Bush-Hating Loser "Loses it", almost kills woman and her kids...

Check this story out from Tampa FL - via the Drudge Report - about a whack-job who was so incensed by a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker that he succumbs to a fit of road rage.

Nathan Winkler, 31, was arrested overnight and charged with aggravated stalking for allegedly terrorizing a mother and her two children. According to police, Winkler pulled up alongside Michelle Fernandez as she was headed south on Armenia and began beeping his horn and flailing his arms, pointing at her. Fernandez, meanwhile, could not see Winkler's face because of a handmade sign in his window that read, "Never forget Bush's illegal oil war murdered thousands in Iraq."
The mother called 911.

Winkler apparently grew more agitated as they continued to drive along, allegedly trying to run Fernandez's car off the road several times over the next few miles. The 34-year-old grew increasingly concerned for herself and her two children in the car and called 911. Action News obtained recordings of those calls, in which the fear in her voice is evident.

"Look, he's trying to run me off the road," she is heard telling the 911 dispatcher. "Look at him. You [censored] idiot! Whatever, you moron! Get away from me." "I was blowing my horn at someone because I'm running stop signs and everything to get away from him," she added later.

Winkler persisted, pulling in front of her car so that she had to stop.
As he tried to run up to her car, she drove away and was headed to police district headquarters when she finally managed to lose Winkler. Cops caught up with Winkler at his home not long afterwards, where he reportedly blamed Fernandez for starting the altercation by making an obscene gesture. Back at home Wednesday morning, Winkler declined to answer the door. From inside, a female voice told Action News that the incident was simply a "misunderstanding" with another driver.
Misunderstanding? I suppose he only forced her off the road and ran over to her car to tell her he just saved a bunch of money switching his car insurance to GEICO.
