Each day I pass by two houses on opposite sides of a busy road taking the kids to school. Every morning the house on the right's Obama '08 sign is missing, and the McCain signs on the left are still there. In the afternoon when I pick the kids up the Obama sign has been replaced, only to be missing again the next morning. I've noticed this pattern for over a week now. While I find it humorous, I don't think stealing someone's sign is nice. I am a supporter of the 1st amendment after all. On the other hand: shooting up someone's house because of their political affiliation is just crazy ass dumb.
LONGWOOD, Fla. -- The home of a Central Florida Republican headquarters manager was shot up and damaged over his support of Sen. John McCain, the man told police. Rog Coverely said several pellets pierced his Longwood home. Coverely showed several spiderwebbed-holes in the front windows of his home. The Republican manager said he is convinced he was targeted because of new McCain signs he added around his home."All I can tell you is this, I have a very good relationship with my neighbors," Coverely said. "I mow my lawn. The only thing that has changed is I have two McCain signs in my front yard."Coverely said he has taken about 300 calls concerning stolen or vandalized McCain signs in the area."It says this campaign is getting vicious," Coverely said.Coverely said it appears Democrats are becoming more aggressive in the county."I wouldn't say slipping, but I would say the Democrats have become far more aggressive in Seminole County because it is such a heavy Republican area," Coverely said. Meanwhile, McCain was in Florida on Thursday. The Republican presidential nominee spoke at Allstar Building Materials in Ormond Beach. Later he'll be in Sarasota for a "Joe the Plumber" bus tour rally at Robarts Arena.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
