In my area there have been a lot of complaints about vandals destroying or removing Kerry/Edwards signs, so it goes both ways.

But for the DNC Chairman to make a statement like that is really over the top!

'McAuliffe also issued a warning to the students that President Bush would reinstitute the military draft.' Who's the whacko here? Evil or Very Mad

Sounds to me like a conspiracy to commit vandalism ... true it is a misdemeanor in most states but when you count up the number of signs it could easily become a felony

I would love to see some punk try to take mine off my lawn or mine off my truck. I sent this to Drudge.

In many jursdictions theft or defacing political signs during a campaign is indeed a crime. If I recall correctly, soliciting a crime may also be a crime (or might be prosecutable as conspiracy) if anyone follows through.

Anyone know
a. Precisely where McAuliffe made these statements?
b. Whether there have been any signs stolen/defaced in that area since?
c. If we have any lawyers out there that might weigh in on this matter?

Someone stole one of those large Bush/Cheney signs, you know, about 2 1/2 feet by 6 feet and supported by two metal posts. The posts are still there. Today, the owner put up a smaller hand-lettered sign that reads (approximately):
"This Bush/Cheney sign
was stolen by
Democrat thugs
in violation of
Free Speech"
The sign location is along a busy road, so lots of folks will see it.
