Why do political campaign signs make some people so mad? Dotting leaf-ridden lawns and downtown medians, red, white and boring campaign signs showcase quick bites of opinion or simply boast a local politician’s last name. Effective or not, the poor signs are subject to violence, theft, vandalization, and the deep throaty sighs of perturbed, time-rich, white folks with opposing political views. We’re all entitled to our opinions, until we stick it in the front yard.
