Ohio police arrested four men early Friday on charges of stealing Mitt Romney campaign signs that were found in a union-owned pickup truck, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported.

The signs, some as large as four feet by eight feet, were allegedly stolen from private property and business areas in Wood and Lucas counties in northwest Ohio. They were believed to have been put up by the Northwest Ohio Conservative Coalition, the newspaper said. Ohio is a critical swing state in Tuesday’s presidential election.

Police cited Corey Beaubian, 37, Sean Bresler, 33, John Russell, 39, and Christopher Monaghan, 41, with receiving stolen property, a misdemeanor offense according to the Toledo Blade. Police said the truck, owned by Sheet Metal Workers Local Union 33, contained drills and other tools that could be used to take the bigger signs down.

According to the Plain Dealer, police were not certain the four men are union members, but Russell and Monaghan were both listed as business agents for the Toledo district.

“There have been wide reports of Romney signs being stolen for many weeks…this is the first we heard of anyone being caught,” John McAvoy, president of the Northwest Ohio Conservative Coalition, told the newspaper.

Ohhhhhhhh, that's way too ripe for comment, Hank.
Butt, you knew that.

Fast and Foolish, I'm sure you don't realize it, but "freedom of speech" is a right guaranteed by the Constitution to be free from government interference, not from thieves.

You know why I'm sure you don't realize that basic tenet of the Constitution? Because you clearly don't know much of value at all.

Fish on...

You're driveling again, Todd.
wipe your bib

Have you always been this stupid, Slappy? I almost feel more for Fast and Foolish because at least he wasn't just told that there's no freedom of speech issue involved in a theft of signs by thieves...you, on the other hand, have your head completely up your ass even after just seeing how it works.

Fish on...

Todd

Sssssshh. Odd doesn't do lawyer kinda things. Der Debateer is just a
front.

I do "lawyer kind of things". This, private citizens versus government actors, destroying signs is not a free speech issue. I will side with Todd here. if the police purposely did not arrest the thieves, then you might have an argument that this is a free speech issue.

No, it's not Hank. And you know it.

But...like a good Republi-bot you will continue to say it anyway. Over and over again.

I do indeed find it entertaining to tell you that you're fullofshit on all these easy topics...this one's even easier than the others.

Oh...did I just violate your freedom of speech by telling you you're fullofshit?

Fish on...

Todd

P.S. I think we both agree on the Coogs.

I'm glad you enjoy being so wrong, so often. Republicans would be far happier overall if they took more solace in how wrong they are. You're a shining example of how to be utterly fullofshit and still happy.

You should visit Romney on Wednesday and help cheer him up after he gets his ass handed to him on Tuesday night...he'll need it.

Fish on...

Todd

P.S. Please don't tell me that you really believe...really and truly...that private citizens stealing political signs violates someone's Constitutional rights. Please.

Ahhhh....another one of those situations where you know you're fullofshit, so you won't answer the question. How very...consistent of you.

Fish on...

Todd

Sure you would.

Either that, or you'd blow out your knee running after them, and break your hip as you fell to the ground.

Thanks Todd. Frankly Im surprised you remember all that legal stuff. Its been such a long time, since you had a law license.
Whatever happened to that?
