I do not approve of such actions, though I fully understand the emotions underlying them.
On a related note, I note with some encouragement that of late in metropolitan San Diego (and on the freeways), Obama stickers are far less in evidence now than they were a year ago. Last January I noted that Obama stickers outnumbered Bush plus McCain stickers by something like four to one. These days I think it may actually be true that Bush stickers (haven't seen a McCain sticker for a while) outnumber Obama stickers. There are many cars showing the evidence of sloppily removed stickers. I see many more cars with “Miss me yet?” stickers and “Don't Tread On Me” flags. And in lunch break conversations, I haven't heard anybody who is happy with Obama for a couple of months now.
I have this fantasy that a couple of years from now we're going to look back at November 2010 as “The Great Comeuppance”. Lordy, I hope that comes to pass...
