I agree the N word is more harsh than saying Red neck. I can get banned from CD for using the N word. but I can say red neck 100 times and not receive a warning. Does it matter that those on CD more often than not use it in a derogatory way to describe rual whites? Obviosly not.
Jim: That is our word! You've got no right using it!
Huck Griffin: Hey, I'm cool, I'm cool. No problem. Could you pass me the oar, N-word Jim?

If a Black man wrote the N word on Obama's sign, does that still make it racist ?

In the ghetto, a shot being fired would just be........another shot. No big whoop.

It's not that big of a deal here in TX (or Lubbock) either. Difference is we shoot at signs or targets but in Chicago they shoot each other.

Most college kids are liberals, the only type of voter who would think it hilarious to vandalize their own signs to make 'the other guys' out as offensive and racist. I can just see one of them adding the n-word across a sign as the others chant in unison "paint paint paint paint", all because their elbow-patch-wearing professor told them to 'seize the day'

Please don't act as if this is one sided, anyone with half a brain, knows this stuff happens to signs for both Candidates.

My sister lives in a afluent community. She has signs of Romeny in front of her home, don't get me started here please. Things have happened to the front of her home and trust me this was not Romeny supporters who have done these things.

Also to the home kitty-corner who has Romeny sings. Same thing, police have been called. This is a afluent community, but think that thugs are doing these kind of violent act.

Don't you know, inmature and ignorant people who do these things are wrong, no matter who you vote for.

Don't site here and act as if this only happens on one side, because we each know better, there are thugs, there are ingorant, and there is hatred from both sides.
