This sign was destroyed and signs are being ripped up for Sennett and other candidates all over the county. I'm not blaming anyone for it but I know Holley Carnright's supporters would not do this. If nothing else Carnright like Sennett, is running his campaign with class. I know Vince, it's hard to see so many signs popping up for Sennett in Kingston and throughout Ulster County, but for every sign knocked down three more are going up. This sign has been replaced and I would hope that we can all act like adults and not vandalize someone elses sign on their own private property.

Blaber, you are such a shallow jerk. You are accusing Bradley for this. Maybe it is someone who just hates Sennett. Give it a break.
I didn't accuse anyone.
You don't even realize when you accuse. Holly has class and Bradley does not according to you. You are so one sided it is rediculous.
I'm really starting to believe that Sennett is secretly paying Tuchman. Doesn't that dim wit cigar clerk realize the damage he does every time he opens his mouth?
Bruce, if you want to help your friend's son, shut up.
It's pretty obvious who the bad guys are. Bradley's supporters are completely devoid of ethics,not to mention education.(The Kingston schools are in need of serious work!) They think that they can muzzle the best candidate by destroying his signs and costing him money. It just backfires on them like a Karl Rove tactic. Everyone who sees a destroyed sign simply gets more supportive in empathy. There's a small line on the bottom of my legislators' sign that is a web address that links to Stuart Fraser. I'm not letting ANY prospective voter assume that I condone him. Duct tape solves that very easily. I only support democrats.
Do we have evidence it was Bradley supporters? Granted, they tend not to be the brightest folks in the world, but the allegation you are making is that criminal activity took place on behalf of the campaign.
Perhaps the police and Don Williams should investigate.
Blaber your a fat mother fucking asshole - I like to punch your fat little ass out - I'll tell you what - your fucking DONE in this town - You will never be elected to anything !!! you will always be the water BOY
I have had quite a few signs stolen as well.
Not only are signs destroyed but I have heard that lawn signs have wound up in town landfills.
Shame, shame to all those who are participating in such "tom foolery".
Do you people realize where this sign is? This sign was the one one Broadway, just below the Stewarts. UCP had it on his blog for Gilpatic going both ways with Sennet and Bradley. Not for nothing, but anybody could have done this. And yes you did accuse. Don't be so quick to.
Don't you people have names?
Big talk from Anonymous.
7:57 PM :
I'm shaking.
Jeremy-You have an obligation to alert the authorities about 7:57. Your LOCAL authorities. Federal and state may wait until after this idiot acts. Take the threat of being finished in politics as badge of honor. I heard that 23 years ago, the chips are still falling in my favor. I have the patience to strike when the iron is hot,even when it takes decades.
Your Blog has taken the tone of a schoolyard.
You seem to have allowed once provocative,informative discussion to deteriorate into baseless accusations, juvenile name calling, and meaningless cyber threats. What happened?
Let's remember that we are talking lawn signs here not some high crime against someone's property. With everything else going on in this community, speculating about who destroyed a lawn sign serves no purpose. Perhaps it was someone who couldn't read and didn't like the colors of the sign. Perhaps it was merely some young and upcoming delinquent who was bored and wanted to destroy something. No reason to read some complicated motive into something that is propbabbly as simple as someone acting stupid.
Sounds like you struck a nerve.
hey 7:57 - If you're going to make threats, could you at least be somewhat literate? You're what is known as an "ignoranus" - a stupid asshole.
"...your a fat mother fucking asshole...your fucking DONE in this town..."
It's YOU'RE, not YOUR - go get your GED and then write back when you've passed. You write like Ira Fusfeld - if you've ever read his blog, it's fraught with errors - it's not a surprise that he's a Bradley supporter.
to 7:08
is there any guarantee that the Second Coming will be a Democrat? What if He is a Republican? Support the PERSON not the PARTY!
It may appear on the outside, Sennett opponents are running scared, but on the INSIDE, it is the Sennett supporters who are running scared. Evident by the amount of time and energy spent here besmirching Bradley, and making news over some senatorial endorsements that most DAs around the state do not bother to chase after. If the Sennett supporters felt comfortable, they'd be touting their candidate's record. Instead, it is all about what a bad guy Bradley is.
If JOn used HEMP sogns, they would have held up better..
Trojan Horse
Now we know, Chuck Norris in his anti-american,anti-secular rage delivered a powerful roundhouse to our founding fathers' choice for DA! Watch out! He's kickin' down signs everywhere.
Here is a new one....
...Replacing Sennett signs with bratley signs. Yes, it has happened folks.
...and I for one who had the Sennett signs installed myself do not appreciate it one bit.
How did it happen? First, I installed Sennett signs at my place. ...two days later they are hi-jacked. ...two days after that I installed new ones...two days later they are hi-jacked again and replaced with Bratley signs!
LEAVE THE SIGNS ALONE!!!!
Well, 1:52 has apparently been smoking something. Maybe green plastic?
I was at the DA debate in saugerties tonight. Bradley did a fine job explaining his background and positions on law and running the DA's office. He is very imtelligent and I think he will do a great job of getting to the bottom of the jail fiasco. Sennett talks a good game but was way too aggressive and sarcastic. He is a little too much like a typical ambulance chaser. Carnright did a fine job and I think may be a good attorney but may not have what it takes to run the DA's office. I would like Carnright over Sennett. I still don't see what Sennett's supporters see in him. Way too slick to be the county DA. It just does not feel right. Just my opinion.
