John Toplikar Caught Stealing Signs

[3soccerstars]

Christians, for the most part, are hypocrites.

Jesus, if alive today, would be a socialist in the biggest of ways.

[Univer3eTwist3ers]

thumbs up id u saw this on worlds dumbest

[NickiKawaii]

@Univer3eTwist3ers I did! Ha ha it was funny.

[Tonyable1]

LOL at the fucking ringtone xD

[metersocket00]

are you a boy or girl ps nice ring tone

[shadowtriber666]

John Toplikar made it to the Smoking Gun Worlds Dumbest! Thank girl ;D

[Terrimina67]

What makes this guy really dumb is that he stole them in BROAD DAYLIGHT.

[davidlee110]

@Terrimina67 idk but Cops are dumber then dumbest government.

LOL!

[ldksparda]

Was this guy democrat or republican?

[shadowtriber666]

@ldksparda republican

[ldksparda]

@shadowtriber666 LMAO thank you. :D

[PiNkTwInKle95]

Is this the original video?

[ssssmitty]

LOL - he didn't act alone but it's funny that he was the one that got caught. I know of someone else in Johnson County that said and I quote..."I'm in charge of stealing the other guy's signs and was a Toplikar supporter. This was about 2 months before the incident.

[freedog19]

I voted for Hayden because of this. If Toplikar wasn't a moron he would've won like the other guys did by at least 20%. It is kinda weird because I saw this guy(yes Toplikar himself) out putting up his own signs at 5:30 in the morning, at more than one time. Thought he was a good guy. 8(

[MasterCheif248]

948dunvegan brings up a good point and I should apologize for my comments about idiots on the west side supporting Toplikar. Looks like crazies in Alaska have no problem re-electing a Senator who has multiple felony convictions! Still, ya gotta scratch your head and wonder how so many still felt compelled to support Toplikar! I heard some church outfit got together last week and prayed over him, so I guess he's absolved! Now the re-count. GO HAYDEN!

[jkchoreography]

I am so glad Hayden won! We need someone that ACTUALLY listens to the people and WORKS for the people. John Toplikar is a joke for a politican. I cannot BELIEVE that Olathe had that may people vote for the man again, those people must not have tv's to watch the news. Live, Late Breaking, and Investiagtive..... Toplikar caught stealing signs!!!!!!!!!!!!! lmao

[948dunvegan]

Current results show him losing, not winning. Not by much, but local news this morning says Toplikar lost. Maybe we're not quite the idiots you thought, eh?

[MasterCheif248]

Well, tonite the idiots on the west side of Olathe, KS made their choice for the sign stealer! Unbelievable what the Republicans in Johnson County KS are capable of!!!! They're the laughing stock of the nation and they don't even have the sense to recognize it!  Hope the commission puts him in charge of collecting ALL the left over campaign signs littering the county! He's good at something!

[XhimoX]

More like John Bottomlicker

[spncr525]

haha in a read shirt too

[slownoman]

typical fascist thuggery. what ever happened to the party of Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt?

[bigstabby]

hey now, c'mon people. he wasn't stealing signs...merely relocating them...to the bonfire!lol no but in all seriousness, yeah, what an asshole.

[ronjon9]

this dude doesn't even have his own website. he is the exact opposite of a good politician. lying, deceitful, and unthruthful. he is extremely lazy in office and only wants to keep his job because he doesn't want to go out into a real working environment and get a working job. his opponent is a great candidate with great values and if the citizens of olathe still vote for toplikar because of all the signs he has around town, i am truly sorry for those assholes.

[wizart49]

in daylight he is dumb

[scalliwagrx8]

What is it with republicans and sign stealing? They run scams to jam phone banks. They are not really interested in democracy

[marshacarolyn]

Disgraceful....This sh*t right here. Caught red handed..Damn shame.

[marshacarolyn]

Thief...Dishonest...Untrustwor­thy...Unethical...Crimminal...­No better than your average bank robber, street hustler, rapist, embezzler...etc.etc.etc.

[kidd2k1]

What a piece of work this asshole is.

[dontcallmedan]

I lived there for years. The politics of Johnson County makes my skin crawl. I discovered Douglas County--the last blue county for over 600 miles when heading west! Is there a boot camp for sleaze that is required for the republicans?

