Anti-Biden sign with curse word along highway near Baraboo draws attention, complaints

A sign put up by a Baraboo man who said he wants to draw attention to the country “going in the wrong direction” garnered some complaints to local officials shortly after it was put up.

Though the roughly 4-foot-by-5-foot placard specifically refers to current U.S. President Joe Biden, property owner Craig Hoppe said it was aimed to criticize leadership, not as a partisan attack, which he said he suspects is part of the reason for the opposition.

Callers to the News Republic last week complained about the language on the sign, pointing out that there is a church nearby and the curse word was highly visible to everyone who passes by the property.

“It’s not political, it’s purely American,” Hoppe said Wednesday as he attached small U.S. flags to the sign, covering a letter to slightly censor the curse word aimed at Biden and in smaller type, a sentence that referenced people who voted for Biden. Hoppe said he realized it wasn’t appropriate for area children who might see it.

There’s another one like that on Hy 51 that likes big signage. But That County was a blue county until gerrymandering.
