Why people should NOT steal others political signs...

[K9soul]

PT's Obama's supporters sure get themselves worked up when anything is posted indicating that Obama was wronged in any way but fail to see any wrongs committed when the tables are turned.

I think that's a bit of a broad and generalizing statement. Anyway I feel it is wrong to go onto someone's property and take anything without permission. It would not matter to me what the sign had on it. I also think even general Halloween type pranks are wrong, egging or TPing, whatever it may be, is vandalism and invasion of someone's property and is wrong.

You may be right as I have already happily been proven wrong. I just feel that this particular campaign has been extremely negative and especially here on PT. One person in particular has been so rude that I have been using my Ignore button. We all have a right to disagree but, as the saying goes, not to be disagreeable. Name calling and such has gone overboard here of late and I have pretty much stayed out of the Dog House because of it.

I agree Pam, that it has gotten disturbingly nasty, with a total loss of respectful behavior towards others. Not just here but everywhere you look. It seems a particularly vicious election and I will be glad when it is over. We can only hope some of the anger and hate fades, on both sides.

Here in commie-pinko Ann Arbor, things can get pretty ugly! ~

Ann Arbor man backing GOP gets nasty surprise
• (http://www.mlive.com/annarbornews/ne..._gop_gets.html)

In a decidedly Democratic town awash in a sea of Barack Obama political signs, William Wedemeyer knows he is going against the political grain with the McCain-Palin sign he proudly displays on the front lawn of his Ann Arbor home. But Wedemeyer was taken aback when he recently received a package in the mail addressed to "Joe Six Pack" and containing a couple of bags of dog feces.

>>

Wedemeyer reported the incident to the Postal Inspection Service. An inspector said they are investigating and that mailing injurious material is a felony punishable by up to a year in prison.

Wedemeyer said he learned the package was mailed from the post office on Stadium Boulevard and that the person paid for the postage with a credit card.

DUHHHH... Looks like the not-quite-so-smarty-after-all-pants responsible is in for a nasty surprise him/herself!

I agree this is a broad generalization and I see it's been acknowledged as such. I am a Obama supporter. I think stealing signs shows a lack of respect of property and personal expression. I too have used my ignore button on several occassions and am avoiding the DH due to the lack of respect I've seen on posts here. Interestingly not one of the above posters are on that list I will say that reading some of the other threads, my opinion on a few people has changed. Some for better, most for worse.
Is it Wed yet?

Me too. Those posting as of this moment have been agreeable and, though I have differed on things with them in the past, there has been a mutual respect which has grown over the years. The "offender" has not posted in this thread and, should they, I will not know what was said as I can't read it. (Love that little feature!) Let me just say that I am not for either candidate. I do not like McCain but my dislike for Obama runs much, much deeper. I wanted Ron Paul to get the nomination (wishful thinking) but the Republicans will have to deal with who they selected and unfortunately will probably lose.

The PHILLIES won, what more do you want?

You only have one person on Ignore? Wow Pam. You have a much higher tolerance for rudeness than I!
