Vanity: Defacing of George Allen Signs in No. VA
11/5/06 | Self

Posted on 11/04/2006 12:52:16 PM PST by BRUMama

I was driving around with BRUPapa today on a date, and as we were driving in several towns in the local area we noticed a number of George Allen signs that had been defaced by attaching stickers to them.

They each had one word affixed under his name, such as HATES, or LIES, 4 WAR, = BUSH.

Someone had to have an organized campaign to print up stickers for the express purpose of defacing these signs.

BRUPapa and I agree that this will only serve to engergize republicans, and it shows democrats for the bad sports and hurtful people they are.

How ironic that the very thing they are accusing Allen of, hate, is what they themselves have shown.

Obviously there has been a big campaign to take him down so that he won't run for President.

(Sorry, I didn't have my camera with me or I would post pics. I will have it tomorrow, and if I see any more, I will post them.)

What are your thoughts, Freepers???

Putting stickers on GOP campaign signs started in Arizona during the 2004 campaign. Since most DemocRATS don't work for a living, they have a lot of free time on their hands to pull off these childish antics.

In fact, such defacement only increases support for that candidate among swing voters.

I was going to post a local story of a 75 Yr old man driving around listening to NPR who went nuts and pulled over and starting ripping down Jim Gerlach signs here in SE PA.

I figured it might be interesting too, but I don't like to post stuff if I'm not sure of the policy of the local news outlet.
Here is the link, the guy got arrested: http://www.pottsmerc.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=17421096&BRD=1674&PAG=461&dept_id=18041&rfi=6

Flashback to 2004. Disgruntled hippies too stoooopid to realize that such vandalism energizes and motivates the opposition. Take the vandalism as a subconscious admission of pending defeat.

Yes, this was in Centreville, on the entrance ramp to 66 at the Route 29 exit, and in Manassas on the off ramp to 66 at 234.

Just give everybody heads up. I live in Northern, VA. There was Webb signs in expressway medians for past 3 weeks. Hardly any Allen signs. Now Allen signs are 3 times webb signs.

Webb signs in expressway medians

In many states posting of signs on public property is illegal. I don't know about VA. Rules aren't meant for 'rats anyway.

I would agree with that... we have hardly seen any Webb signs. Republicans are VERY well organized here in Prince William County. We have been getting calls almost every day for one candidate or another.

Only one opposition call BRUPapa got was a poll call about the marriage ammendment, asking him if he would STILL support the ammendment if he knew it affected unmarried couples living together as well as gays. (Which is a lie BTW) He said a resounding YES!

Just another example of how liberals think...Free speech is only for Democrats. Everyone else should be muzzled.

There is a 3'x5' George Allen sign on a fence that was defaced facing rt.7 heading towards Leesburg. It had also been ripped up, but the owner must've put it back together Right next to it: a brand new 3'x5' George Allen sign! Stupid libs know they can't win if it's a fair fight.

I had a Jeb Bush - 2008 bumper sticker, and it only lasted 4 days.

Well first, they might want to check on the whereabouts of that wacko-blogger Stark whats-his-name and see what he's been up to. He can't get close to Allen, so maybe he's taking it out on Allen's signs.

I don't get worked up about stuff like this. There are idiots on both sides.

And in the long run, I don't think it hurts us.
