They have seen other political signs throughout Rockwell, they said, but believe theirs is the only Obama campaign sign.

The one and only 0bama sign in Rockwell, NC gets vandalized.

The Oseteks say they don't understand why it wouldn't be classified as a hate crime.

The Obama camp, and that includes supporters like these, are not beyond this type of behavior. The Obamanation has been playing the race card from the beginning, even more so lately.

Phony complaint.

Gosh, I wonder if they have been hoodwinked by the “fake hate-crime” crowd.

Was it spelled correctly? Because if not, that could be a clue for the chief investigator of the political sign defacing squad for Rockwell.

Well that was timely! And they’re leaving the sign out, as well. Hmmm......

Check obama’s hands. See if he has paint on his fingers.

Perhaps it wasn’t a slur. Perhaps ‘My’ was left off by the tagger who meant to demonstrate solidarity.

Probably did it themselves or an Obama operative did it. They think they have more to gain over occurances like this!

Polygraph these two to make sure they didn’t do it themselves. Too many ‘hate crimes’ are done by the supposed victim(s). BS meter going off.

I guess the “n” word wasn’t neocon in this case.

hard to believe that people get this upset over the “dreaded” n-word.

The media never bothered to bat an eyelash when hundreds of swastikas were painted on the signs and homes of Bush-Cheney supporters in 2004.

Everywhere such incidents were treated as “isolated” local events with no discussion of the national trend for such attacks and intimidation.

If this happened to these people, I denounce it. There has been a history of people crying wolf when they call something a hate crime.

Yeah - seems like a ‘manufactured’ event. When the media starts exposing what Sarah has gone through from Obama cell group/camp - then this may have value. Right now what comes to mind is BO’s comment ‘a pig with lipstick is still a pig’ and his followers laughing and clapping.

Makes sense the black woman would leave the sign up since she likely defaced it herself. Some well-meaning neighbor probably took it down and put it on the porch while the sign-owner was at the campaign rally.

Unless the vandal was some true (and random) racist/bratty teen, I call BS and say the black woman painted the slur herself. “Republicans” simply do not do this sort of thing —never.

I think I’ll paint “cracker” on one of my two McCain yard signs and then start yelping about it.

Here's a picture of the "victims":

Alan and Sharon Osetek had someone spray the "N" word on an Obama sign in their front yard in Rockwell on Saturday night. They were offended by the racial slur. photo by Wayne Hinshaw, Salisbury Post
