This Presidential election may be one of the most historic, but it's also turning out to be one of the dirtiest.
Barack Obama and John McCain supporters tell us they both had some of their campaign signs stolen over the past few weeks.
Jesse Jackson has shown his support for Barack Obama on his lawn for the past couple of months. But yesterday he says he was appalled to find his campaign signs defaced with racial slurs. "I thought he might have trouble trying to win. But I didn't think it would get this nasty, I thought we'd long since passed that,"Said Jackson.
Callie Goodroom with the G.O.P of Mobile says if people are going to campaign, they should keep it clean. "I don't believe anyone should take up another person's sign and destroy it or take it to the trash or whatever they might be doing with them,"Said Goodrum.
Jesse Jackson tells us vandals also defaced his signs during the Presidential Primary. He says he also filed a police report about Sunday's vandalism.

Like I said before, I don’t have a problem with anyone of any color unless you gripe about being singled out because of your race. I am almost 40 years old and I have had three different full-time jobs in my life and I have been working since I was 18.  I was always taught that I had to earn my paycheck. At each of these three jobs, I have been discriminated against because I came in to work and started doing my job. People get ticked off at me and say I’m trying to be a smart a-s by working more. I guess it is showing them up and the boss wonders why they are not doing more. I do not try to call attention to myself by saying “I’ve done more than you”. My job speaks for itself and I don’t have to say a thing. It’s a sad world to live in when you have people jealous of you because you do your job and more and are not getting paid to do more, you just do it. I get talked about because I don’t socialize. I’m there to work, not talk.

Rosepetal I’m glad you said that. Do the best job, and that’s what I been doing and we had a meeting this morning and the owner pointed it out to the supervisor attention and now she is gone, because she used racial slurs this morning.
And the only reason my post got out of hand is because when I made the remark, I feel like i’m being discriminated against at work, another member commented and I was communicating with him back and fourth regarding the situation. So I wasn’t just logged on to talk about my supervisor, it’s just she fit in the topic we are commenting on. Thanks Goodbye I’m going to comment on LAM LUONG’S NOW

sexyn what racial slurs?  i have looked. you were really focused on that supervisor. elections always get dirty.  believe it or not they have been worse. this is a very important election. not becaue of color but because of socialism. the people i come in contact with everyday do not go by color, they all just want to work support their families and get along. you have good and bad people in every color. if you can not advance with the company you are at do your best job and then find another job. good employees are hard to find.

rosepetal I’m not focusing on my supervisor or worried about her at all, she is my least worry. when I posted my comment it was referring to the topic we are suppose to be writing about, not for any one to feel sorry for me or anything. I can handle my own problems, what I post on here was my opinion on the racial slurs on the signs, not to tell everyone my problem and seek advice.

You’re stealing my thunder Rosepetal,you posted right on top of me.lol

I don’t think people think you’re a bad person Sexy N because of your opinion,a lot of people just don’t agree with it. Expect your opinion to be ridiculed and poked at when posting because of all the different opinions and you are entirely correct on being entitled to your opinion,never let anyone take away your freedom of speech and opinions.If all the opinions were arrows I’d probably look like a porcupine from all the opposite points of views. People just aren’t going to agree with you all the time so expect some slings and arrows.

sexyn, you are so right.  no one is against you on this board they are trying to point out to you how to overcome this obstacle, focus on what you want. stop worrying about your supervisor. focus on you.

Everyone is in title to there own opinion, I don’t think members on here that’s posting comments should judge a person or down grade a person because you disagree with what they are saying in there post. That’s not right at all, and I’m sure wkrg didn’t make this available so people can argue or down grade a person just because he or she is not happy with someone opinion.
