The Stickatude website was down immediately following a report of them selling a racist, anti-Obama bumper sticker with the words "Don't Re-Nig". At the time, the sticker was credited to a site called "Stumpy's Stickers". The Stumpy's site is still down; however, the owner seems to have wanted to capitalize on her racist views.
The registered owner of the site is reportedly Paula Smith. She lives in Hinesville, Georgia. In the Forbes exclusive article by Roger Friedman, Ms. Smith reportedly "thought the website was "dead" and up until recently none of her bumper stickers was selling at all". Really? So, she kept the premium paid for the site hosting and didn't bother checking it, updating it or monitoring her sales? The site has been in existence since 2010 and the copyright date on the site says 2012 so she most certainly has kept it up-to-date.
The more likely story is that Ms. Smith panicked and took the site down. Then someone suggested to her that she would make more money that ever because of the publicity so she set it back to being live again.
She doesn't even have the decency to deny that by "Nig", she meant "N*gger". She sais the N-word is not a bad word. Her response to being asked if it was bad:
"No," she said, " because I don't use it. I have kids here around me that are black kids. I call them my own kids. I've helped black families...to guide them in the right direction. Paintball is one of these things. We like to laugh and have a good time. That's our way of life."
So, it's not bad because she doesn't use it? Does she realize that her explanation itself is racist?! She thinks black families need her "guidance"?!
And the site has a menu selection of Banners, Biker Helmet Stickas', Christian Stickas, Funny Stickas, Political Stickas, and Paintball Bumpter Stickas'. What's with the possessive on the end of some of the words? Also, under the Poltical Stickas are ONLY offensive, anti-Obama stickers. Nothing for or against any other political figure and the stickers are entirely anti-Democrat. Perhaps the heading should read Anti-Obama Stickas or Anti-Democrat Stickas?
There is also a disclaimer on the site under the "political" items that reads:
"We are not PRO republican, We are not PRO democrat.(definitely not pro-Obama) We are Americans! We enjoy free speech and the right to bear arms! We do not care if you are gay or straight. We are natural smartasses who enjoy our job and our freedoms as Americans! May God be with our troops and watch over them and keep them safe."
They felt the need to say they don't care about gays because there's a sticker that says "Let Men Marry Men and Women Marry Women, In Three Generations There Won't Be Any Democrats". But they don't feel the need to make a disclaimer that they don't care about skin color for the "Re-Nig" sticker. That says a lot.
The Stickatude slogan is even racist. Sticka. Nigga. Bigots think it's okay to use the word as long as it ends in an a and not er.
So, the owner of the site is not a Republican? And not racist? She lied about thinking the site was "dead", what make you think she's not lying about her political affiliation?
The picture below is one of the site's anti-Obama sticker slogans.

How many brands and stores have been eliminated due to the market and we are stuck with poor alternatives?
Slavery was great for the free market... the cheapest labor you could find. It took a war to get rid of it; not the market.
I have absolutely no problem with you exposing the source of this hatred, but the comments suggest that this is directed to every single Republican, alive or dead, which is pathetic and untrue.
You are certainly right in your ascertion that the majority of the Republican Party's conservative base are essentially good moral people, who do not deserve to be belittled and/or denigrated by posted responses here on Gather News.
However, I would respond that it is not the Liberals here on Gather News towards whom you should be showing your frustration. It would be my opinion that your chastising and frustration should be directed towards the new wing of the Republican Party, those known as Teapublicans and Evangelicals. It would appear that they make up only about 20 - 25% of the total number of the RNC membership. But, they speak so loud and in such distainful discourse, that they overshout those which are the Party's true base and in doing so, it would appear that they are speaking for the whole party. They constantly write post which can only be described as being hostile extremist ideology of immoral filth and vile dogma towards President Obama personally and the Democrat Party as a whole.
I suggest that if you were to read conservative responses written to articles after 2009, you will better understand why Democrats and Liberals have become so defensive in their posted responses and in some cases, so quick to attack post by conservatives.
The pure vitriolic evil which is being espoused by many Teapublican posters here on G.N. is by it's very nature, driving political debates into a satanic tit for tat banter on all sides of the political spectrum.
True, we are all to blame, but in reality, Teapublicans are the reason for the discourse we are now engaged in.
I tell my son all of the time if he disrespects any woman, he disrepects me. This is no different. I cannot understand how many of these people can call themselves Christians and say such ugly, evil things. This is not of Christ. Remember those WWJD bracelets? Jesus certainly wouldn't do this!
