If this is true, it’s absolutely and positively unacceptable:
Supporters of Gov. Scott Walker report 78 pro-Walker signs have been vandalized throughout Sheboygan County in the last month.
Susan Hundley, chairwoman of Walker’s Sheboygan County campaign, said that includes 60 different locations, with 18 repeat visits by vandals. Six of those signs were 4-foot-by-8-foot vinyl banners that cost about $300 apiece.
Obviously there’s no way of knowing what’s really going on in Sheboygan County, but destruction of other people’s property just isn’t cool.
We should be able to disagree politically without having to resort to these kinds of tactics.
Agreed. But the TRUE nonsense is paying $300 for a 4X8 vinyl banner. Here’s one for $72.08 which includes metal grommets AND shipping.

Clearly they’re not fiscal conservatives.
are there any fiscal conservatives in WI
I think it was a Walker “plant”… there is no proof it was anyone associated with the Dems.
Anon, you’re absolutely right that there’s no proof of who’s responsible, but the point I was trying to make is that our side shouldn’t need to resort to these tactics, if in fact someone (or someones) from our side is in fact responsible.
We need to denounce this crap in the strongest words possible. We should not be acting like Fred Frisby-style thugs and lowering urselves to that level.
That doesn’t mean we don’t attack ReThuggery and make our views known forcefully and aggressively, but we don’t need to vandalize and be childish.
That’s the appropriate response and the actions we should all be taking…and it’ll expose the Walker boys when they try to be the “plants” Anon is rightfully suspicious of.
