The hell they don't. Here's just one more damn example. And it's a doozy.
LITTLE BROTHER IS WATCHING reads a billboard atop a Massachusetts parking garage. There's a dark image of GWB on it. The billboard is owned by John Rosenthal who is also responsible for the message. Now, powerful Republicans are trying to force Rosenthal to remove the sign.
''It's censorship on the part of the Republican administration either here or in Washington that doesn't appreciate the humor or, frankly, having their tyrannical policies questioned," Rosenthal said. ''If that billboard said, 'Support Our Troops,' no one would be questioning it."
Rosenthal added, ''There's no agenda here, other than a public discussion."

Rosenthal is being ordered by the state Outdoor Advertising Board to remove the sign.

Technical rules forbid using the billboard to advertise businesses not located on the premises. But Rosenthal holds that a "public service" message should be allowed.
Now another well-known Rosenthal sign pertaining to gun control -- which has been allowed for 11 frigging years -- is being looked at by the state for possible removal.
This sucks from every direction, including violation of conservative principles. Barring profanity, obscenity, or size and height violations, any political message at all should be allowed on a person's property. Who do these bastards think they are? And how do they expect to get away with it?
Never mind, I know the answer to that last.
