Ray Till lives in Seattle's Crown Hill neighborhood. He says his home was vandalized Saturday after he placed McCain campaign signs in his front yard.
Till says; "I found my McCain sign over there on the front porch with dog feces all over it."
During the 2004 campaign, someone had put up a large Bush sign up in a location that was visible from the freeway as I drove to work. On at least two occasions, the sign was broken up or knocked over. I don't take that route anymore so I don't know if there's a McCain sign. I should drive by there one day before the election and see.
I've yet to see any vandalism directed at a sign supporting a Democrat candidate. That's because Republicans and conservatives have a little something called respect for other people's property and respect for other people's opinions, even if we disagree with them.
This is not to say that the majority of Democrats and liberals do not. But it's telling that this effort to repress the free speech of others is so one-sided.
