October 24, 200817 yr Yesterday I picked up a couple of McCain/Palin stickers from the local Republican campaign office. After reading about this, there is no way I am putting them on our family's 2 vehicles. McCain volunteer Attacked, Letter Scratched Into Her Face http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/17789356/detail.html "the robber...then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim's car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter "B" into her face"
October 24, 200817 yr From the same article: The Obama-Biden campaign released a statement, commenting on the attack. The statement said, "Our thoughts and prayers are with the young woman for her to make a speedy recovery, and we hope that the person who perpetrated this crime is swiftly apprehended and brought to justice." And I will use a line McCain's camp has used before: “I think there have been quite a few reporters recently,” said Mr. McCain’s closest adviser, Mark Salter, “who have sort of implied, or made more than implications, that somehow we’re responsible for the occasional nut who shows up and yells something about Barack Obama.”
October 24, 200817 yr Along those same lines. Wow...talk about over reacting :lol:. It is a sign. Just put up a new one. People give those things out like crazy.
October 24, 200817 yr Wow...talk about over reacting :lol:. It is a sign. Just put up a new one. People give those things out like crazy. I don't really think it's overreacting....If someone trespasses on your property and steals from you, you have the right to protect your property.
October 24, 200817 yr I don't really think it's overreacting....If someone trespasses on your property and steals from you, you have the right to protect your property. So you think it is okay to shoot someone who is stealing a campaign sign? Really? That's not over reacting? And I think it depends on what state you are in as to whether or not you can use lethal force to defend your property.

Wonder if he will say that hateful rhetoric from Obama caused this. With that being said, 75center said it best, and I agree 110% .... These things are happening from the nutcases on both sides. Sad.

You think someone is going to try to trespass or steal anything from that guys yard again?

October 24, 200817 yr Some might now, out of spite. If they do, then I have no sympathy for what may or may not happen to them.
October 24, 200817 yr If they do, then I have no sympathy for what may or may not happen to them. :lol: Okay. I stand by my beliefs that any use of a weapon is an over reaction. It is a campaign sign...it isn't that important.
October 24, 200817 yr No matter what it is not the right of others to take anothers property. I worked for mine and it is not theirs. Period. ! ! ! !:fight:
