They must have great security.

If I were going to put a series of rants of any kind on big signs
outside my business, I think I'd either learn to spell or hire someone
who can.

Sorry, but the frequency of misspellings on those signs (I saw three on
one sign) makes the owner look somewhat ridiculous, regardless of what
he's trying to say.

(And yes, I'd say exactly the same thing if he were on the other end of
the political spectrum.)

So, Because his spelling isn't perfect, He isn't entitled to an opinion?

Why are you implying that GB wrote something that he didn't write?

Is GB not entitled to the opinion that the owner looks ridiculous?

If
everyone that ever made a mistake in spelling were silenced there wouldn't
be many written words.

Amazing. How do you get from "misspellings ... makes the owner look
somewhat ridiculous" to "silenced"? It seems to me that when people
start complaining that they are being silenced and deprived of their
First Amendment rights, it's usually a reaction to someone else
expressing an opinion they didn't like!

I kind of liked some of his signs.
If one doesn't like the signs they can vote with their wallet, Very much
like some of us are doing with the Dixie Chicks.
