Fla. vandals tag 60 cars with anti-Obama messages
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Police on Sunday were investigating vandals' spray-painting of dozens of city vehicles here, some with disparaging messages about the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

Authorities think the vandalism to about 60 vehicles, estimated at $10,000 in damage, was done Saturday afternoon, police spokeswoman Sgt. Barbara Jones said.

The vehicles were parked across from City Hall and investigators said culprits tagged messages including "Obama smokes crack" and a racial epithet.

They even left business cards on the vehicles that disparage both the Illinois senator and his rival, Republican John McCain. The cards voice support for Sen. Hillary Clinton, Obama's former opponent...

3. Repugnican Black Ops?
This stinks to high heaven of a 'Rovian' tactic (not saying Turd himself is involved, but he's had years to train his minions in the dark arts). The Hillary Clinton angle is what makes me especially suspicious, considering that I believe a number of so-called 'Clinton-support' sites are actually 'pug-sponsored operations.

4. So destroying someone else's property is what these fools are about, hey?
These folks must be in the 8th grade! How else could one explain this kind of cavemen behavior?

6. HCF.net says it must be Obama supporters trying to make them look bad.

10. Yes indeedy, Repub dirty tricks.

I don't think that Paul supporters are behind this at all. This smacks of Neocon/Repuke activity. Exactly the same sort of creeps who are masquerading as Clinton supporters trying to stir up trouble.

If history is any predictor of what is to come, and I think it is, these types of actions will escalate in the coming months.

12. AP title is misleading.
And are they going to write up every story of graffiti with the words "Obama smokes crack" as an Obama incident?

Would they or have they written stories of graffiti incidents in which a sentence with Clinton in the graffiti was used? Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? Actually it just makes them look really low to have to make Obama the issue of a little graffiti vandalism incident.

13. Ratfucking never ends.
GOP supporters are doing this, although it is possible that it's Ron Paul guys.
