This Bush-Cheney sign was stolen by communists.

That was the statement written on about four signs in Durham, North Carolina, according to a friend who's in the state this week. He saw them all within the space of about four miles.

I guess when "liberals" isn't enough of a pejorative to sway undecideds, "communists" will do. Is there a Red Scare II on the way, 50 years after the fact? I wasn't aware of it.

This yard sign stealing thing really gets people mad, on both sides. But the GOP is really pushing this, that Dems will stop at nothing to suppress them this time around. I don't know, I think adding up the numbers of yard signs stolen is an exercise in futility (although we know who's more likely to go to the media to whine about it), but for me, the funniest revelation this cycle was that Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) himself, not a staffer, not an operative, but A SITTING MEMBER OF CONGRESS, was caught stealing his opponent's yard signs. Now that shows some drive. Why leave it up to your thugs to steal them when you can do it yourself, and know it's getting done?

Does that mean Sessions is a communist?

Also, wouldn't communists be more likely to simply distribute the signs to be seen and used by the greatest number of people?
