Of course, if you did this to a liberal, you'd have hate crime charges filed against you in about seven minutes. I hope he gets on the phone with his lawyer, gets a court order for a copy of the server logs and any financial information to uncover the name of the person who did this, and goes after them. Seriously, anyone who does this in a residential neighborhood should be tossed in jail and have everything they own sued away from them. Don't care which side is doing it, you're involving people who's only connection is that they happen to live in the same neighborhood.

Your reading comprehension skills must be a little rusty. There's no need to "uncover" the name of the person who did this, since he publicly identifies himself (and I'm sure he did so to O'Reilly when they spoke in his driveway). The ambush interview is a tactic O'Reilly himself has used--of course, he sends his producer to do the ambushing rather than risk his own hide--and I am not aware of any of O'Reilly's targets filing hate crime charges against him.

You may think this is not appropriate for a residential neighborhood, and I agree with that, but it isn't illegal. The left goes nuts when pro-life demonstrators parade around the neighborhoods of abortion doctors, but I don't think anyone has ever been successfully sued for doing that.

dr, the sign on the lawn was over the line and he could be charged in civil court for liable.

An ambush interview is a heckuva lot different than going to a guys house and posting “pervert” signs that his young kids will see.

I agree that Bill is a public figure, and asking him questions in his driveway, while tacky, isn’t out of bounds.

Sticking signs all over his neighborhood, especially the one that insinuates he is a child molester (can’t be trusted with your daughters) is wrong, and possibly, but probably not, actionable, since most of the signs seem to be technically accurate.

However, if any of the signs were IN a neighbor’s yard, I guess that neighbor could sue for trespass. And if the neighborhood has sign limits, he could be arrested for littering.
