It’s campaign season, and that’s evident based on the assault of television and radio political ads that are dropping as the nation girds for this important election. This week’s Letter of the Week underscores just how strong the feelings are running on both sides of the ticket. Thanks for the letter, Mr (s) Evans, you can pick up your $25 gift certificate to Dinners Ready by emailing the Source at info@tsweekly.com or stopping by our office, 704 NW Georgia.
They’ve done it again. I knew they would. Some (A)hole McCain supporter stole my “Obama/Biden” yard sign. I bought that sign. They don’t give those out, so it’s not like he or she stole a value-less door hanger. Maybe the taker feels justified. Republicans tend to see enemies everywhere, and where there’s enemies, there’s evil, and evil is not to be tolerated or negotiated with; it is to be destroyed.
Republicans see an enemy in Barack Obama. They genuinely fear what might happen if he becomes president, as if they haven’t given us anything to be concerned about during their ongoing tenure. Let me be the first to say, if the rest of us can survive eight years of Bush/Cheney (and it remains to be seen), I don’t wanna hear one syllable of bitch or moan when Obama’s elected President. Not one peep. And to the moron who stole my yard sign because he feels he had the right, being at war with an evil enemy and all, I have just one thing to say.
You’re a thief and I’m a better American than you.

Sad, but true. Just listen to the amount of booing and shouted comments like “kill him,” “traitor,” “off with his head” and “terrorist” that seem to be present at every McCain Palin rally. There is some big time missplaced anger out there.
I’m sorry that J Evans had his/her sign stolen. However, it just as easily could have been an Obama supporter who wanted it for their yard. Those Obama signs cost money, I know because I wanted one for my yard, but couldn’t afford it. Let’s not fall into the trap of blaming our GOP neighbors for something they might or might not have done. There are a myriad of things that could have happened to your sign… drunk college kids, teenagers, Obama supporters, republican thieves… who really knows? Let’s just bask in the glory of ridding our country of the worst administration in history come November!!!
So just because your sign was stolen it has to be a McCain supporter. You are a very small minded individual and it is understandable why you would be an Obama supporter.
Yes, lets blame the Obama supporters who are too cheap to cover the two dollar charge.
Or maybe it was the homeless man wanted to redecorate his cardboard box with the latest in Liberal designer fashion, Obama Wall Paper.
Or better yet, for the BDS folks, maybe it was some Bush federal government types dropped off in a black Army Ranger BlackHawk ‘copter sneaking in under cover of darkness to swing the Great State of Orebamagon to the Repups.
In other words, any excuse will do ya, especially when the wind just blew your cheap posterboard political sign down the street, you Liberal, Brie eating, White Wine sipping, WHINER.
