Rep. Scott’s office vandalized with four-foot swastika.

At a contentious town hall meeting last week, Rep. David Scott (D-GA) shot back at the protesters who were disrupting his event by accusing them of “hijack{ing}” the gathering. Now, Scott’s district office in Smyrna, GA, has been vandalized with a four-foot swastika painted onto his door. Fox News reported that Capitol Hill police will likely be launching an investigation immediately.

Just yesterday, Glenn Beck went off on a rant against Scott on his Fox News show:

BECK: Congressman, how many Americans…have called and called and called, only to be treated like swine?

You know what? I’m not sure, Congressman, if you are aware that not everybody has access to a brand new Gulfstream G550. I mean, it might be tough for the average Joe, who makes $129,000 less than you do to swing by the office for a meeting in Washington, D.C. We hope you understand and accept our offer instead to use a common alternative to private jets that are so much better for the environment called the telephone.

America, you call your congressman. You call just — the congressman that represents you. You call your senator right now. Is that — there is the House switchboard right there.

2. How stupid do you have to be to paint a Swastika on a black mans office?
Do these people even know who the nazis were?

4. Exactly! The beast they have created is getting out of control!
Glenn Beck, Limbaugh, Fox News are inciting riots and hinting at political violence. I think the authorities need to be brought. It's out of control.

6. When Do Dems Get To Learn?
My sentiment exactly! Do Democrats truly shut their eyes to the events happening around them? Do they not see that most of the hatred and anger is being fanned by the Faux Noise machines? Why can't they be strong enough to resist giving any more credibility to that despicable outfit called Faux Noise?

he thinks he gets a sympathetic ear on Fox - since he's fighting against this bill.
