Business owners Dee and Gene Liboff of Woodland Hills, California, just wanted to show their support for Mitt Romney in the coming election by putting up a handmade sign in front of their home.
But what they were shown in return is the ugly side of some Obama supporters.
Ever since putting up the sign, the Liboffs, who are members of the San Fernando Valley Patriots, have been engaged in a running war with vandals who have cut, pulled down, torn apart and ripped the sign out of the ground.
Every time it happens, the Liboffs get out the tape and glue and put the sign back up. While doing so, they have been yelled at and cursed.
A passing biker who saw Dee fixing the sign screamed, “You are dead.”
But things took an even darker turn when the sign was vandalized again and the Liboffs found what appeared to be a Molotov cocktail left beside the ruins of the sign, possibly as a warning.
The makeshift bomb, consisting of a jar full of some sort of liquid and a rag stuffed in the jar mouth, prompted the bomb squad and fire department to begin a serious investigation into the targeting of the Liboffs’ sign. Police and fire officials have assured the Liboffs that they have their full support.
All the vandalism and threats have taken a toll on the Liboffs. “It hit me pretty hard this last time physically and emotionally,” Dee said. “This is not the country I believed in and couldn’t wait until I was old enough to vote. We must save our freedom. Socialism and communism are a deep cancer eating up the dreams of our children’s future.”
Dee notes that there are also good people in the neighborhood who have expressed support and sympathy for their troubles as well. So the sign remains.
“I worked on that beat up. battle-scarred banner and it is up again with a warning poster in English and Spanish saying, ‘Smile, you are on camera and this area is being investigated,’” Dee said.

You ever been to Woodland Hills?
It ain’t like Ohio countryside Farmer Dean.
More like Shaker Heights
My car was vandalized 3 times in a month. Slashed tire, missing lug nuts, and finally a rock to my windshield.
I removed all my political stickers after that. It’s been quite the last two weeks, but the intimidation worked. I am frightened because I was targeted for my beliefs. In America.
This is true... but... everytime I see an Obama 2012 sticker I have to resist the urge to run them off the road.
Well, there is that deer in Texas
The ACLU is missing in action as usual when it comes to Republicans’ civil rights.
One shot from 200yds would cure it. Let it hit where it may. Liberalism is a freakin’ cult of the highest order.
Police and fire officials have assured the Liboffs that they have their full support. Yep, they'll be there with body-bags, toe-tags and official CSI clipboards within an hour of the attack.
With the RATs supporting the terrorists and the terrorists supporting the RATs sooner or later they had to meld to increase their effectiveness.
ANYONE WHO HAS A SIGN NEEDS TO HAVE VIDEO SURVEILANCE ON IT!
During a 30 mile drive to a family picnic yesterday I counted four large Romney/Ryan signs and one small obama placard - we are in the southern Puget Sound/Hood Canal area of Western Washington.
I like that idea. Decorate the sign with leafy things around the edges. I would go so far as to add razor blades to the legs just below the banner on the inside. Put an empty box of bandaids about 10ft away. :^)
This is what Obama meant in 2008 when he said "get in their faces!".
Somebody get Janet on the phone.....Must be Tea Party people again.
“GET OFF MY LAWN....”
“GET OFF MY LAWN....”
Be specific FRiend! Know where you are!
The crimes are in violation of FEDERAL election laws against voter intimidation.
The donut brigade are not doing their damn job.
It’s a black thing and you don’t want to get keyed—or worse.
My Son-in-law has this bumper sticker on his SUV:
The other night, some tolerant liberal took a sharpie and wrote across it a suggestion to perform an impossible sexual act.
With very rare exceptions I only see Zero Stickers on Priuses here in Ventura County — odd for so close to LA. More R/R stickers than Zero ones!
No matter where you’re at,the same rules of engagement apply.