[billthebutcher2]

That is a sad and childish thing to do. Why be so stupid and go steal those signs? He had nothing to gain by it.

[upbrakie]

I live in Kansas, but not in JoCo. I have no allegiance to either candidate. But can any of you, honestly say that you support a candidate that does something as childish as stealing an opponents yard signs? Setup or not, he chose to break the law. He deserves what he gets.

[kcwillie87]

biscutshoe16- Check your facts before you speak. It is noted in several publications and the police report it was not Mrs. Hayden filming, it was actually a Hayden campaign worker.

[catluvspeaches]

whatever!

pretty sad when americans only have two friggen parties to choose from. At least we have 6.

[marshacarolyn]

Well, if you think having just two are bad, then, I KNOW 6 would be a natural hot azz messs. (with respect, of course)

[Musicians4Obama]

A close election again??? Find out what this means at Musicians4Obama! Pass it on!

[UTBESUX]

Must be a Republican!

[buenosdiers]

of course. they sold the words decency and honor a long long time ago.

[WashMitt]

what a thief

[RedneckResponder]

When on re-con turn the phone to vibrate.

[Richardgwm]

Has anyone's vote ever been swayed by a yard sign? If so, Ron Paul would be our President. And Coca Cola would be our Vice President.

[Stossburg]

Haaaaa!

[SharkDude1]

Looks like a 'Set up' to me. Was that his house/property where the signs where placed? How convienet that a person just happened to be hideing in a bush near by with a camcoder. Total set up!!

[kac56]

How was it a set-up? Did someone force him to break the law and make a fool of himself?

Looks like a public road/hwy to me...Not private property. Someone from the area can correct me if I'm wrong.

[RedneckResponder]

If it's a public right of way then most towns forbid anyone from puting a sign up with out a permit. Both partys are probably breaking the law.

[bhugh]

It's a setup all right.

His opponents have been putting up signs for years and he's been stealing them for years.

If **only** they hadn't kept putting out those signs, when everyone **knew** he had a weakness for stealing them.

It's entrapment plain and simple!

And of course Toplikar is **completely** innocent.

In fact, all his opponents should be thrown in jail for putting out the signs that tempted him to steal . . .

[JPMartin5]

That's the most ludicrous load of shit I've ever heard... unless you're kidding.

[petefc]

Reality has a liberal bias

[majortom321]

lol

[MasterCheif248]

For those who don't know, this took place in Olathe, KS (Johnson County) between two Republicans running against each other in a non partisan commission race. The sign stealer (Toplikar) is a big right to life social conservative which is about all it takes to get elected to anything in that place. Why is it that it's always the social conservatives who lie, cheat and break the law? Do they think they can because God is on their side? The GOP peeps in that county are NUTS!!!!!

[sweetfatman]

Comedy gold.

[sarahjocakes]

The lady videotaping is a friend of Topliker's opponent (Hayden). She was videotaping him from her car. What had happened was several days ago, Hayden's wife and this lady saw Topliker stealing signs, they called the police but the police said they couldn't do anything without proof. So they caught the dumb asshole doing it again, on tape this time. Guy's got class doing it himself. Loser.

[biscutshoe16]

The lady videotaping is actually Kelly Hayden, wife of Calvin Hayden (Toplikar's opponent). The Hayden's live very close to me and are very nice people, generally, although the Mrs. is definitely not someone I would want to piss off ever!

[kac56]

Not too smart Mr. Toplikar...

btw, out of curiosity, what state is this?

[kittenkate]

Kansas. It's pretty ballsy considering that this is very near where they're holding early voting. lol! (BTW, I live in Olathe). Definitely won't be voting for Toplikar.

[janddane]

As long as another Republican ends up in jail, it's all to the good.

[cdw86]

I agree 100%

[wakeNbakePIZZA]

@janddane and as long as another socailist obama loving dip shit like yourself gets killed, its great day

[bil56]

The guy is stealing little signs. He will be slapped on the wrist! Tell him to go steal the bigger signs which costs more and will draw a felony charge instead!

