Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

flags and signs burned

Unread post by billy.pilgrim »

rough election, I guess it's just punks, no real voter intimidation

LAKE COUNTY, Fla. -
Police are searching for the vandals who apparently torched more than a dozen campaign signs and American flags in a Howey-in-the-Hills veteran's yard.

William Overbay said someone ignited the flags and signs, which supported Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, that he had lined along his yard. The vandals also painted a sign on his driveway reading "Obama for life," at his DuPont Circle home, Overbay said.



"This is the first thing I saw was this sign painted on my driveway," Overbay said.

Howey-in-the-Hills police say no one left any clues behind to identify themselves. Overbay said as a Vietnam-era veteran, the hard feelings caused by the vandalism run deep.

"To give that many years for my country and to see it desecrated in such a despicable way angers me," Overbay said. "We have freedom of speech and to desecrate any kind of signs is absolutely despicable and a violation of the constitution of the United States."

Overbay said he'll be replacing the destroyed signs and flags in time for the election.

The only people who would paint "Obama for life" are the far-right Republicans who call Obama "The Messiah" and "The Annointed One", labels never heard from the left/liberal/Democrat side.

Instead of expressing any outrage for the act rstrong immediately tries to blame on a far right person with absolutely no facts to back up the allegation. A typical lib response.

you sure pumped up ragin for the unsubstantiated claim that liberals and the dnc sent letters from washington state to republicons with absolutely no facts to back up the allegation.

Was that a typical con response



as with both of these claims, we don't have enough info yet. I say investigate fully and prosecute fully and put in place real measures to stop voter fraud and intimidation.

easy to notice that none of the cons has spoken out against any of the right wing fraud and intimidation but the libs have spoken against fraud committed by libs
