Pointing out liberal hypocrisy is a full time job and ultimately futile since these people lack the self-awareness to understand your point.

More than likely this was the work of stupid young men. Stupid young people and union thugs do this kind of thing, not responsible adults.
I've met quite a few stupid, young, conservative republicans. Any one of them are capible of this mindless mischief.

Is that why we have a full stable of right-wingers posting here 24/7 whining about lazy slugs looking for handouts? Does it include health benefits and a pension?

Before you get too upset, understand that most of them are born without the ability to be "candid." So they play these games until you finally nail them down, if you have the patience.

This is the part when they accuse you of being the real racist for pointing out the racist message left on the signs. "I mean, why must you introduce talk of race when someone writes "n*gger" all over the place? And, by the way, "redneck" is just as offensive!!!"

Seriously, are the posters on the Sean Hannity forum any sharper than this? If so, I think a trade might be in order.

The subject of this thread, defacement of political signs, and the responses from both sides, left and right, make it clear that democracy is a farce. Congratulations Americans.

There has been reports of numerous Obama campaign signs in Texes being shot at, ripped apart, and the N word written on them.

The GOP/tea party thuggery and intimidation is coming back to Jim Crow era actions. Who knows what kind of widespread violence will happen from these animals if Obama is re-elected

"Democrats in Lubbock, Texas said they are investigating what they call widespread vandalism against their efforts to support President Barack Obama.

“Hundreds of Obama yard signs have been stolen from neighborhoods all across Lubbock,†Lubbock Democratic Party chairperson Kenny Ketner said at a press conference Sunday. “We have had over half a dozen of our large 4×4 and 4×8 signs stolen, vandalized, or shot. And as of about 1 a.m. this morning, we can add hate crime to the list, as two of our 4×4 signs at 26th and University Ave. were vandalized with the n-word written multiple times and mustard sprayed all over the signs.â€


KBLK-TV posted a picture of the bullet-ridden sign, which says, “Lubbock supports Obama 2012.â€

I'm not suggesting it's typical behavior from a Republican, no... are you suggesting Dems go around doing this stuff? I have only said it is MORE likely the act of a conservative, given the obvious facts that it was an attack on Obama signs & took place in a right-dominant area. You're the one who seems sure of who did it, and going with the UNlikely suspect in your accusation. So unless you have proof of who did it, please refrain from speculating so wildly.

And?? There are stupid young people and "thugs" on both sides of the fence, so I'm not sure how this relates to your implication that a Dem committed the act. Again, do you have any proof beyond your wishful thinking and attempts to deflect? I never said anything about responsible adults (obviously a responsible adult Dem OR Rep wouldn't do such a thing), I've only said the responses that a Dem did it are pretty ridiculous.

LOL... I've heard some very childish things on this forum, but you officially take the cake! I mean, are you really using the 2nd grade defense of "Jimmy started it?!" For the record, crap like this has been going on for decades - from all sides of the political fence.
