1. I have yet to meet a liberal who would do that.
On the other hand, I've met any number of freepers who would be capable of destroying their own signs, then yelling about it, to show how bad the libruls are.

Rovian Politics 101.

2. Going on here in NH also. Someone went around and painted LIARS
on the big signs in fluorescent red paint. If I find out who, I will have to sit down and tell them how "naughty" they are, over a beer, my treat. No media attention however.

4. I have no problem with this
It seems to me that they are the ones always out to fuck us over in the serious ways. I find any public display of chimp propaganda offensive. Let the fun begin!

8. I don't know...
In my younger skater-punk days, we drove all around on the eve of the Clinton-Dole election and destroyed any Dole signs we saw. We even got in a chase when we grabbed one right in front of the group that was putting them out. I'm not saying that I'm proud of it now, looking back, but young, passionate liberals can be just as destructive as freepers. We just thought it was funny at the time, never really thought about it in terms of suppressing free speech or giving Democrats a bad name. It was just something to do.

9. It sux no matter which side does it
I can understand the glee because so many peeps are tired of their signs coming up missing....but I hate to see it happening on either side.

Guess I'm more a fan of wit - absolutely LOVED the tale of the Du-ers brother who is dressing up as the Grim Reaper and hanging with the Reps.
Doesnt get much better than that for me. :)

10. sign wars
Isn't this crap a staple of Cook County politics? Or at least it was for the many years I lived in the Chicago area. Next comes the old stand-by, fire a shotgun at your own campaign headquarters, then call the TV news crews. This juvenile stuff goes on every election, and sadly it's a bipartisan activity.
