While we were practicting & recording in his basement.
I'm not an Obama supporter, but that's bullshit. His mom is so upset.
Anything like this been happening in your towns?

Actually yes, it's getting pretty wild here. Both sides are doing some pretty ridiculous stuff.

I went to a recent School Board meeting and before the meeting started, some older folks were debating Obama and McCain. It was a heated discussion, but it wasn't littered with hate. I'd like to think the New York electorate is intelligent.

Ours is very littered with hate. Each side calls the other side racists.

In school (classes, dorm, etc.) we've had some great debates and no hate or disrespecting. It sucks that people would burn signs though. That's disgraceful.

Just hook up the sign to an electric current? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W54FRb5Vfg)

What does that accomplish? On either side, stealing/destroying a sign is not going to make the owner vote for the other candidate. And it's not like people see a sign in a yard and say "oh hey, that just influenced me to vote for that person". Geeeeez.

In Orange County, someone hung a Palin dummy from a noose in their yard or something like that.
Bleh, it's sad.

My neighbor has the only Vote No on prop 8 (For gay marriage) sign on the whole block; their signs have been mysterious kicked down or stolen numerous times.

Actually, the Obama hangings first started here at George Fox University months ago, and continued with little fanfare around the nation (google ftw), until the Palin situation got some attention - and then the subsequent Obama hanging did as well.

This occurred in Lexington, KY as well, and then some reactionaries hung an Obama effigy. Fun times.

I guess they claimed it was a Halloween decoration here, and their neighbors through a fit.

I have to stop my friend all the time from tearing up Obama/Biden signs in his and mine neighborhoods. He does it to try and annoy me.
