Kerry signs become MIA
East Medford neighbors lose more than 100

Political signs supporting Sen. John Kerry are being snatched from east Medford lawns faster than homeowners can replace them.

"They took every single sign down," said Mari Morsell, Democratic regional coordinator for Medford who lives in the neighborhood. "The only one we could find was in somebody’s window. Some that were nailed to the house were even taken down."

Morsell estimates that more than 100 political signs supporting the Democratic presidential contender were stolen in what she believes was a coordinated effort Thursday night in the old east Medford area.

Since she discovered the theft of signs, which are handed out for a $1.50 donation, Morsell brings her own inside at night for safekeeping.

Another east Medford resident, Maggie Thompson, has replaced eight signs taken from three different locations in her front yard. "They actually took one off the porch," she said.

Damn. Things seem happening in my old home town.

1. Get this part: Indecent exploitation of 9/11

In Ashland, however, resident Ryan Lipe blamed liberals for stealing 13 Bush/Cheney signs from his yard in the past six weeks.

Lipe, who ordered his signs from the Internet, wrote in an e-mail sent to the Mail Tribune, "Unfortunately, our town, and much of our country, has been overtaken by a number of liberal radicals that lack the ability to exude decency and respect for others."

Bryan Platt, chairman of the Jackson County Republican Central Committee, said he had heard of only one report of Bush/Cheney signs taken recently.

He pointed out that there aren’t many locally, however, because the Bush/Cheney campaign has selected Sept. 11 as the big day for putting up signs.

2. DAMN!!!

Just goes to show everyone how DESPERATE these freepers are! Now they got to play dirty like this?!? Reminds me of a school yard bully stealing stuff out of other childrens's backpacks. This is too disgusting.

Over at college, my boyfriend (noahmijo) told me some girl had to buy a new Kerry sticker because someone actually RIPPED the one she had on her car right off.

7. yup...

But it's serious here in Arizona, being we're a SWING state. So, the ripping off of Kerry bumper stickers off of fellow Democrat's vehicles....(shakes her head). It's as if these freepers think that ripping off a Kerry sticker will earn a vote for bush or something...I don't know. I just don't like seeing this stuff happen especially in SWING states.

8. Hey! I lived in Gtants Pass so here is what you do. You stay up and

shoot one of the fuckers on your porch dead as shit, claim you thought it was a burglar. There won't be any more sign stealing after that.
