We did research things before we moved out here, and Grays Harbor has a Blue history. It really has been a very friendly town, until last night. Republithug signs seemed to dominate early on, especially on local businesses. We were, by our count the second Obama sign in the Twin Harbor back in June. Incumbent Dem Gov and House signs showed up late.
We've gotten favorable comments on our buttons and tee-shirts, and several Trick or Treaters complimented the Barack O'Lantern. And then, coming back from the grocery store we saw this. The sign had been flanked by the local Democratic contenders, and all were fine yesterday afternoon, but they were gone today and this was left alone. Perhaps the folks want to expose this ugliness. I'd get more worked up about the stupidity and ignorance if it hadn't been a day late and a dollar short.
And, this is the best you can do?

Thanks for the article. A similar defacement happened on a sign here on my street as well. Our sign said "Montana for Obama". The spray paint said 'idiots for Osama'. Nice.
I don't know why some people feel that they must deface someone else's political statement - but you would have heard all the howls of outrage if someone had done that to the huge McCain/Palin sign on the next block.
