courtesy of North Carolina's Fayetville Observer: Someone slashed the tires of at least 30 vehicles parked outside the Crown Coliseum on Sunday during a rally for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, authorities said. The tires were cut while people were inside the Crown Coliseum listening to speeches, said Maj E Wright of the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office... Sarah Revis, who lives on Wilkes Road, said the slashed tires left several women, including a single mother and a toddler, stranded and upset. At least four tow trucks were sent to move the vehicles from the Crown, Revis said. "This is an embarrassment to this city and to me as a citizen," Revis said. It would require a pretty extensive effort to slash the tires of more than 30 vehicles.
user-pic It would require a pretty extensive effort to slash the tires of more than 30 vehicles ------ Naw,it would require a well coordinated effort! No way would their actions have gone 'unnoticed' at a rally with Secret Service as well as local law enforcement. This is nothing but the dirty South tactics, where they can do things in broad daylight because the sheriff and his deputies are part of the sanctioning of it, if in no other way than to delineate which areas have the least officers, fewest cameras, or officers on patrol sequenced timing. This also speaks to why Palin's rallies need to stop and she needs to be charged with a felony. This woman has done nothing but be divisive and polarizing from the moment she stepped onto the stage in St Paul Mn While it is the role of the VP to be the attack dog. What she is suppose to attack are the political policies not the candidate's character. Palin is a polarizing figure she is inciting hate and creating the very atmosphere that leads to animosity and violence which is fueled by accepted hate spoken in public. Wallace did not throw a bomb nor shoot a gun but what he did was create an atmosphere of HATE. Palin is lighting a match to long held racial intolerance that was dormant and she is building it to a fever pitch. The irony is that she thinks that is 'patriotic' which just goes to show how completely UNAMERICAN she is. Powell was right about the GOP they have become an extremist party and virtual American Taliban type mentality has become their base.
McCain is still defending the "absolute truth" of his inflammatory BS robocalls suggesting Obama has a secret terrorist agenda, while he splutters umbrage re: the Lewis statement in the same breath. The chief seems to be doing more than his bit in the foment of the cro-magnons. Or do they really want a return to the rioting of the 60's?
fringe elements on both sides: A Washington state man pleaded guilty today to first-degree criminal damage to property, becoming the first felony conviction stemming from protest activities related to the Republican National Convention. Joseph Matthew Robinson, 26, admitted in court that he had slashed the tires on an AirBear charter bus for convention delegates at the Hilton Garden Hotel on 411 Minnesota St.
user-pic Although, I haven't heard any death threats at an Obama rally. Hell Obama doesn't even allow booing of McCain at his rallys. McCain should be taking notes from Obama about civilized discourse.
He spoke to us off-camera, saying his views could hurt his employers business ... but he says make no mistake: He doesn't want an African American running the country. Lunsford says he believes Barack Obama is not a "full blooded American." And he says the United States is a white, Christian nation - and only with white Christians should be in power.
Why the hell would you post an article containing: "PJM commenters react: "My advice is, go to WalMart and buy a gun. Regardless of who wins this election trouble is going to erupt, particularly in urban areas," "I expect the blacks to riot because of course they are all animals... Big mistake to attack me is all I can say," "If Obama loses, be preparded to defend this country from the radical left leaning liberal socialists... don't run away, run out and fight them and drop them where they stand," etc."
user-pic I think today is a very important day here in the TPM comments section. SFCWallace, who heretofore has kept his racism slightly under wraps (it may have seemed just an intense bigotry to those who gave him the benefit of the doubt-though many have already figured him out) has outed himself as a racist of the most obvious sort. I won't advocate banishment, since I don't believe in that sort of thing.
user-pic How many black and hispanic subordinates did Sarge oppress when they were under his command? And why is it that our military can produce both a Collin Powell AND SFC Wallace? Seems as if the Civil War is still being fought, and with so many southren "gents" in the upper echelons of the military machine, Sarge Legree should come as no surprise. It has flourished throughout the ages, especially in Washington DC, and in our Supreme Courts and in our US Military.
So because I go to a left wing rag to back up my story (which is required by you guys) and they print a comment from some other site when talking about the story, those comments are attributed to me?
But then I find these headlines: "Joe the Plumber Vetted More Thoroughly Than Obama" "Gore's Dangerous Call for Environmental Civil Disobedience" "Euro-Snobs Slight American Literature" "Obama's Meddling Undermines Future US-Iraq Relationship" You'll forgive my saying that this strikes me as a touch silly.
This will be news in NC, and its the kind of thing that energizes Obama supporters, pushes undecideds away from the Repubs, and just deflates any of the less enthusiastic McCain folks.
His rhetoric is tearing this country apart, and he is proud of it. If this carries on, his supporters will stage an American Krystallnacht against 'durned lib-ruls' and their socialist-terrist un-'merikun businesses.
I recall when our son was in elementary school, playing nightly board games with him at a certain point... Some parents apparently failed to teach certain lessons.
user-pic I personally hold McCain and Palin for these deplorable attacks. McCain's supporters(Anglo-Saxon, federalist, bigoted conservatives) are full aggression, hate and rage.

user-pic I knew we had North Carolina won when some halfwit stole the Obama '08 bumpersticker I had on my rear window a few weeks ago. Its just a mark of how furiously impotent they feel, and, like their candidate, they act out.
user-pic Btw, the genius who stole my sticker was apparently unaware that I had spares in my glove compartment. Unlike some of our fellow travellers here, I've been dealing with the kind of hilarious hijinks those irrepressible scamps in the Republican Party get up to in the last month of a campaign since I met my first Reagan Jugend, er, College Republican in the early eighties.
user-pic Fact is, there is a difference between vandalizing a political sign and vandalizing someone's motor vehicle. The latter is vastly more personal and, therefore, ugly.
user-pic How tolerant, loving, caring and compassionate to those who have views different than yours. They think freedom is good for those who only have their beliefs. Same goes for their bi-partisan claims, if you side with us and believe what we believe, you are bi-partisan. Good luck in the future getting anyone to want to join your party. Just keep reproducing, that is your only hope to get more voters...
user-pic I wouldn't be surprised to hear that all the tire stores in town are run by repugs and for some strange reason they have to special order those replacement tires at an additional cost.

user-pic I'd like to donate some funds to those people who have to buy new tires. There needs to be security set up in the parking lots to avoid further d...
