Barbara Comstock's people disrespect property rights
Posted by: Leesburg Today letter ()
Date: July 02, 2014 03:26PM

Dear Editor:

Barbara Comstock is only as good as her volunteers and they are terrible.
In the same day I received spam that I did not sign up to receive from Barbara Comstock in the guise of a forwarded email from a friend asking for a monetary donation, her volunteers canvassed Greenway Farms with their fliers. Were they respectful of people's properties? No!

They ran through their yards, threw the fliers in their bushes, kicked our drainage pipe into our driveway, and left the flier sitting in our aloe plant.
Barbara Comstock will not be getting my vote simply because the people she has chosen to work for her are a direct representation of who she is. If they do not respect the people she is to represent then neither does she.
Katherine, Leesburg

They went through my neighborhood and planted little American flags in front of every mailbox, with a note saying "Barbara Comstock for Congress." Our neighborhood has strict rules on political signage, and the flags with her name on them are political signage.

Since the covenants say no political signage is allowed until 10 days before an election, they broke the rules. They never asked permission from HOA or the property owners to do this, and they refused to come pick them up.

Many people immediately removed the flags from their yards and complained to the HOA about this intrusion onto private property and political trick. Others have not removed their flags, causing a literal political divide within the neighborhood. Thanks, Barbara.

If this is the campaign she is running, running roughshod over local rules and private property while hiding behind the American flag, then we must ask ourselves, "what type of member of congress do you think she will be?"

I removed the flag from my yard out of respect for the flag, and a few neighbors then asked why I wasn't supporting Ms. Comstock. I should have been put in a position to have to answer such questions.

She has the support of Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, the TeaParty, and Ken Coochinelli... pretty much sums it up for you. Vote as you will now.

I wouldn't base your vote strictly on that premise. I would base it on the fact that she associates herself with assholes.

I understand she is planning to be at South Riding's fireworks and parade Tomorrow evening (July 3) with David Ramadan.

The rules for electioneering at this event are A) no literature or stickers are to be handed out, B) no booths, and C) no signs are to be planted in the ground. Let's see how many rules she breaks tomorrow.

Brian needs to open his eyes, and use his brain.

The flag issue is a real issue here. The Comstock campaign never asked for permission to abuse private property. The Comstock campaign arrogantly felt they could do whatever they wanted, and there should be no recourse. Sorta like Scooter Libby leaking information to Time magazine.

So what? I broke the laws in order to discredit an opposer so we can go to war.
In the flag case, her campaign put political signage on private property without permission, and then hid behind the flag.

The ends justify the means.

LOL. "real issue" Yeah, it's a "real issue." Placing small flags in people's yards is the "real issue." You are probably the same type of idiot that sees nothing wrong with the Benghazi coverup, nothing wrong with Lois Lerner's creepy tactics, nothing wrong with Obama ignoring the law, but a few teenage kids planting front lawns with little American flags is the REAL ISSUE!!!! Yer freedoms are being violated!!!!!

Yes, planting little American flags in your yard is JUST LIKE leaking the identity of an alleged under cover operative. Your analogy is so spot on! On another note, ever been accused of being a bit overdramatic?

No they sure didn't. I didn't mind, but I did notice that my neighbor's have a little note on their flags, but mine didn't. The retards didn't even put it into the ground right so it fell over. I went out and fixed it and it's been up ever since. It's just a little American Flag, nothing unusal about it. I liked it so we've kept it.

So, what you are saying is the Comstock campaign disrespects the flag. I removed mine immediately so the wind and rain wouldn't cause it to fall over.

I thought the flag put people in a unique awkward position...it was flag day. I did not want to suggest I support comstock so I removed it from underneath my mailbox. But felt it was like a set up that republicans could accuse democrats of being unpatriotic for doing so. So I made sure my own flag was flying on my house. I do think it was underhanded to do that, especially since laws have been passed prohibiting signs except private property. The mailbox area is common right of way, just like the median of a road where it is banned.

American Flag Etiquette.


Federal law stipulates many aspects of American flag etiquette. The section of law dealing with American Flag etiquette is generally referred to as the "Flag Code."

Some general guidelines from the Flag Code answer many of the most common questions, such as:

The flag should be lighted at all times, either by sunlight or by an appropriate light source.

