Pro-Democrat bumper stickers being targeted in Jacksonville?

[copperfiend]

In the past week, I have had two friends of mine that have had pro-Democrat bumper stickers ripped off of their cars. One had hers ripped off while she was at work downtown. She parked in a parking garage and when she came out to her car, her "Obama '08" bumper sticker was ripped off. Another friend of mine had his ripped off while he was shopping at a Targetl. His bumper sticker said "Vote Democrat". Do you think this happens often in Jacksonville as it has happened to two friends of mine in the past week or do you think it is just a coincidence?

My Kerry 04 yard signs were torn down twice in the last election, so I'm not surprised. It's petty and pointless.

There was a story in Orlando not too long about cars with Obama stickers being spray pained with all kinds of hateful rhetoric.

Its a two way street. I know of several people who had Bush 04 stickers who had the same thing happen.

I'm certain that there is at least one person on this forum that could make a compelling argument in favor of and justifying the surreptitious removal of publicly displayed Democratic campaign material.

Takers?

Why stop with the dems, why not go for all campaign material?

Because Midway is every bit as partisan as his nemesis, he just doesn't realize it.

When I lived at the corner of Remington St. and Challen Avenue the Repubs would take my Dem signs off my lawn.  I always wanted to get them from it...Larry just said because of that he did it to Rep. signs.  I guess it all works out in the end like the bible says.

do you live near the intersection of san jose and university?  just north of there?  if so, i think i may have picked up your signs.

Ron Paul signs were pulled down all over the city.

I'm not talking about partisanship here.

If you would think about it for a moment, you would realize that a campaign sticker or sign is usually the ultimate expression of partisanship. That's why the candidates of a particular political party reflect party sentiment.

What I am talking about here is the right to display them unmolested, a right which I believe in, a right which is recognized by law.

You do a significantly less artful job than others in attempting to miscast my remarks. Leave this to the professionals, do not try this at home. (professional neocon on closed track)

By calling out another poster for a crime he hasn't acknowledged committing, endorsed, or even defended, you are acting as though only republicans or "neo-cons" have a corner on being a jerk by taking other peoples political statements down. As I stated before, This is an act that is not mutually exclusive to "neo-cons"

THAT is what I am talking about. I don't aim to miscast your remarks, I am simply commenting on your blind antipathy for everyone who doesn't think exactly like you. The fact that they must be simple or liars simply because they arent cast in the same mold as you.

The irony being that it is people who think "like you" who always claim the high road in regards to free thought and inclusion, yet you refuse to accept the fact that people who aren't politically on par with you, are still many times pretty good people.

Why not stick to the threads where RSG speaks on his own behalf to call him out, rather than invoking him into every partisan screed?

careful trying to use logic and reasoning..this will only frustrate you in their lack of understanding.

He does this often...

Actually, the reason I put the "like you" in quotes was to be a bit ironical, if not wholly sarcastic. Im sorry if that was lost on you.
