I love how they had to put that into the story. I'd love to know if that was the exact quote the daughter gave.

One of the truly brilliant Conservatives. Loved those signs on the drive from Eugene to Seattle as a kid. Even as a Liberal I appreciated his wit. It had 2 sides and a different saying each way. God Bless His Family.

Thanks for the post. It's been 4 yrs. since I last saw the billboard. I always enjoyed seeing what it was going to say when I'd drive by...about once a year when I lived in WA state.

I heard on the radio today that his family was continuing the billborad. Great news! I rarely see it anymore -- it's so hard to get out of Seattle on Friday evenings, thanks to traffic, I don't visit family in Oregon anywhere near as much as I used to.

I lived within about 10 miles of the Uncle Sam sign during the late 70's up through the mid-80's. I've driven past it 100's of times. I don't recall any comments aimed at homosexuals, but I wouldn't be surprised if he put some up. I always looked forward to whatever he had to say...it was usually good for a chuckle.

RIP - that sign was probably the high-point of the Seattle-Portland run. Lordy, could that get to be a dreadful drive when the rain came down...

Yeah, RINO Slade Gorton sued him ... and lost!
To: HighlyOpinionated
I figured someone would come along soon enough and slam him for that.

Yep, I've amost crashed many times while driving South and reading the Northbound message and vv. :)

During one of his court battles, the sign read:
"THERE ARE NO BILLBOARDS IN RUSSIA, CUBA, OR COMMUNIST CHINA."
As always, in capital letters.

Sad?
Only if the torch is not picked up.
