On Monday October 27 a large Barack Obama sign was with a racial vandalism. The sign was located on near County Road 222 and U.S. Highway 160. The sign was installed by Jeff Widen, a La Plata County Democratic Party volunteer, in Jill and Mike Somrak yard. Jeff said “A car drove by and someone yelled out the window 'No (racial epithet)!'" Jeff stopped and asked him self “did I hear what I think I just heard, in Durango, in 2008?’ And yes” Later on that night the sigh was vandalized with black spray paint black out the lettering spelling Obama’s name and a swastika was drawn on the sign. Mrs. Somrak hopes that the Democratic Party would replace the sign. "I can't help but feel there's going to be something good coming out of this negative thing. There are a lot of human beings who are intelligent and do respect each other's opinions, even if don't agree," she said.

No matter your political views what the person or persons did was wrong. You should respect the views of others and that includes not demonstrating your views and ideas in this way.
