That's A Nice Obama Sign...For Me To Poop On

2008_07_18_poop.jpgApparently multiple shootings and animal porn aren't the only problems facing the Chicago-area. Some disturbed Arlington Heights vandals decided to show one woman what they thought of her "Obama For President" signs by rubbing fecal matter all over them. Wait...what?

Robin Harris of Arlington Heights discovered Wednesday night that someone had smeared feces on two Obama presidential campaign signs in her front yard.

"I was horrified. I felt violated; someone was on my property," Harris said. "I felt outraged that someone would do this to signs. We're all entitled to our opinion."

We know politics is a dirty business, but this is ridonkulous. Who are these people? Toddlers? Mr. Hanky? Domesticated monkeys? A police report was filed and there are no known suspects at the time, though we imagine it won't be hard to find the perps: they'll be the ones with poop on their hands.