The flag should be flown in fair weather, unless the flag is designed for inclement weather use.

The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upside down only as a distress signal.

The flag should not be used for any decoration in general. Bunting of blue, white and red stripes is available for these purposes. The blue stripe of the bunting should be on the top.

The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use.

Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyard.

The flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform, except that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, fireman, policeman and members of patriotic organizations.

The flag should never have any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind placed on it, or attached to it.

The flag should never be used for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.

When the American flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object; it should be received by waiting hands and arms. To store the flag it should be folded neatly and ceremoniously.

The flag should be cleaned and mended when necessary.

When a flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner.

OK, so the American flag should never have any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind placed on it, or attached to it.
Also, Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff.

I'm younger than 80, so I didn't take it.

Bottom line is this - this is the kind of issue that nobody but a partisan complainer is going to think twice about. And it's only because it was from the campaign of the other side that is causing the complaining.

This is the kind of petulant LTE that nobody wants to see. The OP didn't do Foust any favors.

You know nothing about the course, but that didn't stop you from disparaging it. There are words to describe people who do exactly what you just did.

No, disrespecting the flag is an issue your side hammered Obama on in 2012 and 2008. You guys created the standard. We have every right to hold Republicans to the same standard they held Democrats to.

I googled it. Dale Carnegie died in 1955.

Nobody hammered Obama on disrespecting the flag. They gave him a hard time for not wearing a flag pin. And handing out complimentary flags on Flag Day is a far cry from "disrespecting the flag." Stop whining.

That's what this is - whining. It has no substance, and it doesn't matter. It's simply noise being generated for no reason. If you've got an issue with Barbara on something substantive, then criticize her for that. Not nonsense about fliers.

I didn't call anybody names, I simply described their behavior. It's whiny.

I don't need to send goons to do what I can do myself.

Again, the flag nonsense about Obama was just that - nonsense. It was dumb then, just like this nonsense about Barbara is dumb now. It's the sign of a weak campaign with no substance.

Criticizing Barbara for a Scooter Libby is also ridiculous. She was part of his defense team. Might as well criticize Hillary for representing a rapist. Both are poor criticisms. The others, at least the ones that make any sense, are kind of an odd pairing. You don't like the ultrasound bill, which is a liberal position, and you don't like the transportation bill, which is a Tea Party position. That sounds like a kitchen sink style Hail Mary attack. Desperate.

I don't give a s--- about signs.

If Comstock pushes back against the tyrants McAuliffe and Obama, I'm right with her!

And while we're at it, Democrats are most famous for STEALING signs.

Only if Secretary Clinton headed up a Rapists' Defense Fund.

You do not attach campaign propaganda to the flag period. She should know better and she has no monopoly over patriotism in her quest for power as a polician by passing out 20 cent flags.

Its in bad taste and offensive. Should everyone start stapling campaign messages to flags and littering the roadways and peoples private property in response?

Gerry, a piece of paper on the flag saying courtesy of her campaign is not attaching propaganda to the flag. Come on.

You guys need to be rational in your criticism. Otherwise you just look petty and nobody will take it seriously when you've got something legit.

Now I am thoroughly disgusted by your flippant response.

Scooter Libby. A professional dirty trickster who leaked classified information in order to destroy someone whose husband used diplomacy and education to try and stop us from getting into a 10 year, non winnable war that cost 4,500 American lives at a cost of a trillion dollars.

Go ahead and say "plenty of Democrats.." But, before you do, read what the Democrats actually signed. They made it clear they were voting based solely on what the White House and the President were telling them.

Why are you ignoring our dead troops, and whitewashing your party's responsibility, by trivializing the history of the Iraq War and Scooter Libby's part of that history?

Get out of the bubble Brian. You are sounding more myopic and misinformed every time you post here.

There's a cultural aspect to this with Republicans proclaiming that they are what true America is all about they claim patriotism over others. There is no basis in policy or accomplishment for this assertion and it's offensive.

Frankly, I don't need an obstructionist partisan that only represents the interests of a small percentage of the population giving me an American flag with her name on it. If she cared about this country and its people she'd be talking about income inequality, a balanced method of tackling the deficit and bipartisanship, no passing out our nations flag with nothing behind it.

