Exactly what we have been sick of watching in DC all of this time since his inauguration.

I read the OP. I tried to care and just could not bring myself to care. It is his right to post the signs. As long as he is within zoning regulations then why not.

Would be no different than wearing a T Shirt that said the same thing. I kind of like to know where the nutcases are.

I think he is doing the community a favor by letting them know where the crazy person lives.

Outside of the community, who really cares. This is not a national story and not what I would call news.

It still is.

""He wouldn't do that to [President] Bush, I'm sure. It's just insulting. It's insulting," said C.C. Campbell-Rock.

But other people did do this to president Bush. It was disrespectful then, and it is disrespectful now. This speaks to exactly the kind of partisan hypocrisy on display by so many today. "It's okay when it's done to your guy, but not okay when it's done to my guy." No, it's not okay when it's done to either guy.

Yes, it is free speech, and this person has the right to post it. However, defending it by simply claiming the other side did it first just sends the message that one side is no better than the other, and isn't even going to make an attempt to be. It's kind of hard to convince others of the merits of your side of the political coin when you make an argument like that.

It is funny because if Republicans had their way the very land that sign is on would be a festering swamp, because none of them were useful in dealing with hurricane Katrina.

I am not talking about the response. That was bad on all fronts I am talking about way after that. Thus why I said if Republicans had their way it would still be a festering swamp. Here is a 2005 article to refresh your memory of that debate.

What makes me laugh is during Bush's last year in office we went to The Ohio State University to tailgate they had a poster at Lane and High St. George was dressed like a Nazi,there was early voting and Springsteen was blaring.The next year after Obama's Hope & Change election win Barrack was next to Nazi George as the Joker....same group pushing for "The Anointed One" election....no pleasing the liberal left.
