Voldemorte is character in fantasy fiction. Voldemorte did not
saction the destruction of Jewish Europe. To say it is the same is
to say "Holocaust never happened" or "Aushwitz was a spa." That is
cruel.

I must disagree.  The analogy is precise.  It is the fact that 
Voldemort is a fantasy fiction character and yet the bumpersticker 
has an effect that is the point of this thread. Voldemort did and 
does sanction the destruction of Muggle-Blood Wizarding World.  I 
never said that it was the same as saying the Holocaust never 
happened, nor do I personally say that.  The Holocaust was the 
absolute worst, the most evil thing done by humans.  Unfortunately, 
there are far too many competitors for this title, but the Holocaust 
wins hands down.  Please do not put words in my mouth.

or t-shirt.  I like "Dumbledore votes Green" (not particularly funny, 
but...) as well as "Quiditch moms for Democrats."

I do notice that you did not include the "Pettigrew was a hero, too, 
Vote for Kerry" in your last post.  Does this mean that this 
particular sentiment-- in best Umbridge-fashion-- got under your skin?

I think the "Dumbledore votes Green" bumper sticker isn't 
particularly funny because it isn't a cutting remark.  Such is our 
sense of humor.  Besides, everybody knows Dumbledore is a Tory.  :-)

The closest JKR comes to this sort of thing is er campaign by 
Hermione on behalf of the House-Elves, which conjures up image of 
self-congratulatory do-gooders in RL.
