8. Get over what? The article says that business cards were left with
pro-Hillary commentary.

I think it's pretty ridiculous to believe that anyone who supported Hillary is out tagging cars, but that's what was done.

I still think it was Mickey and DisneyGang,

11. Yeah, and there's absolutely no reason
to suspect their motives in doing that, right? I mean, it's not like a divided Democratic party helps the GOP, right?

3.  I knew a guy that used to vandalize communist party HQ in Berkeley
He didn't have anything against Communists. He just knew that if he got caught, there would be official sympathy, and he might not get booked, and do jail time.

He just wanted to destroy something.

These little rats just wanted to destroy something.

16. I don't think so
It's an awful lot of cars and a lot of preparation for it... they had business cards with anti-Obama and anti-McCain stuff. I think they wanted to make it look like disgruntled Democrat Hillary supporter, but I'm pretty sure this was a GOP operation. Ha! They're scared...

5. From another Source ......
ORLANDO, Fla. — Vandals spray-painted “Obama Smokes Crack” and other hate messages on 60 city vehicles parked across the street from City Hall in downtown Orlando.

Investigators said the vandals painted the messages — which appear to be politically motivated — after dark Saturday night.

Local 6 showed several vehicles covered in different colors with the “Obama” messages.

A passing motorist initially spotted the damage and called police.

“I'm driving by and every car I see has been hit with spray paint,” witness Mike Lowe said. “There is so much damage to them. There are messages written on them and the vandals left their business card, which is crazy.”

Special business cards left near the damaged vehicles contained negative messages about Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain. However, there were positive words about Sen. Hillary Clinton, Local 6’s Kimberly Houk reported.

"one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance"

What about that is confusing you?
The Florida bashing here makes me :puke:

10. Who funded that campaign? The FL GOP or the National GOP?
Edited on Sun Jun-29-08 12:54 PM by mrone2
They need to find where the paint came from and then question the paint-guy. My guess would be check at Sears or maybe Target. I doubt the vandals would be caught shopping at Wal-Mart or Family Dollar.

too corrupt, and too pro-development.

15. I won't go through any.
There's no point in putting a yard sign up in a yard that can't be seen or reached from the dead end of the private dirt road that the house is on.

I'm not much of a yard sign person, anyway.

Make it look like H rapid supporters against O and M. Of course M doesn't have to worry about giving a deep gash time to heal so his campaign couldn't really give 2 sh*ts about this. BUT, why not start ripping off the bandages and reopening the injuries of a healing democratic party. Let it fester a bit, maybe even start sticking some salt and gunpowder in the wound, eh?

Sounds like a plan to me.

Smells like a stinky rat fink trying to keep the Dem party all pissed off at one another and D.I.V.I.D.E.D.

RIGHT?? It won't work. United We Stand and we ain't got no time for this b.s.

just like I don't believe Clinton supporters had anything to do with this. Sounds more like young republicans who are too stupid to realize Clinton supporters are taxpayers and would not destroy something that they would have to pay to replace.

That picture -- that thing is pure art.

Mullet
Doo rag (flag doo rag at that - nothing like desecrating the American flag)
Portly kids ( nothing against any kid with a problem but come on, this is almost a freeper stereotype)
the box van and giant suv in the background
The spelling.



That's a keeper!! HAHA

26. Here's what's weird about this
The Clinton supporters who came up from Florida at RBC (who are by no means representative of most Clinton supporters) were downright hostile and exhibited such sheer hatred towards Obama that I could easily see some of them doing this. But they did not seem to hate McCain that much...the fact that they would add anti-McCain messages makes the whole thing suspicious.

28. Sounds Like A GOP Smear Special
I remember Karl Rove masterminding the John McCain has an illegtimate black child smear that has caused John McCain to be ashamed to appear in public with his adopted daughter. The vandalism is one thing, but printed business cards? Big Media, of course, will wet themselves pushing the theme of disunity.

29. It wasn't kids, it was Katherine Harris
And it wasn't spray paint, it was make-up.

Oh wait, I forgot she uses spray paint for make-up.
