The No on 933 campaign yesterday forwarded this message they found on Yahoo's property rights discussion group:

No on I-933 Signs

All you wonderful proprights folks:

If you see those lying I-933 signs, take them down. They are full of
lies and morally should not be up. If you don't want to do that, tell
me where they are and I will do it. Those people put those signs up in
clusters of five or six and they are full of those suggestive, lying
questions to put fear into people.

Edwina Johnston

I e-mailed Johnston to ask about the posting. She says she has not taken down any signs, though she says her signs for conservative Supreme Court candidates and Mike McGavick have been taken down.

"Our group does not believe in that activity. We believe in just getting the truth out and the truth will prevail."

She did not address directly why she suggested 933 supporters take down anti-933 signs.

"Our discussion group is a private group — not open to the public. If someone misrepresented themselves to be on our group, that does not give them the right to publish the private communications they find there and it does not give you the right to publish it either. Do you use a moral code?"

Johnson thinks my writing is "very leftist and biased against the right" and instead of picking on her, she said:

"You should write about how 'No on I-933' people have infiltrated our discussion group. They will stop at nothing."

The Yahoo groups can be read by anyone and all you need is a Yahoo sign-in to reply to a comment.
