Liberals are not the only vandals in the political arena. It would seem that conservatives are equally guilty. Consider this car that was vandalized in opposition to one Obama supporter:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/20/204023/54/741/636920

The news also (briefly) covered other stories of vandalism to supporters of both candidates.

If there’s going to be prejudice, it would probably be better to categorize “extremist political fanatics” together rather than incorrectly attributing such behavior to one faction (consisting of millions of people) over another. In other words, rather than saying “Liberals, it would appear, detest the democratic process and will not tolerate dissent from their platform.” (earlier in this thread), it would perhaps be more accurate to say “Some people, it would appear, [....]”

Unless of course the goal is to fuel the antagonism. In which case, feel free to continue making sweeping statements about millions of innocent people because of the actions of a few “nut-jobs.” (which sounds an awful like like prejudice, doesn’t it?)

We live in Ohio and are supporting McCain/Palin. We decided to put the bumper-stickers on our old truck, instead of our sports car for fear of possible damage. So far, the truck is O.K., but we’e had Obama supporters, (some with, some without Obama bumper-stickers), tailgate us while screaming and cussing, ride our tail, then jerk in front of us to show-off their bumper-stickers, and one even try to run us off the road while flipping the bird,(this was a black WOMAN).

I’ve had my Obama sign torn to shreds and it’s replacement stolen. It’s insane that people can’t just allow others to express their views without resorting to damaging other people’s property. It’s pathetic no matter which candidate one supports to resort to such stupidity. God Bless America and our right to speak our minds.

If it’s any consolation, Obama signs in my yard have been (1) stolen and (2) defaced with racial slurs. So you see, demented people exist on both sides. I don’t remember this from past elections, but I never had lawn signs before. It’s a sad commentary on our democracy.

Obama/Biden signs have been destroyed here in Loudoun County. It’s not just McCain/Palin signs. Does no one remember that a Democratic campaign office was destroyed and a person killed?

You don’t have a corner on this one. Things are happening from your side too.

How about installing video cameras pointed at the signs? You will have the picture of perpetrators, sufficient to use in filing charges.

The vandalism is all over. And Conservatives are the usual victims.
On a recent trip, my friend’s car was keyed with “Leave you F-ing SOB” when we stopped to eat at a restaurant in Seattle, WA. It was a surprise because we parked in a lighted lot and there were lots of customers who must have seen them form the letters. Nobody admitted to seeing the thugs. We reported it to police, by phone. We were unable to wait for them to come, but a waiter took pictures of the car with his cell phone. He promised to give them to police.

Yes, we had a McCain/Palin ’08 bumper sticker.

These liberals are so compassionate and tolerant of diverse viewpoints.
