Obama Yard Signs Burned in St. Peters MO | Crooks and Liars

I know ppl were stealing Kerry signs 4 years ago, in a few places, but I don't remember anyone actually burning them to the ground in ppl's yards!

Is there no limit to the depths of immoral disparity of the McCain/Palin mob?

So does this mean you didn't hear about the bear that was found shot in the head, and wrapped in an Obama/Biden sign?

Oh, sweet Jesus, tell me, if someone tries to light my Obama signs on fire in my yard, am I in the clear to pump them full of lead?

Seriously, what is the point of stealing, or burning for that matter, a yard sign?

I'm lost as to their mentality...

Photon1001 · 10-22-2008, 01:50 AM

no, I support Obama, so I'm clearly a member of that Marxist Al-Qaeda movement.

This kind of goes into this racist thread I guess.

Now it's racist to call any of Obama's policy's socialist.

Shame on McCain and Palin for using an old code word for black

By Lewis Diuguid, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist

The "socialist" label that Sen. John McCain and his GOP presidential running mate Sarah Palin are trying to attach to Sen. Barack Obama actually has long and very ugly historical roots.

J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI from 1924 to 1972, used the term liberally to describe African Americans who spent their lives fighting for equality.

Those freedom fighters included the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who led the Civil Rights Movement; W.E.B. Du Bois, who in 1909 helped found the NAACP which is still the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization; Paul Robeson, a famous singer, actor and political activist who in the 1930s became involved in national and international movements for better labor relations, peace and racial justice; and A. Philip Randolph, who founded and was the longtime head of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and a leading advocate for civil rights for African Americans.

McCain and Palin have simply reached back in history to use an old code word for black. It set whites apart from those deemed unAmerican and those who could not be trusted during the communism scare.

Shame on McCain and Palin.

Since John McCain hasn't come out against the burning of yard signs, I have to assume he is actively involved. John McCain supports setting private property on fire! He is a terrorists. REarrklelelelele

How do you know the people that are doing it support McCain/Palin?

Stylerod · 10-22-2008, 11:16 AM

The McCain signs on the street by our house were stolen.

cliche' and not true.

Good point, how do we know they don't support Ron Paul/??(Depends on what state you live in's VP slot)??

IIRC, there were more reports of Bush signs being stolen then Kerry one's in '04, that didn't work too well, as a strategy for them, did it? On the other hand, I never heard of anyone burning yard signs to the ground while they're still in the ppl's yards.

Phantom · 10-22-2008, 01:49 PM

Burning signs down would have seemed like an excellent idea to me in my high school days. I would not have discriminated as to candidates or political parties

How do we know they even vote, follow the news or are eligible to vote? It's just that your assumtion that it's a politcal statement is unwarranted.

How do we know they are even people? It could be aliens or animals who have secretly learned how to use a lighter!

I was thinking more that it was a message from God, maybe a lightning strike ?

Damn gods and aliens always interfering in our politics...
