"This is naked, raw terrorism."
It most certainly is.

You Have the Right To Bear Arms
by Steven D
Mon Oct 22nd, 2012 at 12:52:03 PM EST
The 2nd amendment allows you to purchase and own a firearm. That doesn't give you the right to use that shoot at signs advocating for a political candidate you dislike intensely, in this case Barack Obama. From Lubbock Texas:
“Hundreds of Obama yard signs have been stolen from neighborhoods all across Lubbock,†Lubbock Democratic Party chairperson Kenny Ketner said at a press conference Sunday. “We have had over half a dozen of our large 4×4 and 4×8 signs stolen, vandalized, or shot. And as of about 1 a.m. this morning, we can add hate crime to the list, as two of our 4×4 signs at 26th and University Ave. were vandalized with the n-word written multiple times and mustard sprayed all over the signs.â€
Literally hundreds. Link has all the credibility of some obscure fake news site that the article author is identified only as "Steve D." No phothgaphic evidence. All hearsay.
This is naked, raw terrorism. Because nothing sends a message that people shouldn't exercise their first amendment rights of free speech, particularly political speech, than bullet holes through through their signs supporting a political candidate, any candidate. We've already seen a non-political business owner receive death threats for refusing to allow the Romney campaign to use his restaurant for a campaign event. We have seen bullets fired through the Denver office of the Obama campaign. How soon before someone is wounded or killed by someone for standing at on a street corner with an Obama sign or knocking on someone's door distributing campaign literature? All I know is that we are getting awfully close to crossing the boundary into territory that no one with any conscience at all would find agreeable.
Daily, our airwaves and the internet are inundated with messages of hate, racism and even the advocacy of violence from conservative politicians, conservative media and anyone with a Twitter account, a Facebook page or the ability to post to a comment to a website who repeats the offensive propaganda that is now taken as holy writ by a not insignificant portion of our population. Don't tell me that this mass of negative, demeaning, hateful and often inaccurate and false "speech" by partisans on the right does not stoke the fever of individuals who then take matters into their own hands. Don't even try. When you, my conservative and Republican brethren persist in stoking the flames of hate and outrage, sooner or later, it has consequences. For life, for liberty, for the pursuit of happiness.
Stop going down this path.
And by god, stop brazenly lying about what's happening:
In a separate post Monday morning, Ketner said Carl Tepper, head of the local Republican Party, accused the Democrats of vandalizing their own signs during an interview with a local radio station.
Yepper. Don't go down this road. Steve D. thinks it's very bad. You know what baby lon, this is bad and it actually happened:
Wisconsin State Senators' son beaten by sign stealing thugs (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/10/22/Wisconsin-Senator-s-Son-Beaten-to-a-Pulp-by-Obama-s-Thugs)
Those dirty ba$tards!!11!! Stealing Obama signs!!! ZOMG!!!111!!!
No.
Sorry (D)Ullards.....stealing Romney/Ryan signs. So, still naked, raw, XXX eleventy!!!111!!! terrorism or what?
-
If Obama signs are being stolen it's by his supporters that are too lazy to get their own signs. Stealing one is easier.
-
Aren't these the same idiots who were high fiving each other a few weeks ago at reports of Romney signs bring pissed on?

Redistribution of assets. They should like that.

From the Booman article quoted. The original posted left the last part out.
Take a look, its the very last part.

They're also the same group of idiots who high-five each other for blocking Fox News in hotels. See, it's free speech for THEM...

West Texas is very conservative. Lubbock does have its pockets of blue because of (#17 BCS ranked) Texas Tech.

Nah you got it all wrong, this is not terrorism, this is just civil unrest according to the US Government. Local petty theft and just a conflict in ideas.
Terrorism seldom happens in America except for 911, anytime our uniformed military is attacked then this is a hate crime, or work place violence.
So will the attacked Embassy and the dead be put down as work place violence due to the fact that Embassy is considered American soil ???

Put down the pipe, Vesta. Civil unrest is against the government and involves events such as protests, etc. Trying to beat people up, destroy people's personal property, etc., in an attempt to prevent them from voting is terrorism. It's what they called it with beatings, lynchings, etc. in the South against black Americans, it's what it's called today.

I see any of these fruits come on my property and start destroying my possessions, I won't be coming alone. That is a fact.

^5 Linda this what I was referring to.
We need to figure out what a crime is, be it hate, terrorism or a civil disturbance. Seems like all this can be twisted by the Courts to mean anything. People killed off base in uniform smoking a cigarette out side a recruitment center for instace. Is this an act of Terrorism, a hate crime or just a civil disturbance ??? Could be just a bunch of juiced up kids that shot at anything they saw.
Black Churches fire bombed in the South, what is this called, a hate crime , terrorism or civil disturbance, all depends on when the arsonists are caught, their ages and who their family's are.
