Vandals in Orlando spray-paint cars with anti-Obama messages.»


Approximately 60 cars parked across from the Orlando city hall Saturday night were damaged by “politically-motivated” vandals. Some spray-painted notes with messages such as “Obama smokes crack” and racial epithets. “Business cards left on the cars disparage both Barack Obama and John McCain.” “I’m driving by and every car I see has been hit with spray paint,” witness Mike Lowe said. “There is so much damage to them. There is messages written on them and the vandals left their business card, which is crazy.”

2. some info left out from the TP story..from local news

"positive words about Clinton"

http://www.local6.com/news/16738523/detail.html
Special business cards left near the damaged vehicles contained negative messages about Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain. However, there were positive words about Sen. Hillary Clinton, Local 6's Kimberly Houk reported.

I really hope that's not what this was about. It also said "city vehicles" were the ones damaged

3. This is no surprise coming from Orlando. One of the only times

I have ever heard a stranger use the N word in front of me was in Orlando, from a guy working a tourism booth (private firm).

Obamabots did this vandalism. Hillary supporters support John McCain.

They would never disrespect Obama and McCain in the same breath. Besides, as has been said many times, Hillary supporters are all 'old', usually women... so a bunch of women with walkers spray-painted cars? Give me a break!

This is an Obama young 'uns stunt to blame PUMA!

The news is a disgrace. They're all a bunch of misleading evil people. Misleading headline maybe? One would think with a headline of "Vandals tag 60 cars with anti-Obama messages" that 60 cars would be tagged. I guess the orlando sentinel hire a bunch of uneducated journalists. Its either that or they are purposefully misleading their readers. Shame shame. No wonder I don't subscribe to your garbage.

I want to comment on Jane Healy's retirement, but nooo. We get to comment on crap like this! What are you afraid of...that folks might barbeque her **** on the way out the door. What a pathetic human being she was.If you ever met her in person, you would know how sad, lonely, angry and against everything she was. Her youth must have been brutal because her adult life has been all about getting back at the man! I should be happy that she's going to be almost totally gone soon, but it's probably more about budget cuts than ideology.

LOL! Riiiight. Conservatives and Republicans spend Saturday nights at the club talking down about people spray painting cars, dontchaknow?
Knowing the borderline sanity of those inhabiting the Obamination, this is as likely their own doing to generate sympathy of Hussein as anything else.
Just like the liberal democrat professor who got suspended recently for putting a noose on her own door and claiming she was being "intimidated for her race".
Or like the other liberal democrat professor who had her car painted with racist comments and claimed she was being persecuted, and it was later proven she had painted her own car herself.
Liberal love to claim "persecution", the problem is the rest of the country just won't cooperate.
Keep in mind the following: The KKK was wholely and completely a subsidiary of the democrat party.
The Republican party was born of the effort to free blacks from slavery. The forerunners of the democrats fought a war to prevent it.
Martin Luthor King was a REPUBLICAN.
The democrats mounted a huge effort to prevent the equal rights amendment. Efforts by Al Gore's father and KKK Grand Dragon Robert Byrd were foremost amongst those who wanted to keep blacks riding the back of the bus.
So really...take and that paint it on your car.

Anyone suspect that these were pro-Obama vandals trying to garner sympathy for their candidate of choice?

And no, I'm not a Republican.

The right-wing at their best; frustrated because their ideas and policies have been proven to be totally disastrous on the country are left with lashing out with spray paint on inanimate objects.

If Obama wins, the White House will never be the same, it will probably be painted purple. Plus it would need to be fumigated after he leaves, no one else would want to move in.

I would just look at who benefits from this in the end?

Hillary - no - unless this truly is an angry Hillary supporter group going wild, she gets hurt with something like this. Keep in mind - she has not given her delegates to obama - she can still reenter - and needs to court the Dem power guys back to her side, which is what she is doing.

McCain - absolutely not. Racist points will not be good for the Repubs - they have been avoiding the racist card 100%- not even allowing obama to draw them in last week with his bringing in the race card in his speech.

Obama - actually - yes. His group does benefit. It makes it look like he is being picked on. And forces the Republicans to continue to pull back on any aggressive attack on any point for a few days (they won't ever do race), and it forces Hillary to come out and lecture her own supporters (keeping her where he wants her). I see this as simply another diversion tactic to allow the race card to be introduced, just as the Rev Wright rantings that obama kept an "arms length distance from" but never really condemned. Let someone else bring it into play - and then ride along with it.