Well said.

Brain also wrote here on Fairfax Underground in 2011; "Iraq did result in one major success – there is now a viable democracy in the heart of the middle east that does not support terror and is a US ally. Sounds like a victory to me."

So, under the current situation, were we right to go to war with Iraq, was it worth it?

Are you saying the good people of the 10th district are "misinformed" or "unaware" about what lead us up to the Iraq War?

The Iraq War is not a "success" now, and wasn't a success in 2011, as you claimed.

So, in three years are you going to be discounting and ignoring what you said today, like you discounted and equivocated the reasons for the Iraq War in 2011?

You were wrong then, you are wrong now.

The question is simple, Brian, was what Scooter Libby did, in leaking Plame's job at the CIA, in the best interest of the country? Or, was it political that cost 4,5000 lives and a trillion dollars?

I received one of those cheap "Made in China" flags with Barbara Comstock's courtesies on it and I simply threw the piece of shit in the trash. It was a flag until her attached propaganda tainted the honor of it.

When I found it, it was pouring down rain and the dipshits who placed it under my mailbox didn't secure it, so it was lying on the ground covered in mud.

What a poorly executed cheap stunt that was not allowed in South Riding to begin with. Did she think by putting it in front of people's houses that it would fool others that the entire neighborhood supports her?

Seriously? Is this a fucking high school election? Really, Barbara?

Barbara Comstock is a disrespectful and disingenuous candidate who should personally clean up the embarrassing mess she left behind.

You mock John Foust for caring for the hard working immigrants and their families. Yet those are the ones who will swing the votes his way.

A few flags in South Riding won't change anyone's mind.

Seriously, Brian? Seriously?

Didn't you go to law school? Did they NOT teach you logic in law school?

When trash blows into your yard, the result is a consequence of an act of nature-the wind.

Here we have results from humans decisions and actions. Are you not smart enough to see the difference?

No, when trash blows into my yard, it is the result of my neighbors putting their trash out in a bag that's not sealed. It's human action that started the chain.

Where is Liberal Logic when you need him?

Quit littering and trespassing on people's property. Since when is it ever ok to place political signage, gifts or otherwise, on someone's private property without their consent?

Given your background, please tell me that you understand election laws and torts.

Let me guess. You delivered the legal opinion to Comstock that this was actually ok?

"Liberal Logic?" You don't understand what "Logic" is. It must be nice to not be burdened with using thought processes and reasoning protocol handed down by philosophers for thousands of years.

Thank you for using "Logic" here.

I have an idea. I have a bench on my back porch. I am going to paint a sign on it reading "Compliments of Day Laborers," and place it on Brian's front lawn.

Brian can move it if he wants-not that hard.

What Republicans do shouldn't matter to you. Leave it alone. Don't care. Brian has already admitted you don't matter. If Republicans want to start a war, don't question it. It is going to happen,no matter what. If Republicans want to desecrate the American Flag, or run roughshod over your front lawn, please, don't care. Right Brian?

But, if Obama isn't wearing a flag pin, be outraged. And listen to WMAL.

The funny thing is that liberals will chain themselves to trees to "fight pollution" but put up as many signs as GOP politicians. They also put them on other peoples property without asking. The hypocrisy is great comedy for those of us on the sidelines.

Let's hear the legal rationale from Brian himself since he's a staunch defender of these campaign tactics.

He's a lawyer, so he must certainly know that this is illegal. We're not talking one flag here either. We're talking thousands. It's an egregious form of littering and not within the scope of compliant election laws.

Since when is it ever ok to place political signage, gifts or otherwise, on someone's private property without their consent?

Let's hear it and feel free to use citations when delivering your legal analysis.

Brian, there is a fundamental difference between dropping off a flyer at someone's house and putting a campaign sigh in their yard. The former is simply providing the resident with information about the candidate. The latter is using the resident's property to promote the candidate. You don't get a pass by saying it is no more work to dispose of one than the other.

That said it does seem our AntiBrian friend is going a little overboard. You got a free flag. There is nothing that says you have to use it to support Comstock. Hell, tape it to a Foust sign.