[miamikid08sdad]

Kid you are a large creep. you are crepin in a bush in kansas wit a pop.(ledge spelling) of 50-51 people. btw sweet ringtonen Nice narration two, but it didnt better the one star rating sorry.

[PA2FLA]

Lol! The phone started ringing

[dogfart64]

John Toplikar, the man the Kansas City Star calls the worst elected official in Johnson County, KS, is so busted! Sadly, it probably won't make any difference to the social conservatives who support him.

[Fiorucci79]

As the old saying goes: "If you want something done right...Do it yourself"...*sigh*...

[Wichita1953]

A Republican stealing from another Republican. There's karma for you.

He SHOULD be charged for theft and the other guys wife should be charged for the shakiest camera ever and being completely thrilled about theft.

[SoCalBrowns]

Why is this lady in the bushes?

Has this guy done this before and she was waiting to catch him?

[parentofone]

Yep. The police told her to go out and get some evidence, so she did.

[kcskateking]

what a asshole

[t183183]

This should be a felony, no matter who is doing it - it's stealing someone else's constitutional rights (free speech).

[stuntcat666]

hehe busted!

[micki001]

I love all the deflection. Candidate removes opponent's signs, opponent's team observes and videotapes it, candidate gets cited, candidate loses election for misdemeanor theft.

Look at the resignation in his body language after the cops start talking with him. He knows he broke the law.

And the United States is a nation of laws.

Sounds to me like the candidate himself showed us his true colors. No one but himself to blame for his actions.

[Uphold1776]

Also, I'd like to know why Mr. Hayden is so proud to be a Freemason. He claims he attends the Lenexa Masonic Lodge. Last time I checked the masonic lodges have been under fire for their extremely secretive nature. I want to hear Mr. Toplikar ask him questions about that. How can Mr. Hayden profess a open government, contact with the citizens, and telling the truth, when he participates in an organization that doesn't adhere to those standards.

[kcwildcat1]

The Freemasons is a private organization. The definition of freedom is the freedom to have privacy. Unless there is sufficient evidence for the authorities to investigate a private organization, then it has every right to be private. Comments like what was made here are scary because it implies a need for an intrusive government. Check your history book......that's what the Revolutionary War was all about.

[Uphold1776]

Well for one, lets acknowledge that fotorags is making good points. I mean the Commissioner's wife or the campaign worker seem to be gleeful excited that John is stealing signs. That's almost as pathetic. Plus the fact that Mr. Hayden is posting that on his site including the profanities is also alarming.

But why did you have to do that John, I know you probably feel guilty and everything. But you know with an election cycle, you wouldn't want people doing that to you.

[parentofone]

Fotorags is NOT making good points. The "narrator" is gleeful because she is getting the evidence of election fraud and theft that she needs. She's in favor of her candidate, sure, but she's capturing on video the evidence of sign theft. Why souldn't she be happy--she's succeeding at something difficult. It's a Ted Stevens Moment.

[LanceTWeber]

Amazing. I know nothing about either of these candidates, but I hope that this bit ensures Toplikar's defeat. Americans need less deception by their elected officials, not more.

[nwbearcat]

Fotorags...he got caught...plain and simple.

[w00lyb00ger]

Apparently Fotorags thinks it's okay for politicians he supports to engage in an unethical activity. That's what it all boils down to. If the other guy did it he probably would have been outraged. He got caught red handed. There's no mistake as to who it was and what he was doing. Stupid move on his part. If I lived in Johnson County I'd vote for the other guy just based on the fact that this man is dishonest and obviously didn't feel he could win on merit alone.

[fotorags]

What I see & hear in this video is a potty-mouth Hayden supporter playing Gonzo journalist. At 1:11 you can hear what sounds like "come on" followed by a clearly enunciated "you son-of-a-..." At 1:29, she says another expletive, and at 1:37 she seems to say "he's taking yours and moving 'em." Who do you think she's talking to? Does she do a lot of videotaping from behind bushes near the JoCo election office? Sounds like a setup to me. Is this the "Servant Leadership" that Hayden professes?

[chrisanne228]

How did someone make him go remove the signs?? Looked like he was waiting for cars to clear to take them. Set up my ass. The guy is an immature idiot.

[fotorags]

Are you the potty-mouth narrator in the video?

[DorofromKs]

Swell.
