Peace love and diversity in action again! Check out the readers comments.

So was he a union thug, a hostile gay hater of GW or just the average lunatic lib filled with hate?

I have a feeling one of these midnight creepers is going to get shot sneaking around like this.

A Kerry supporter from Monmouth was issued a summons for receiving stolen property after Thomaston police found 14 stolen Bush-Cheney signs on the back of his van.

When can we expect John Kerry to condemn this vile assault on the First Amendment?!

Oh...right. Never.

[SheLion]

Why is he so worried about it? My great state of Maine is mostly RATS anyway. So why is he so worried about it!

Joel’s a real loon.

In fact, he wrote his Honor’s thesis at Connecticut College on “The Ecology of Loons in Winter.”

I kid you not.

They should make these idiots pay each person for the sum total of all the signs they stole (they aren't free, ours was $25 I think?). Better yet, make them donate the money to the RNC. :)

I guess I need to add another category to cover real loons, like Watermelon Jihadists Who Hate GW.

Thanks for the feedback.

BTTT

[Mannaggia l'America]

The police officer should have made him personally go back and put each sign back where he found it!

[Melinda]

You gotta love FR. The truth at the speed of light.

Chief Kevin Haj said there have been no charges in connection with that incident.

Huh? Why not? Sounds to me like a green light for Bush-Cheney supporters to go around taking Kerry-Edwards signs.

[Madame Dufarge]

Here in Bangor, I've noticed a lot of Bush/Cheney signs on roadsides that have obviously been crushed. Strangely, the Kerry signs right near them are always in pristine condition.

Just as an aside, I live around the corner from Stephen King. He has this 5' x 5' Kerry/Edwards sign in front of his house. What a moron.

[FoxInSocks]

Hokkanen was sporting a Kerry pin on his hat and a sticker on the back of his van

That should constitute probable cause for arrest by itself. :-p

[Ciexyz]

The stupid jerk. Now he won't get his bonus of a buck a sign down at the union hall.

[lilylangtree]

Political signs are expensive. The Bush/Cheney Campaign needs to DEMAND an apology and reimbursement from the "Flush the Johns" Campaign.

-"So was he a union thug, a hostile gay hater of GW or just the average lunatic lib filled with hate?

No. He belongs to the national "GOONS FOR KERRY" group. You know, the ones who are taking all the "W" lawn signs, breaking into, trashing, and storming all the Republican offices throughout the country.

[Grampa Dave]

Maybe he is a member of the National Looney Goons for Kerry?

So now I know who has been stealing our signs, this guy lives not to far from my house. He must have to pass my house to get to lewiston from his house. I have lost atleast 8 signs in the past 2 weeks.
