Deputy pulls driver over, finds bevy of (GOP) election signs theft

MANCHESTER NY— Ontario County sheriff’s deputies said a passing motorist saw someone stealing a McCain for President sign from a yard on North Main Street in the village Sunday night, so the motorist called 911.

Deputy Joe Murphy stopped a car — around 8:20 p.m. on Route 96 in Victor — that matched the description given by the caller. He reported finding numerous other signs for McCain and Republican congressional candidate John “Randy” Kuhl — along with some Cub Scout signs — inside in the car driven by Roger B. Wood, 35, of 101 Harper St., Apt. 2, Rochester.

Wood was charged with third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle when it was determined that his license had been suspended for failing to answer a summons in Rochester City Court, deputies said.

Wood wasn’t charged with stealing the signs, but the investigation is continuing.

It’s not known what political party Wood belongs to, why he targeted signs for Kuhl and the GOP presidential candidate, or why he also allegedly took Cub Scout signs.

Prosecute him. There is entirely too much of this happening.

Local candidate for sheriff had over 45 signs stolen one weekend.

Liberals are, far too often, petty, nasty people. I’d pity them, if they weren’t trying to run (and ruin) my life.

My yard sign is torn down, bent up or ripped nearly every night. Last night it was replaced with an Obama one. I don’t live in a trash neighborhood either. I keep bending it back and taping it up. Have a spare I have used to help spread out the pain between the two.
It started out just getting pushed back. Then taken out and dropped on the yard. then laying near side walk with wire frame bent. Then plastic was torn and wires bent again. Then last night it was torn even more and replaced with an Obama sign. found the McCain sign down the road.
It keeps progressing. Waiting for my tires to get slashed or something eventually.
If this were a hundred years ago, I’d just sit out with the shotgun and settle it man to community organizer.
Today,, what’s the point. Bigger battles may be coming.

Confession time. I stole my next door neighbors McCain Palin sign Saturday.

She had a McCain Palin and all I had was a McCain so I switched em.

When I got back from Church, they were switched back. I was hoping she wouldn’t notice.

You put out a yard sign...it gets removed. You put a bumper sticker on your vehicle...it gets vandalized. You verbally express support for a Republican candidate...you receive a barrage of insults.

The party of tolerance.

Usually it’s the local Democrat party and its thugs that organizes this kind of activity.

But this year, Obama actually seems to be organizing a lot of this sort of behavior from the top.

Stealing campaign signs is probably one of the recognized activities of a Community Organizer, along with signing up dead people to vote.

So Obama knows all about it. “I’m Barack Obama, and I approve this message.”

From this behavior, one can conclude that Democrats are thieves that don’t respect your right to free speech. But, of course, we don’t need more evidence of that fact.
