Hamilton’s billboard was hillarious. It sits right next to I-5 and I looked forward to it whenever I went down there. He slammed liberals without mercy … and he was incredibly funny and witty about it.

I loved seeing that sign. Sad.

"He loved a fight. He loved to argue or discuss."

Sounds like he would have made a good Freeper.

What kinds of things did his billboard say?

[anniegetyourgun]

A sad day. Hope the family keeps it up. Or....perhaps Freepers of WA should take it over?

[oldleft]

I hope they keep it up. Some of the things were down right insane rants, but I remember when I was I kid driving by and getting excited to see what it said.

On another note, if anybody knows where all the different quotes over the years can be found I'd love to know.

If they start up a fund to keep it going I'm sending them $50!

The man lived a nice long, honorable life. His family and friends should be proud.

I've been reading this billboard for years. It used to be updated more often when it was on the other side of the highway. I figured Hamilton had already passed it on to someone else but I guess he was just slowing down. Not only the messages but the worried-looking Uncle Sam on the sign attracted attention. One of my favorite messages from the mid-1980's:

The Good..........CIA
The Bad............KGB
The Ugly...........IRS

[Yardstick]

Wow -- a lot of folks are familiar with his sign. Sounds like it's a real Washington State landmark.

Mr. Hamilton was a true trailblazer -- manually posting his comments since 1971.

a sad day...

But he was a draft dodger during WWII.

Was he just a closet Liberal trying to atone for the past?

[Hildy]

How come nobody's ever posted pictures of this here?

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.

[HairOfTheDog]

My brother Ramius has the honor of having been threatened by Hamilton once ;~D

[ppaul]

Maybe his family will let the Washington state FReepers take over keeping up the sign in honor of his life and patriotism?

BUMP to the WA STATE ping list!

I'll miss his comments, always looked forward to seeing what he had to say, especially his moderate stance on the UN.
