MO man's sign against Democrats torched twice

[proud2BlibKansan]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A Missouri man who had the side of a semi-truck box trailer professionally painted with a sign assailing Democrats says he put the trailer in a cornfield along a busy highway because he wanted people to see it. The sign, next to U.S. 71 about an hour south of Kansas City, reads: "Are you a Producer or Parasite. Democrats - Party of the Parasites."

A lot of people have seen David Jungerman's sign, and someone clearly has not liked it. It's been torched twice, first on May 12, then about a week later. Then an empty farm house that Jungerman, 72, owns was also set on fire, The Kansas City Star reported.

"Things are getting a little out of hand out there," said Chief Deputy Justin Moreland of the Bates County Sheriff's Office.

Jungerman has posted a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest for the fires, which have left the sign harder to read and the trailer tires burnt to nothing.

Jungerman said he should have been more clear that he wasn't taking aim at local Democrats.

"They're more conservative than many Republicans," he said. "I should have put an ad in the paper to explain that. No, I meant the national Democrat parasite base that is sucking this country dry.

"The ones that just take from the government and not give anything back."

Jungerman says he's not even a die-hard Republican. He voted for Claire McCaskill when she won a U.S. Senate seat in 2006. He put the sign out to make a point.

It would not surprise me one bit if this dumbass torched his own sign.

17. He's a piece of work.

He pulled a gun on kids who were fishing on his property.

Yes I can believe he torched his own sign.

Turns out he is a farmer who is getting subsidies from the US Dept of Agriculture. But he thinks Democrats are parasites.

He also tells about suing the police who took his Rolex watch.

So he owns a Rolex, is receiving a farmer's welfare check and he thinks Democrats are parasites.

I can't condone arson but I can call this guy a hypocrite.
