Business owners Dee and Gene Liboff of Woodland Hills, California, just wanted to show their support for Mitt Romney in the coming election by putting up a handmade sign in front of their home.
But what they were shown in return is the ugly side of some Obama supporters.
Ever since putting up the sign, the Liboffs, who are members of the San Fernando Valley Patriots, have been engaged in a running war with vandals who have cut, pulled down, torn apart and ripped the sign out of the ground.
Every time it happens, the Liboffs get out the tape and glue and put the sign back up. While doing so, they have been yelled at and cursed.
A passing biker who saw Dee fixing the sign screamed, “You are dead.”
But things took an even darker turn when the sign was vandalized again and the Liboffs found what appeared to be a Molotov cocktail left beside the ruins of the sign, possibly as a warning.
The makeshift bomb, consisting of a jar full of some sort of liquid and a rag stuffed in the jar mouth, prompted the bomb squad and fire department to begin a serious investigation into the targeting of the Liboffs’ sign. Police and fire officials have assured the Liboffs that they have their full support.
All the vandalism and threats have taken a toll on the Liboffs. “It hit me pretty hard this last time physically and emotionally,” Dee said. “This is not the country I believed in and couldn’t wait until I was old enough to vote. We must save our freedom. Socialism and communism are a deep cancer eating up the dreams of our children’s future.”
Dee notes that there are also good people in the neighborhood who have expressed support and sympathy for their troubles as well. So the sign remains.
“I worked on that beat up. battle-scarred banner and it is up again with a warning poster in English and Spanish saying, ‘Smile, you are on camera and this area is being investigated,’” Dee said.

Philly area? Pittsburgh or Harrisburg?
It took Hailey Barry three decades later and only after having sex on screen with a white boy (Billy Bob Thornton) to finally get an Academy Award for a black woman—though HB is no more “black” than BO...still the one drop rules.
Abington, Montgomery County. Surrounded by dingbats.
A young woman tore up a friend of mine’s Romney sign at his home near LA. He put the pieces together except for one missing corner, with an added sign telling everyone about a tolerant lib who did that.
Is it just me, or do you only see the Zero stickers on VW Beetles and Volvos?
Put axle grease on yard sign!
Priuses and 2 beetles, by my count!
I got an Obama sticker stuck it on an empty folding chair and left it in my yard.
I had a Bush/Cheney 2004 sticker on my Jeep Grand Cherokee’s rear window. I caught a lib punk whipping-out a Buck knife and ready to carve-up my door paint, in a shopping mall lot; I drew my 1911 .45cal and he crapped/wet himself, dropped the knife. I called 911 on my cell and the local LEOs arrested him. (Made him sit on a plastic tarp for the ride downtown.) He was on probation and the knife was a violation; his PD pleaded attempted assault and malicious destruction of property down to a probation violation. He got 30 days in county jail. If he hadn’t dropped the knife, I’d have shot him. Haven’t had an incident since it made the papers in 2004.
I live in the San Fernando Valley and the response these people are getting is exactly what I would expect. The liberals become unhinged by any position more conservative their own or even the mildest criticism of Obama or the Democrats. I would never put a Republican or Romney/Ryan bumper sticker on my car. It would be vadalised immediately and repeatedly. Same thing with a yard sign. I have made the mistake in the past of countering outright lies by Obama supporters. One time it came close to getting me punched out and another cost me some friends. Theywent to the personal attacks. My wife works for a very liberal organization and absolutely has to keep her opinions to herself. She is convinced that their would be retaliation.
I don’t stick political signs in my yard, but I like it when the people in my neighborhood do. It lets me know who has a brain and who doesn’t and who I can trust when the chips are down.
Yep, used to live in Chatsworth. My neighborhood was cool (helped to live on a cul-de-sac) but the rest of the Valley what whackos. The librarian at the local library what a freakin’ lesbo nut job she was!
I feel your pain.
P.S. I had to get rid of libtard friends but I was much happier.
It is so heavily Democratic that most districts in the Valley do not even have a Republican candidate for most offices. The only real fights are over which liberal faction of the Democractic Party gets which district goes to which politician term limited out or which new politician they want to put on the gravy train of guaranteed employment for life on the tax payers dime and which Democratic Party special interest will be rewarded.
We may soon have to communicate with them on the same level.
Release the Dobermans!
the nazi face of progressivism
No freaking kidding! Truth stranger than fiction.
‘Liboff you Demorat jerkweed!’
‘Liboff - just one application, keeps liberals away all day!’
Their union is associated with SEIU what do you expect they are going to do
