Mystery of the Obama yard sign destruction caper is solved

Political signs dot the landscape of a neighborhood in Austin, Texas, yet one particular sign was singled out for abuse: A Barack Obama placard on the yard of Tom and Beth Priem.

Not once, or twice, but four times the Obama sign was deliberately defaced while other political signs nearby remained untouched. Who was behind this dastardly deed? Beth was determined to find out. Armed with a camera and with her dog at her side, Beth awoke early Wednesday morning and kept an eye out for the perpetrator. Sure even, the vandal returned and began attacking the sign.

"Apparently, we have a Republican deer in our neighborhood!" he said.


This Republican deer can feed a lot of hungry people.

But I guess that only applies to white male ranchers and coal mine owners.

edit: Yes, I know it was a deer in this case. But far too often it is a person with no respect for free speech or property rights.
