Wingnuts stealing/destroying Obama yard signs

by Brian on October 19, 2008 · Comments

My wife just called me to mention that along a two mile stretch of Harlem Road in Franklin and Delaware counties, every Obama/Biden sign has been ripped down or destroyed – including some giant billboard-style yard signs. Every single one. This is a stretch of road we travel every day to get to our little horse farm, so we are quite familiar with who has Obama signs, and who has McCain signs.

The McCain signs are untouched. The Obama signs are all gone.

Interestingly, downticket Democratic signs were left unmolested.

    I've had my Obama yard signs stolen also. So I just go contribute another $5.00 to the Obama Campain and put up another. Obama is badly needed to have any hope for our country! How bad do things have to get for some people to wake up!
  • I heard that, in an effort to save money, the McCain campaign was recalling all of their Ohio yard signs and sending them to Florida.
  • Has anyone checked ebay?
  • Sign stealing/tampering is un-American.

    Hi Guys, just a note to tell you I feel your pain. Last night all of our signs were stolen as well. It really should be about freedom of speech. Sorry to tell you, our signs were all Mccain signs stolen. the one Obama was still there.
  • Since none of the Republicans are putting their party affiliation on signs or literature, it's hard to tell which signs belong to Dems and which don't.

    Also, I'm guessing that none of the down-ticket Dems in Delaware are uppity black candidates.
  • This was never going to be easy...

    It's happening in little towns in north central Ohio as well. We just replace them as quickly as we can. Fortunately, Barack Obama raised $150 million last month so we can afford it!
  • Yup. Someone has gotten these people very fired up and *very* frustrated. Hopefully they can limit their activities working out this frustration to simple property damage.
