Regarding mainstream media, I'll give them a pass this once because specific cases are incredibly localized, and that makes them uninteresting to people not in the area. It sounds like something local news should cover.

Stealing yard signs is a long and respected tradition of American street politics. This is newsworthy only to those who have never paid attention to an election before.

I hate how ALL liberals do this. literally every liberal ever does this.

it's so meta

There are still people here driving around with McCain-Palin bumper stickers.

Well, he's still too young to vote, so it's not far off, Tolstoy.

"Stealing yard signs is a long and respected tradition of American street politics."

No, it's a long and respected tradition of leftist politics because the criminal types tend to be Democrats. It also doesn't usually involve beating people up,

I think jmo is about to beat my record.

Your record will never be broken, My King.

I'm pretty confident your record is considerably higher than +5

Also, at the point where the high schooler is arguing with the guy who's watched elections for considerably longer, something points me to the idea to the former making shut up with his last post.

If only we could be civil, like in the old days. Where are the "Gangs of New York" style politics of yore?

I remember a guy on my parents street had a romney sign. I knocked it over one night. Sure enough romney lost.

That anecdote is proof that liberals have a monopoly on yard sign vandalism and theft.

And conservatives have a monopoly on monopoly.

I think the sign was worth 37 cents? And it was put back up the next day. Luckily romney still lost.

It takes a special kind of douchebag to inundate your yard with political yard signs to accomplish what exactly? Proudly tell your neighbors you suck?

Have you ever met someone so pathetically spineless that they changed their vote because they saw a fuckin yard sign?

Meanwhile, in New Zealand: http://nzh.tw/10559619

Yard signs *for the presidential election* are the most useful for tribal signaling and the least useful for actually accomplishing anything. Insofar as yard signs have value, it's by creating awareness for campaigns that are ignored by most people right up to election day--so, ballot propositions and local elections.

New Zealand, with the cutting edge news stories.

"It takes a special kind of douchebag to inundate your yard with political yard signs to accomplish what exactly? Proudly tell your neighbors you suck?"

No one's inundating your yard with anything. Yard sign are generally place in one's own yard.

"Have you ever met someone so pathetically spineless that they changed their vote because they saw a fuckin yard sign?"

It's not about whether the signs are actually meaningful. They are a form of freedom of speech, and liberal vandalism is further proof that they hate the First Amendment.

It is possible to support a political candidate with needing 37 signs in ones yard.

And this isnt even bad Seen way worse.

If you think our liberal right wing party (yes, liberals are right wing) is overly litigious with the cutting hedge stories, you should see the shambles that is our conservative party. Thankfully nobody votes for them.

Sounds like heaven.

That's definitely not how the first amendment works.

Kicking over a yard sign is also a form of speech, just like having a yard sign is. And, again, it's not like conservatives don't do this shit, just in case you didn't get my joking.

"(yes, liberals are right wing)"
That REALLY depends on how you define liberal. In its antiquated context or in the form "neo-liberal" then fucking sure, do as you shit.
