Neil, I’ve poked fun of you many times here on CT. Over the last year you’ve showed yourself to not only being a good sport but you have stayed above the fray. The sign pictured is actually a sign of those who do not respect our voting and electoral system. If you haven’t already done so, I would like for you, Gregg Imus, Paul Cook and any other candidate to take a leadership role and start with your own campaign workers. Become an Elliot Ness, you can do this by letting them know how important it is to our system to respect the law, our system and the right to be heard. Instilling these values must start from the top down to the least of the members of your teams. Let them know that in no uncertain terms that they should not impose an eye for an eye. That’s Gods job. Defacing or vandalizing an opponents sign is not only unlawful but screams of sacrilege as it spits in the face of what so many have fought and died for in this country.
My thinking is this. If the candidate can’t lead his own team to play by the rules. I don’t want them in office and I will vote for the other guy or girl.
Self inflicted self pity. Posting on private property again?
Yeah Terry, that’s got to be it. One of Derry’s campaign worked deliberately placed a sign on private property so it could get tossed. Glad to see that you finally chose an appropriate avatar to represent yourself.
The avatar is Dan practicing his free speech.
You think maybe, someone just wants to rip up a sign? It’s par for the course, not pretense for a pity party. Nobody’s losing their free speech, they just keep crying the same ol’ tears. I can’t hear between the sobs.
Terry, if you ever participated in assisting in the placing of campaign signs you would know the aggravation and the feeling of being violationed by this type of destruction. It’s unfortunate that someone feels so much hatred or so unable to express themselves by being informed that they would even knock over someones opposing sign. I have even propped back an opposing candidates sign if it appeared it was maliciously knocked over. It’s the same thing as a coach I teach our kids baseball team. Supporting the right to free speech is a better indication of patriotism than subversive undemocratic fascism. In other words, Id rather win the honest way than by cheating.
It’s all good Papa. I totally agree with you, almost. A personal violation, true. I’ll have to pull out my violin. As far as a campaign supporter, my suggestion is no more absurd than any of the others floating around this circus. It’s not getting dirtier, it’s a dirty world full of dirty people doing much worst things. To blame it on a campaign worker, on either side, is a misleading of justice. Not that Derry placed any blame in the post. That comment was not aimed at him. What he likes to do is make his personal pp’s public. The Indians didn’t build him a wall so they’re all crooks. His sign was ripped up, so the campaign’s getting dirty. Got a scratch on my truck in the parking lot the other day…Life goes on.
Terry, right back at ya almost. My experience of course is not a prooftext for “always” From what I could ascertain out of my limited help in past it’s the same thing that happens in my business. In this case, X party puts up a sign. Y party puts up a sign as well. Somewhere along the line one of the 2 signs gets knocked over, lets say sign Y. A worker from Y drives by and assumes it was someone from X that did it. The beginning of a Hatfield & McCoy feud has now begun. Y retaliates and doubles down on the 1 knocked over Y sign and returns the favor to X with 2 signs. As passionate volunteers get angry things escalate, bitterness ensues and now you have a full on feud, not the kind you and I share (Dave Mason, we just disagree) but real hatred. I once saw 9 of my guys signs knocked over in 1/2 hour. That makes you mad. Your right. It’s nothing new, often the candidates are unaware of the minutia and even worse want to remain ignorant. That’s the part that concerns me. Systemic and willful ignorance at the top.
