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.

Of course they did it themselves.

"It was written on both sides."

Wouldn't it have been more accurate to paint "Whitey" on one side? It would've at least been funnier...

discovered someone had spray-painted the word "n-----" on the Obama sign in front of their house.
===============================
Since when is the word never a racial slur?

Alan was driving, and he didn't immediately get a good look at the sign. But Sharon did. "I could pretty much make it out at the time," she said. "It was written on both sides." Alan was a bit skeptical at first. He told his wife he didn't believe someone would actually write the "N word" on their sign.

Ok, so they're pulling out of their driveway... She could "pretty much" make it out ON BOTH SIDES, while her husband was skeptical? This makes NO sense.

If something like this happened and upset me so, at the very least, we'd have gotten out of the car so I could show my husband what I saw. Furthermore, if I saw something and my husband said, "No, that couldn't have been there" I'd be ticked off at him. This smacks of the two of them trying to portray themselves as balanced and rational.

Sorry. We’ve heard this cry of “wolf” too many times for me to accept this story without proof.

I think at this point if a republican decides to vandalize a sign it would be with a firearm instead of a spraycan.

Since it’s Obama and they’re a mixed race couple, couldn’t they feign equal offense if they had spray painted “White Trash” on the sign?

I bet an Obama backer did that to play up sympathies. Either that or kids prank.
