It must really suck to be stupid.
Steve Gill, host of a popular conservative Nashville radio show, said that someone had BURNED his "Bush/Cheney '04" yard sign in his front yard a couple of weeks ago. He was absolutely livid and flatly stated that he would not let TERROR TACTICS like those incorporated by the KKK and the Islamofascists stop him for proucly displaying his support for our president.
Personally, if I caught someone trying to start a fire just feet from my house while my family slept, they would meet Mr. Ruger.
His private comments when he found out he'd been caught must have been extremely expleted deleted.:)
Perhaps somewhere a Republican has stolen or vandalized a Democrat candidate's sign, but that certainly seems to be the exception.
Sounds-like-fun Ping!
Reminds me of a local (Ohio) county commissioner who was caught on videotape stealing his opponent's signs. When confronted by a reporter, he said, "It wasn't me. But if it was me, I was forced to do it."
Wait, you mean there's a union official involved in strong-arm thuggery? Let me get my surprised face on.

This is a very, very, very common RAT tactic. In the Twin Cities, this goes on in every election and it is uniformly practiced against Republicans. One day the sign is up, the next morning it's gone. I have seen 'R' candidate signs in dumpsters myself.
I'd like to catch some RAT taking my signs...
Ya'll got nuthin' on the the Fire Chief of Grand Coteau, LA.
1.How can something be "stolen" from public property [tree lawns, etc]
2. How can something be "stolen" that was not purchased and has no value?
Another case of WEINERS!!! [If I had called the police to report a stolen campaign sign they would have laughed in my face. I guess we should take into account the state and the party huh?]
That's funny! You didn't mention his political party, probably because it was unnecessary.:)
"1.How can something be "stolen" from public property [tree lawns, etc]"
Years ago, my car was stolen from the PUBLIC street. At least, I don't believe it drove itself away.
"2. How can something be "stolen" that was not purchased and has no value?"
My father gave me that car, I didn't pay anything for it. It was a rebuilt junker that nobody would have paid anything for.
Your response was disingenuous hyperbole.
I didn't think to check out the union web site. Thanks for the pic. I recognize that clown.
In nearby Chattanooga, politico's, by law, must take down their signs within a week or so after the election. A local talk show host, Jeff Styles, decided after about 3 weeks after an election that there were still a lot of signs up and in particular, a lot of a particular local politician's that had gotten re-elected. So, Jeff asked his listeners to collect the signs, bring them to the radio station and he would personally deliver them to city hall, which he did. A few days later the police came and arrested him, ON THE AIR, for littering! Charges were later dropped, but Jeff had a field day exposing the hypocrasy of the hole thing. What a bunch of maroons....
I always thought with technology today, it would be a snap to catch the a$$***es in the act. Inexpensive miniature video cameras and VCRs with "low light" capability are available all over the place. As well as motion sensors and flash units if necessary.
