coal rolling customization equipment who described why some drivers see spewing smoke as a political protest.
“I run into a lot of people that really don’t like Obama at all,” the salesperson said. “If he’s into the environment, if he’s into this or that, we’re not. I hear a lot of that. To get a single stack on my truck—that’s my way of giving them the finger. You want clean air and a tiny carbon footprint? Well, screw you.”
On a Facebook page which is dedicated to this new form of protest, they’ve garnered about 16,000 followers and over 100,000 rolling coal posts have appeared on Instagram and Tumblr.
With this explosion in online attention, the battles between coal rollers and their environmentalist enemies are playing out in social media pages, Youtube videos and internet comment sections. Many of the rolling coal Facebook pages feature memes (like the one pictured on the right) that mock hybrid drivers and liberals. Coal rollers have also posted videos showing their trucks blasting more environmentally efficient cars with smoke.
Opponents of the practice have also taken to the internet. Weigel noted “a mid-June surge of comments” from progressives attacking coal rolling social media pages in the wake of the Vocativ article. In 2012, one outraged YouTube user posted a video entitled “Victim Of Coal Rolling” that showed a pickup shooting fumes at his car.
“Blow your smoke at me you son of a bitch,” the driver says in the video.
Comments on the pickup driver’s side of the argument weighed in.
Because, Confederate coal.
One alleged human replied, “What a loser you are, ain’t nothing wrong with rolling some confederate coal.”
“Stupid ricers. what were you gonna do you bitch?” another supposed human chimed in.
Conservatives are just awful people. Case in point:
“This is hilarious. And it freedom of expression – lefties want to make everyone drive small underpowered vehicles,” one YouTube commenter wrote. “This is a protest to that ideology, and it’s beautiful.”

Deliberately blowing smoke at other cars isn’t speech or protest. It’s harassment and it’s causing unsafe driving conditions.
Regulate it, and fine the sh!t out them. They ruined it for themselves by deciding toroll coal as a bullying tactic.
Then you’ll see the real whining begin: these tough guys won’t be able to deal with getting ticketed and fined.

They all belong in jail. This is harassment. Proof that right wing conservatives would rather trash and pollute their country rather than see it get run the right way by a REAL MAN, like Obama. Just exactly like little brat kids when they can’t get their way, they’ll destroy what it is they said they ‘loved’ in the first place. A good beating would do them a hell of a lot of good!

They don’t represent the GOP. Liberaland is using the power of media to brain wash Liberals, looks like its working. I like the new “Tesla” electric vehicles, they are awesome.
Jill Suzanne Faucher-Ross July 7th, 2014 at 07:54
Well ‘conservative republican land ‘ is using the power of Fox Noise to teach us all to hate one another, so I think the libs have way, way more of a grip on reality than those fascist theocratic monsters.

They don’t represent the GOP? Have you read the GOP platform from last few elections, often calling for eliminating the EPA entirely?? McCalleyboy if you don’t agree with all their boneheaded tactics, maybe you don’t BELONG with them, because they surely are doing a bang-up job of using the “power of media” (including AM radio) to convince ALL of America that they are ornery, contrary, willing to ruin the country and their own health to express their disdain for the “liberals,” and also NOT smart. Be sure you have enough GOP bumperstickers on your Tesla so your “Conservative” brethren don’t come after you.

Modern technology is awesome and will be a huge money maker, I don’t see any downside to an electric car that runs better and has less moving parts than the fire breathing dragon pictured above. The GOP doesn’t seem to support green energies because most of those government funded business were run by white collar crooks, Tesla knows what he’s doing, he’s able to bring quality and price down.

Take the moron that owns the truck and super glue his lips to the exhaust pipe. Start the engine and put a brick on the throttle close the door and watch the fun.

These are the cretins who would never vote for that black dude in the White House but couldn’t tell you who their congressional Rep. is. But they’ll vote for the “R” every time.

yes, I get your point….I do think the best way to deal with these selfish idiots is handing out fines

I’d suggest following the coal roller long enough to see if he parks it somewhere, then shove a potato up his tailpipe.

I think most states have laws governing emissions from motor vehicles….now seems like a good time to start enforcing them. Losing a few hundred or thousand dollars or a stay at Hotel Incarceration would make these people think again.
Sean July 7th, 2014 at 12:57
yes but unfortunately, the local butt scratching constabulary sides with these knuckle draggers because they hate our soshlist mooslem presedent

Doesnt this just illustrate the stupidity of the far right?

Someone please tell them we don’t need any more examples of their stupidity. WE GET IT. YOU’RE AN ASSWIPE.

Agree, these people are extreme idiots and don’t speak for the GOP.
Christian July 7th, 2014 at 19:10
But you have to admit mcalleyboy, this fringe of the GOP is ALARMINGLY huge. I mean massive.
mcalleyboy July 7th, 2014 at 20:30
In the media only… the real crooks are big business, these people could be Conservatives and Liberals, they will go to extremes in order to protect their outdated technology’s, gas, coal, propane.
Christian July 7th, 2014 at 20:56
…Mc, that’s cognitive dissonance If I’ve ever seen it.
This is what I hate about modern conservatism; some of you people are finally waking up to the fact that big business is to blame and the environment actually matters, and yet you STILL won’t admit that it’s the GOP that caused that mess. Your party is all for tax cuts for the wealthy, less regulation, etc. That’s why business is so big and corrupt.
You’re just a very confused liberal in GOP clothing. It’s like when you people finally realize the truth you just pretend you knew it all along; that’s not the way it works. Everything you’ve posted on this thread has been really liberal, dude. You do NOT sound like a conservative at all. Entertaining environmentally safe energy? Criticizing big business and claiming it’s the big problem? Welcome to the blue side, buddy.

I’m into guns and self protection, I don’t like the police and have no idea why there is a police force, I also don’t like living in the city and do care so much for gays.especially tom boys.
