It happened in Bonner County the same weekend. To me, this is organized racism. See my previous posts on racism in Idaho: <A HREF="http://myblueidaho.blogspot.com/2007/12/understanding-rural-idaho.html" REL="nofollow">A State Too Great for Hate</A>, <A HREF="http://myblueidaho.blogspot.com/2007/12/racism-in-rural-america.html" REL="nofollow">Racism in Rural America</A>, <A HREF="http://myblueidaho.blogspot.com/2006/12/had-enough.html" REL="nofollow">Had Enough?</A>. Idaho is a state too great for hate, and although we may all say what we want, as granted us through the First Amendment, the destruction of private property is illegal. As Obama has so well demonstrated, more can be accomplished through tolerance and unity than through disrespect and hate.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore, other racist and hateful acts against the Obama campaign have appeared in the media, including the disgusting and egregious killing of a bear cub in North Carolina. That was really sick.Linda/IdahoRockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16130470728836711601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169665014161393790.post-69771180792265703002008-10-22T01:24:00.000-07:002008-10-22T01:24:00.000-07:00You might be right about the significance of the "...You might be right about the significance of the "N", but I've seen a lot of "NObama" signs that exhibit euphony, not racism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169665014161393790.post-3923777311239875992008-10-21T06:53:00.000-07:002008-10-21T06:53:00.000-07:00I agree, defacing any sign is wrong, and should be...I agree, defacing any sign is wrong, and should be handled.<BR/><BR/>So whats your take on the local races?
