posty 2,700 Posted October 17, 2008 http://northernvirginia.cox.net/cci/newslo...validatearticle (Manassas, VA) -- As the general election nears, cases of campaign sign vandalism are on the rise. In one of the more dramatic cases, a sign endorsing the McCain/Palin campaign was slashed in half and the vandal replaced it with a handwritten note. According to WRC-TV, the note read, "Your and your ignorant, racist views have been liberated. You are welcome." There have been cases of vandalism involving signs for the Obama/Biden campaign as well. In Falls Church, an Obama sign was set on fire in someone's front yard. Other signs in Falls Church were defaced and many in the area say their signs have been vandalized multiple times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posty 2,700 Posted October 17, 2008 Here in Northern Virginia, I haven't seen any vandalism, though I have seen McCain/Palin signs that have not been on public property (like the median) that get removed at times and then an Obama/Biden sign replaces it... I have also seen the occasional Obama sign removed and nothing replacing it... I would say about 2-to-1 of McCain signs disappearing over Obama signs...