Hmm slick is a phrase used often by conservative minds that can't process information quickly enough. Remember "slick willy" did the best job of any president in recent history. Fear of change is evident in Roger's comment and it's pretty clear he's a republican anyway. Too "aggressive and sarcastic" indicates femininity. Should that be Rogette?
12:07am said: Way too slick to be the county DA. It just does not feel right. Just my opinion.
The position of District Attorney is not one that you want a person to learn over time. Jon Sennett may be slick but in a good way - I prefer to use the word polished. He has the experience [from one of the toughest Counties in the whole state]. Simply put, Bradley does not. He lacks the experience and is not preparred to be DA [as Bradley always calls it].
Oh and another reason why I am voting for him? Sennett is very approachable and a listener. Bradley, in my experience [personal and through public forums], is not. He appears to be in a rush and seems distracted when people are talking to him. Odd qualitys for an attorney and qualitys that will not work for the position of District Attorney.
Roger, you couldn't have been at the same debate as I was. The only thing Bradley could do was talk about the jail - even if the question wasn't about the jail, he turned it around so that it was. Bradley stood up there and repeatedly said "I'm the only one up here who...."; it was quite annoying. He still hasn't told us what violent felony cases he's prosecuted. And, why does he brag about Guy Vellela? He should hang his head in shame - after 18 months, Vellela pleaded guilty to one count of a 25-count indictment - a Class E (lowest) Felony. I thought you should only indict things that you think you can win (Bradley's words). Bradley is too arrogant and inexperienced for Ulster County; Spitzer, Schumer and Clinton know that, why don't you?
"Roger"
You're out of your mind, I was too at the debate and Sennett was a strong confident speaker and the hands down winner. The other two looked like chopped ham compared to Sennett. No oine could be at that debate and say Sennett lost. Expet Kathy Thomas,his aunt, Linda, his girlfriend, Nan Potter, his campaign manager...get the point.
It is all wrong! Signs get stolen and busted all the time. I have had to fix my large sign twice and last election I had a 4'x6' stolen. They must have used a truck to haul it away. Candidates should run on their merits not on trying to demolish each others signs with the hopes of winning. We are supposed to be here "for the people".....
Cris, I don't think the candidates themselves are demoloshing signs. It's rabid supporters who are. If you read this blog regularly, you will see the ones foaming at the mouths (on ALL sides), who desparately need stomach injections of chill.
The big ones make excellent ramps for skateboarders.
To all of you:
Well to the scum bag threatening Jeremy. Who are you? I'd like to catch u in the street, or face to face for that fact and see if you were still singing the same tune, or like Bradley and Carnright will studder and look away when confronted with questions about what you said.
You are a sad sad story, and a sorry example of the psychopaths involved in politics.
Vote for who you want.
It was Bradley people who are taking the signs down.
No one supporting Sennett is scared, we're all just completely takin back by the childish elementary level of politics that Bradley is playing by.
I am sorry, there is no reason to send your little henchmen out to knock signs down all day and night...
not to mention Carnright has a job and probably sleeps at night... Bradley on the other hand, with his one hour a week job has plenty of time to be out in the late dark hours knocking down signs like hes a teenager knocking over mailboxes.
We're still voting for Sennett, all of us.
Bradley has nothing,
And Carnright is too much of a stickler to change anything ever.
I dont see Carnright out doing some bs like that, only Bradley would do that... I bet he wears his Spongbob squarepants outfit when he goes sign tipping.
All of you who think that this behavior is acceptable or that we're "over reacting" well honestly after what mister Anonymous said you can all kiss my ass.
If it was a kid knocking your mail box down you would be the first people pressing charges and dont you dare act like you wouldnt be.
No one "just hates sennett" thats an idiotic thing to say.
Bradley you disgust me in a million ways, and so do all of your supporters, even though 90% of them are your family and have to.
Stop touching the sennett Signs, and stop acting like your so tough U Jeremy Blaber Nazi. You are a disgrace and trust me you are scaring no one.
Post something with your name, and then we'll talk u bitch ass.
Signs Signs everywhere the signs blocking out the scenery wasting my time. Do this don't do that, can't you read the signs?
Political signs suck and should be banned by local, state and federal ordinances.
There are proper ways to advertise, that being in traditional advertising mediums. If one candidate chooses outdoor advertising, there are plenty of eye-sore billboards to rent.
Until that glorious day, when campaign signs are banned, stop whining about the signs being taken.
Dr. Phil
In my opinion, political signs are just another form of litter. People do have a right to place them on their own property with a reasonable expectation they will not be stolen or vandalized. This however is the real world. It not only happens with political signs but Halloween and Christmas decorations. They have been made part of "scavenger hunts" etc.. I believe most of the thefts are done by people who could care less about politics and the only party that interests them is the weekend beer party. Remember, signs don't vote. This will all be forgotten after the election.
Hey, does anybody know when Sennett last voted in a Democratic primary? Just curious
That sign on lower broadway was is in a bad spot. I can see how someone might lose control of their car and take it out on that sharp corner.
9:15 check the mayor's jeep to see if there is any red, white or blue paint on it.
As DA, Bradley will seek indictments for anyone caught messing with his signs. Bradley....tough on sign crime.
Bradley...putting the DA in DADDY.
