Lawyer's Home Vandalized For Views On Religious Liberty
An Albuquerque lawyer .... Mikey Weinstein ... former counsel to President Ronald Reagan .... said having a swastika and crucifix painted on the front of his house Sunday was something different ...

Weinstein said he's had tires slashed, windows shot out, feces and dead animals thrown on his lawn, all connected to the battle his foundation is waging in court ...

"From Muslims, from Jews, from Christians, from Democrats and Republicans, independents, atheists, agnostics, and Wiccans, it has been overwhelming, and if there is any silver lining to having something this horrible happen, it's the fact that the community responded and responded so wonderfully," Weinstein said.

Weinstein first made headlines in 2005, when he filed suit against the United States Air Force. In the suit, Weinstein claimed that the Air Force imposed Evangelical Christianity on Academy cadets, in violation of their constitutional rights ....

1. Well, he's probably a Satanist.
After all, he hates Christianity so that he doesn't think the USAF ought to be spreading the gospel to cadets.

8. Not to mention
Mikey is a Jew also, so you know they are out to kill J.C.

Mikey has been making a lot of noise about things, (i.e truth) that people don't won't to hear. I am surprised that his home being vandalized is the worst thing to happen so far. But I wouldn't place bets on it being the last or the worst.

Mikey, is a real American.

3. WOW! that sounds familiar.
I didn't get the swastikas, but I certainly did get the crosses painted on my car and my house.

And some people still wonder why some Christians are considered pariahs. This is the kind of behavior that makes me want to stay as far from Christians as possible.

And people wonder why I distrust organized religion..Its crap like this...

5. You're all about the vandalism these days, S4P.
I think, though, it would probably be scarier having a bullet shot through your window that finding out someone threw a stone through your window.

Maybe it's just me.

9. I think the vandals are bullying shitheads. I do not care one way or the other what
philosophical noises such people might make: whatever they might say, it is just distracting noise. Arguing with such people is pointless: one should take an effective political stand against them
