Colorado has it's own Phil Parlock, Larry Liston, stolen yard signs

[uncle ray]

with all the talk of yard sign being stolen, colorado has itself a repug who got in on the action. Liston excuses his previous actions as a joke. i guess he doesn't find it funny anymore?

Liston woke up on Monday, Sept. 20 and got really, really mad. At 8 a.m. the Colorado Springs financial planner and Republican candidate running for the House of Representatives scribbled off a note on his "Committee to Elect Larry Liston" letterhead:

"I have awoken to find out that malcontents, low lifes and thugs from the Democratic Party have taken ALL of our signs down for President Bush and Pete Coors on our ENTIRE street. They conveniently have left up the democrat signs. This action is highly repugnant and very offensive.

Perhaps Mr. Liston doth protest just a little too much. Let us now turn your attention to the series of photos, at right, taken of Mr. Liston onstage at a GOP fundraiser at the Colorado Springs Country Club on Saturday, March 3, 2001. At the time, Liston was the vice chairman of the statewide Republican Party.

The first shot shows Liston displaying a very effective technique designed to rip out opponents' political yard signs using a long stick with a hook on the end. The handy device proves quite efficient during "midnight commando raids" in which one self-styled soldier drives slowly down a street while a passenger hooks up yard signs along the way.

on edit: added yard signs to topic
