"We talked about the signs," Henderson told FOX 5. "And he asked me to remove the signs and he said he initially put them up because he felt sorry for Mr. Thomas."

I think they should elect here since she's clearly incapable of crafting a convincing lie.

As if those signs persuade anyone to vote.

It is a candidate's conceit that makes them think so.

I can say with a certain confidence that name recognition is important in elections.

It's a shame the guy couldn't remove the signs himself when he didn't want them there.

My gf's uncle ran for provincial government about 15 or so years ago. She told me that workers for her uncle's campaign would go out and destroy opposition signs at night... it was a common thing that all parties did. She's had a cynical view about politics ever since.

If I was the opponent, I'd purchase commercial airtime and just run that video on a loop.

Dear diary, today I saw the signs, and I opened up my eyes because I saw the signs. And then I stole them.

The only thing political signs do on a private business is drive away business from people who plan on voting for the other guy.

You can tell she's putting them back. The video looks like she is stealing them, but all the cars and people are going backwards.

"Clearly I'm not stealing," said Henderson, a former ANC commissioner. The African National Congress (ANC) has been South Africa's governing left-wing party, supported by its tripartite alliance with the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) and the South African Communist Party (SACP), since the establishment of non-racial democracy in April 1994. It defines itself as a "disciplined force of the left".

Wow...my first mental image was that of one white guy stealing another white guy's election signs. Does that make me a racist because I envisioned white people doing the stealing?

Or am I racist/sexist because I didn't envision a non-white / female running for office?

Either way, I suppose I'm part of the problem.

Earguy: As if those signs persuade anyone to vote.

The signs get the delegates name "you there". Most people don't vote based on the issues or research they've done on the delegate, they vote on who they like more and seeing someones name plastered all over everything is going to make them more familiar to you, and when it comes to marking someone on the ballot you're more likely to mark a name you know.

Instead of stealing your opponents signs, just go in to his campaign office and ask for a bunch of his signs then post them at abortion clinics with the hand written tag line "I'm John Doe and I endorse the vacuuming of your fetus"

/should cast a nice shadow

The video has a bit more info than TFA, including more crazy and easily disputed quotes from the thief. My favorite part is the campaign signs she put in front of the diner "at the owner's request" are now in a pile BEHIND the diner.

I forget what restaurant did this, but to help get campaign signs off the side of highways they offered a free pizza for every ten (?) campaign signs you brought in (POST election, of course).

He did want them there, the woman was simply lying.


Matt Ashburn is the owner of Capital City Diner.

"I just think it's crazy," Ashburn said. "I knew D.C. politics were nuts but I didn't know it was this crazy."

Ashburn says he's a big time supporter of Councilmember Thomas and never asked Henderson to remove anything from his property.
