"Kerry is the atheist and Bush is the Christian" Does this come from someone who listens to " Hate " radio, Brownwood style ?

Zoe Vilicic keeps getting her freedom of speech stolen.
In the last two weeks Mrs. Vilicic, a stay-at-home mom in Far North Dallas, has posted three signs supporting John Kerry and John Edwards in front of her two-story brick home. All three have disappeared.
After the first was snatched, Mrs. Vilicic promptly replaced the sign and added two: "Thou Shalt Not Steal" and "We have a Constitutional right to put up a candidate sign! Please stop stealing."
They didn't work. Someone stole the signs, only to return the homemade signs two days later.
"I thought someone's mother had made them put it back," she said.
Mrs. Vilicic was pleasantly surprised that the thief even replanted the signs in the yard. Then she saw the messages on the backs.
On the back of Mrs. Vilicic's "Thou Shalt Not Steal" sign, the culprit wrote, "No, you got it backwards. Kerry is the atheist and Bush is the Christian."
On the back of the sign Mrs. Vilicic made proclaiming her constitutional rights, the thief wrote, "Kerry supporters have the rights that I allow you to have, and I will allow you the right to put up a sign that says Kerry is a [expletive]."
Her third Kerry-Edwards sign was never returned.
Dallas police have not found the thief, who scribbles in bold green marker. They said it would be difficult to catch the suspect unless he or she is caught returning to Mrs. Vilicic's yard.
"If they didn't agree with my opinions, I'd be happy to invite them in for coffee and a discussion," said Mrs. Vilicic, who recently moved to Texas from Maryland. "Our friends are Republicans, Democrats, libertarians and Greens."
Mrs. Vilicic remains undaunted. On Friday, she planted her fourth Kerry-Edwards sign inside her roundabout driveway – next to her freshly spray-painted "Thou Shalt Not Steal" sign.
