Reader says Yard Signs are Hate Speech ?
James, I think people here are really more eager just to ban “hate lawn-signs”.
Ridgewood blog asks what qualifies as “Hate Lawn Signs” lol
Any lawn sign that criticizes a regionally significant inherently beneficial use of otherwise tax-revenue-generating chunk of real estate is a “hate lawn sign”.
your views are repulsive, and I am ashamed of you for propagating them. There are no “sensible restrictions on free speech,” and whoever thinks that stifling speech eliminates hatred, anger, and violence, is plainly wrong. The answer to hate speech is more speech, not less.
By the way, anyone who wishes to cling to “fire in a crowded theater,” just remember that the ruling was used to imprison Yiddish-speaking pacifists for handing out fliers to protest World War I. Is that “sensible,” #16?

Not that I had or have one, but the last time I checked we were still living in America, right ?
I guess it depends on the sign but i like Valleywood.
Its ok if the sign reads ELECT PAUL,ALBERT and GYNN 2016 . HELP THEM FINISH WHAT THEY STARTED.
Finish what they started??? You mean the unending hostility and nastiness??? Nothing like this was ever seen before these three.
#3 – nearly spit out my bourbon….Good job !
I hate any sign that I disagree with.
how about the dumb illegal signs on Clinton (that are actually on village property)