Bill, I agree with you. But we aren't talking about campaign signs. A flier left was enough to get the OP's LTE printed, and a small flag with a "courtesy of Barbara Comstock" label on the stick distributed in Flag Day was the second complaint

Neither of these are particularly hard to deal with. And they certainly don't reach the level that requires the kind of angst seen here.

I'm not sure if this was mentioned already, but placement of these signs certainly mislead the public that the recipient property owner supports Comstock.

Who signed off on this in Comstock's camp?

Does anyone know if the littering/damage/trespass/violation of election laws were done by David Ramadan and his helpers?

They aren't signs. They are flags with a note on them that's not visible to anybody but someone specifically looking at the flag. I've seen plenty of campaigns do the same thing. No different than the fans Chap Petersen is going to hand out tonight at July 4th in the city.

Anybody who considers this to be littering/damage/trespass/violation of elections laws needs to grab a beer and enjoy the holiday.

Would you want a flag of a cat shitting rainbows in your yard? How about several thousands of them in your neighborhood on a windy, rainy day?

I guess they're free, right?

Flag Day was a beautiful day in South Riding.

And I want a flag with a cat shitting rainbows. That would be awesome.

Wait, is Petersen damaging personal property? What about trespassing? If he does, I hope he wrongs any rights and isn't flippant about it.

Since when is it ever ok to place political signage, gifts or otherwise, on someone's private property without their consent? We are awaiting your in-depth legal opinion.

Should the Washington Post pick up this story and use your quotes here?

The Post isn't going to waste their time with this nonsense, but I'd be happy to reiterate my perspective for them, as I always do.

Trespassing in Virginia is only a crime if the trespasser has been barred from the premises, either by a sign or by the owner orally or in writing. And that's assuming that the flags were placed on private property.

Flags aren't political signage, either, even if they have a note explaining who provided the flag.

If you want my legal opinion, hire me and I'll be happy to write one for you.

Whats the difference between a sign and a note? There's no difference, a sign is a note. Many political signs also have the flag on them.

There is controversy, it is political, and the law is being toyed with. Of course David Ramadan is involved.

Barbara Comstock was able to disrespect peoples property rights, the nations flag, potentially the law and the voters all at once.

We have received flags under our mailbox in years past from realtors. I don't ever recall seeing complaints about that on FXU.

I love the flags and have problems with anyone resenting them. I think it is a sad reflection on the people on this board to complain about having an American flag placed on the curb--especially in recognition of Flag Day or Independence Day.
In my neighborhood, most people left them up--and I live in a Democratic neighborhood. I did notice that my Chinese neighbor took theirs down--I know they vote, so I don't understand why they would take it down as they must surely be American citizens.
You don't like Comstock, fine, don't vote for her. As for me, I do like her and I appreciate the flag.

Well there you go. You appreciate the flag. That shows that you're a tea bagger, so of course you like Comstock and her rich friends violating people's property.

I was taking my kids to the pool yesterday when I saw some houses had these plastic flags in their yards. The flags are sun bleached, dirty, and hanging low, touching the ground. To be fair, two of the houses with these flags out front have been empty for some time.

I thought having these worn out flags on the ground was disrespectful, so I asked a neighbor if we should find the owners, who are living somewhere else, and ask them if we can have the flags removed and properly destroyed. My neighbor told me these flags were planted in all the front yards by the Barbara Comstock campaign. I was shocked at the blatant pandering this looked like, and Googled it to make sure. I found this page.


I will call the Comstock campaign on Monday and ask if our local Cub Scout troop can pick these flags up,and shred and burn them at their next camp out. The flags are plastic, so I don't know how safe that is, but I will check with the Cub Master.

Dumb idea, Comstock campaign.

I was taking my girlfriend for an abortion yesterday when I saw some OBGYNs do not accept Medicaid. They had these hags in their clinics, wives of John Foust and Eric Holder. The hags are sun bleached, dirty, and hanging low, touching the ground. To be fair, two of the clinics housing these hags have been refusing service to poor people for some time.

I thought having these worn out hags rejecting Medicaid patients was disrespectful, so I asked a neighbor if we should find the owners, who are living somewhere else, and ask them if we can have the hags removed and properly destroyed. My neighbor told me these hags were planted in all the OBGYN clinics by the John Foust campaign. I was shocked at the blatant pandering this looked like, and Googled it to make sure.
