Couple Endures Death Threat, Vandalism Over Romney Sign

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.

My stickers were pretty benign. Like George Washington shedding a tear. A Gadsden flag. Ben Franklin with caption "Right-wing Nut." A pink GOP elephant.

In 2008 I had anti-Obama stickers on my car. As a result, car was keyed 3 times, twice in Costco parking lot. If Democrats have such a good plan, why do they result to thuggery to suppress the opposition rather than arguing merits of their future plans? I'm currently very concerned about a mailer from the Democratic Party of Florida informing potential voters that “THE AARP IS GRAVELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE RYAN VOUCHER PLAN”. Of course they fail to mention the voucher plan is simply exploratory and that it was considered by past Democratic leaders. Point is, we need to do something about Medicare and Democrats refuse to admit the dismal failure of ObamaCare to address issues. Sad to see an election run on scare tactics. Our two parties have become so polarized that honest and reasonable discussion is out. Although I previously opposed it, we now need a third party to keep the other two in line and focused on helping all Americans, not specific “minority” groups.

The single largest contribution to the nation Obama’s muse Alinsky made was the annihilation of grace and class in America.

I live in one of the most liberal counties in America. My car is a piece of junk and I hate to associate R/R with that kind of losermobile, but as I drive around I want the libs around me to know there are some of us here. Bumper stickers can be put on a sheet of soft magnetized vinyl that sticks on your car and can be taken off when you’re parked.

BTW, I’m actually seeing quite a few “Romney-Ryan,” “MITT,” and “Catholics for Romney-Ryan” bumper stickers even in this incredibly leftist area. Not very many Obama-Biden 2012 stickers.

to avoid having your property targeted by the thugs while also getting the R/R some exposure...

carry around a few R/R bumper stickers. if you see an 0bama sticker, cover it with the R/R sticker

as an added bonus, the 0bama voter may receive backlash from his fellow 0bama voters

:)

“ANYONE WHO HAS A SIGN NEEDS TO HAVE VIDEO SURVEILANCE ON IT!”

And rub the sign with Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac. Then look for jerks with Calamine Lotion on their hands and arms!

That is from the famous movie, Caberet. I wonder if this is the version with the words at the end, "you still think you can stop them"?

Its not that there are to parties that are so polarized that they cannot agree, we have two different outlooks on life. On one hand government controls everything (totaltitalitarian) and the other being freedom and personal responsibility. The two are exact opposite to one another. There can be no compromise or meeting of the minds when this dichotomy exists which is most of the time throughout human history. There are simply people who want total control over everything.

I say get a bale of Romney stickers, plaster them on Rat cars, and then sit back and watch the vandalism to their own kind.

That is what the other side is. Plain and simple, they only know one way to go, and it yours is not their way, this is the end result.

Today, I was behind a guy in a toyota who was stopping and picking up Romney/Ryan signs and throwing them in the back seat. Last electcion, I was sitting on the front porch and watched a pickup with a guy standing in the back go from pole to pole and staple a Democrat poster over the Republican one, not under or above, but over top of.

That is the way they play.
