Rash of Political Vandalism, Graffiti Reported (WP)
Source: The Washington POST

Republican leaders in Prince William County said more than two dozen homes and stores in Gainesville were spray-painted early yesterday with obscene messages about Republican Sen. John McCain, and some Montgomery County residents said they awoke to find their yard signs for Democratic Sen. Barack Obama defaced with a red "S" sticker placed over the "B" in his last name.

The overnight vandalism came a little more than a week before the Nov. 4 election -- a sign, some political observers say, that the passion and anger of the presidential race are boiling over, at least for a relative few.

In the Virginia Oaks subdivision in western Prince William, residents spent the morning painting over anti-McCain messages, which were scrawled in two-foot-tall, red and black letters, "so kids in the neighborhood don't have to see the foul language," said Conrad Holtslag, a Republican activist who lives in the neighborhood. The golf club's stone pillars were marred, he said, and on one home with a McCain-Palin yard sign, the double-garage doors were almost completely covered with the words "Hail Satan" and "See What Happens." ...

3. After briefly reviewing the evidence...
it appears that some fundie teens got stoned and decided to wreak a little mayhem.

5. Hmmm...so there was a mass outbreak of vandalism
last night by both sides, one hitting the Republicans and the other hitting the Democrats. I think not. Same group that did both of this, and from the looks of it, it doesn't look like liberals.

7. just like the b girl thing
"see what happens" "we're gonna teach you a lesson"

liberals don't talk this way. there is aggression and smug authority in this language.


when i heard the mccaint campaign describe the "thug" threatening b girl, I knew immediately it was a lie because they used the language I've heard Palin use at rallies "teach them a lesson".

Liberals and dems don't go around trying to teach other people jack shit, except for the verbal soft balls we throw the grunters, which are meant to enlighten them, not scare them.

they can't even lie right.

10. Notice that "Hail Satan" has an exponent?
It's written like Hail to the 666th power.

And this is clearly such bullshit, except it'll probably be harder to find the real culprits, the kids who dreamed this up in their little Fundie Youth Corps last week and thought that making Obama supporters seem like devil-worshipers would get out the Republican vote. Sad thing is, this'll probably work.

12. OMG ...
:rofl: what BS! This has the "B-Girl" stank written all over it. Some psychotic supporter of McSame probably thought that it would help to make it look like some "crazy Satan-lovin' Liberals" were behind this. However, I don't think that most of those homeowners were "in on it". I am pretty sure that this was a shock to them when they saw the vandalism.
