The article also stated that bear season is under way in North Carolina.

My guess is that they will find (or already have found) the teenagers who did this and that it wasn't even politically motivated... But that story will never be published.

Too bad. A bear deserves better than to be polluted in death with a communists propaganda.

Possibly an object lesson in what happens when you steal that one pick’a’nik basket too many.

I agree, this sounds more like Jack Daniels than ideology...

If any mammal tries putting 0bama signs on my yard, they will find themselves in the same shape.

Putin is obviously “testing” Obama already. The bear is symbolic of Russia. Yogi has always been a socialist metaphor, preferring to feed off the bourgeoisie, while tweaking the old feudal authoritarian order, represented by Ranger Smith. BooBoo, of course, is the useful western media, reluctant at first, but always pliant when tempted with the utopian communist order represented by the “picnic basket”.

Spent three great years in Cullowhere many seasons ago. My bet is local country-boy day students at the university. Shame that anyone would kill a bear cub.

Reg, you graced that fine campus, didn’t you?

I did. The only thing about your theory of country-boy day students is, no self-respecting hunter is going to shoot a cub, let alone make such a putrid, wasteful display out of its remains.

That's why I think this was done by a novice, and it was done to embarass hunters and pro-second amendment people.

“Police in NC: Dead bear under Obama signs a prank”

“Seven Western Carolina University students were involved, and possible charges were being discussed with the local prosecutor, said Campus Police Chief Tom Johnson. Police did not release the students’ names.

The students told authorities they took political signs at random to cover the bear’s wound and prevent blood from spilling into the bed of the truck they were driving.”
