Wingnutosphere cries about "discrimination" against SUV's

Hey, what's that sound I hear?

It's getting closer!

Why, it's the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHmbulance again!

The Far Right is known for alarmism, and now they're pushing a new whining point: They claim that restrictions against gas-guzzling SUV's are some sort of civil rights violation.

A shopping center in Austin, Texas, posted a sign reserving some parking spaces for fuel-efficient cars (as opposed to fuel wasters like large SUV's). Now the wingnutosphere is going bonkers, claiming that this is discrimination that's as bad as the racial segregation of the Jim Crow era.

Do they seriously expect people to believe that? Why, yes. Yes, they do.

They also link the shopping center's restrictions with alleged vandalism against SUV's by environmentalists. Seen any SUV's vandalized lately? I haven't. Which just goes to show that the nationwide "pandemic" of SUV sabotage that the freeposphere is always complaining about is largely a hoax.

I remember a story from mid-decade in which a town in California actually reserved parking spaces for SUV's. This came to light when an official from a nearby city was ticketed for daring to park a small car in an SUV-only space. Where was the wingnutosphere to complain about this outrageous policy, which was designed to punish those who didn't kowtow to Big Oil's goals?

If the wingnuts are so concerned about discrimination, why do they support right-wing foreign dictators who blockade and wreak havoc on entire regions to discriminate against whole groups of people?

Why don't the wingnuts care about the discrimination that runs rampant in America's schools? America actually has a separate and unequal school system that in effect unfairly segregates students based on various factors, including economic level, race, and disability.

It's hard for the wingnutosphere to have any credibility when it complains about discrimination, considering its support of discrimination against others. The fact that they're likening SUV restrictions to segregation is almost sadly laughable.
