The dems show us who really wears the Brown shirts in this country.... The current theme at the DU isn't how to win the election, but how they will fight the civil war when they lose...

"two separate shots were fired from a car sometime between 6:30 a.m. and 7:15 a.m. One shot shattered the glass in one front door and the other cracked the glass in another of the front doors.

There were no witnesses to the shooting."

Fired from a car, yet no witnessess...:confused: seems to me someones trying to rally the flagging troops.

Just a couple good ol boys having a little fun :) No harm, no foul.

the 2nd amendment does not give you the right to shoot out windows, it's the 1st amendent that gives you the right to shoot out windows  ( shooting out windows for political reasons is considered "free speach")

Vandals spray-paint crude anti-Bush messages on cars
04:46 PM PDT on Sunday, October 10, 2004


By ANTONIA GIEDWOYN, kgw.com Staff



First it was stolen signs, now political vandals are targeting cars.




Someone spray-painted cars in the Laurelhurst neighborhood with hateful anti-Bush messages.
Some residents in Portland’s Laurelhurst neighborhood woke up Sunday morning and found their cars had been spray-painted with crude anti-Bush messages, police said.


At least two cars were vandalized. Police said vandals strike during every election season, but the spray-painted cars count as some of the worst vandalism they’ve seen yet.


The crimes are being investigated, authorities said. They are urging anyone who saw anything suspicious in the Laurelhurst area Saturday night or early Sunday morning to call police.

sometimes people don't do what is best for them and have to be punished and intimidated into getting in line.

Democrats are younger.  It is easy to get the young worked up and manipulate them... they also allways look for an excuse to let off steam.

I won't place a Bush-Cheney bumper sticker on my truck.

I'm worried that some peace loving individual might spot it and vandalize the truck.

I didn't see where it gave any indication they were Republicans.  Give the history of Democratic violence, I'd say they were liberals.

Bush's campaign office in Spokane burglarized, vandalized
Monday, October 11, 2004 - Page updated at 07:57 P.M
By David Postman
Seattle Times chief political reporter
 
Offices that house President Bush's re-election campaign in Spokane were broken into and vandalized last night, the latest in a string of crimes at Republican offices across the country.
Workers arriving this morning found a hole smashed through the wall from an adjacent, vacant office. Bush campaign officials say a small amount of petty cash is missing and a computer and television had been moved and left near the hole.

"They must have gotten spooked because they ultimately left the computer and TV," said Bill Hyslop, the campaign's chairman for the Fifth Congressional District.

The computer and the TV had recently arrived in Spokane and the computer was loaded with information from the Republican get-out-the vote program.

Spokane police responded this morning and took the computer's monitor and the TV, Hyslop said.

"We obviously have no idea who did this and are not going to cast aspersions," said Hyslop, who served as U.S. attorney in Spokane under President George H.W. Bush.

In Bellevue last week, computers that stored the Republican get-out-the-vote database were stolen in a burglary at the Republican headquarters there. Bush campaign officials believe the break-ins are part of a broader attack on the president's re-election offices around the country, including a burglary in Canton, Ohio, last night, gun shots fired in West Virginia, Florida and Tennessee and union protestors storming offices in three Florida cities and Minneapolis.

There are no suspects in the burglaries or shootings and no injuries were reported.

Because the protests at campaign offices that were stormed were part of organized union demonstrations, Bush campaign chairman Marc Racicot wrote a letter today to AFL-CIO President John Sweeney asking him to call off any future protests.

"In addition to the injuries, property damage and disruption associated with these acts, these events have created a threatening and intimidating atmosphere abhorrent to our democratic process," Racicot wrote.

The Spokane building leased by the state Republican party and serves as the area office for party operations as well as the campaign for the President and other Republican candidates.
 
Hyslop said that a security guard checked the building at about 6 a.m. today and did not report any disturbance.

But when construction crews working on the adjacent office arrived within 30 minutes later, they noticed the back door of the adjacent office had been pried open from an alleyway.

They also discovered that a hole appeared to have been kicked through the drywall separating the vacant space from the Bush offices. The computer and TV were found near the hole.

so sandie... you think those people were lynched because they had kerrie bumper stickers and the murderers were Bush supporters?

Face it... Bush supporters don't riot over the outcome of a game (win or lose)  they don't loot and destroy property... in fact... they rarely, on a 10 to 1 basis probly at least, shout down the oppossition or attack them at rallies.   Republican rallies rarely turn violent unless it is because they are attacked...

One could say that the republicans are the modern ghandies of campaigns eh?

So you provided a link to a site justifiably criticizing lynching.  Lynching was a tactic used by the Ku Klux Klan.  What party has a senior senator who was a member of the Klan? Which party voted in a greater percentage on the landmark 1964 civil rights bill ?

Man Caught On Tape Removing Election Signs
Wake Deputies Arrest Edward Shook On Misdemeanor Larceny

UPDATED: 10:05 am EDT October 28, 2004

RALEIGH, N.C. -- A Wake County man says he caught a campaign sign stealer on tape.


Wake County deputies arrested Edward Shook for misdemeanor larceny after he was videotaped removing signs from a Raleigh man's yard.
 

Bill Moore, of north Raleigh, said his free speech was trampled when three different sets of Bush-Cheney signs were swiped from his yard in less than a week.

"I was a little upset that people were stealing other people's property," Moore said.

As a result, Moore and his friend, Brent Sullivan, took action. They staked out in the woods armed with a video camera. Within an hour, they caught 59-year-old Edward Shook ripping up signs.

The men gave chase as Shook drove off. With video proof and a license plate number, Wake County deputies arrested Shook for misdemeanor larceny.

"It's ridiculous," Shook said as he left the courthouse. "It's litter."

In the hotly contested election season, political passions are crossing the line. Thieves stole computers from a Bush office in Washington state. In Ohio, burglars did the same at Kerry headquarters. A hidden camera caught some men tearing down a Bush sign.

"Whether it's pro-Bush, pro-Kerry, pro-Nader, the fact of the matter is they can express what they want and they shouldn't have their property stolen or removed or damaged," Moore said.

After checking the law, Moore made a point to place his signs beyond the 10-foot easement on his property. Shook was released on $800 bond.
