ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- The Orlando Police Department found dozens of city owned vehicles vandalized Saturday.

The vandal or vandals appear to have political intentions; most of the vehicles were spray painted with anti Obama sayings, with ‘Obama’ misspelled several times. Some of their vehicles had their gas caps removed.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Vandals spray-painted “Obama Smokes Crack” and other hate messages on 60 city vehicles parked across the street from City Hall in downtown Orlando.

Investigators said the vandals painted the messages — which appear to be politically motivated — after dark Saturday night.

Local 6 showed several vehicles covered in different colors with the “Obama” messages.

A passing motorist initially spotted the damage and called police.

“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 are messages written on them and the vandals left their business card, which is crazy.”

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.

Hmmm - nothing in this article how some of those vehicles had anti-McCain slogans or pro-Hillary slogans.

Nope, no bias here. Just trying to imply a racist vandal, that’s all.

[jennyjenny]

Ummm, maybe they were talking about Osama.

[jennyjenny]

Ummm, maybe they were talking about Osama.

Oops, nevermind. Just saw the other article.

[the invisib1e hand]

hate crimes.

[A_perfect_lady]

And though the messages are pro-Hillary or pro-legalizing pot... sooner or later it will be decided that white conservatives did this.

[Anat]

Anyting is possible under the prevailing circumstances.
Power to be elected,and such.Would not be surprised but,
perhaps a follower of Obama decided to commit this stupid
act

[exile]

Agreed. I smell a setup.

[Bernard]

Hillary’s minions sure are bitter....

You mean they are clinging to their spray paint cans in bitterness and frustration?

[marinamuffy]

Well, obviously the “Legalize Marijuana/Stop Building Prisons” stuff proves that it was evil Republicans behind this. /sarc

[10mm]

Reichstagging

[Conspiracy Guy]

Obviously a Bob Barr Campaign ploy.

[filbert]

Add me to the list of people who suspect that all this nonsense is leftist Obama-supporter agitprop.

[Mojave]

‘Legalize Marijuana/ Stop Building Prisons’.

Libertarians?

[pennboricua]

next like that plagiarist professor recently fired they are going to play the noose card.

[JW Brown]

“Weird, but why do I think its a stunt by obama’s supporters, to prove how racist it is out there.”

The only thing missing are the dead “Poles.”

[beericus]

Add me to the we are being set up list.

[bray]

Bets on a racist stunt the night before the election staged by his supporters?

Pray for W and Our Troops

[Fresh Wind]

Osama???

That's also correct. Just ask Uncle Ted.

[beericus]

Thats why I posted this. I always thought that this kind of stuff was going to happen. Its beginning. I am nervous!!!!

[Ben Reyes]

Done to garner sympathy/converts for Obama (”those Republicans are baaaddd!”).

[television is just wrong]

free publicity? in this day and age, a racist vandal? NO

[Catholic Canadian]

Funny, I don’t envision Republicans as the type of people to vandalise. I usually associate that with more left leaning people.

[ExGeeEye]

me too.

love chocolate.

you?

[rusureitflies?]

Yup, the obooma crowd never could spill... My Anglish teecher gave me an A+ in spilling...er, speeeling..spalling.. ahh, whatever......

[Clairity]

“Funny, I don’t envision Republicans as the type of people to vandalise. I usually associate that with more left leaning people.”

They are most likely not “white, racist, conservatives” who did this.

I recall an instance a few years back, when a black female college professor reported that her car had been vandalized, with anti-racial slurs. It was reported on front pages everywhere, with the usual commentary about the white racist bigots who would do such a thing. After the poclice investigated, they found that SHE did it to her car herself. When they asked her why, she said “she wanted to draw attention to racial issues” — of course this was reported on the bottom of page 24.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was done by pro-Obama activists to play the race card and play on the “white guilt”, which seems to be one of his campaign themes: “If you aren’t going to vote for Obama, you must be racist” — his Marxist, socialist, tax-rasing, pro-terrorist stance has nothing to do with people not wanting to vote for him, of course. (sarcasm)

[yooling]

A bunch of kids, heads full of System Of A Down lyrics get drunk/high and bored.Add spray-paint and viola'.

[informavoracious]

"those Republicans are baaaddd!”

YEAH. They clinge too they gunns and religin and thay cain't spell niether. Them Repooblikans is so stoopid.

Conservatives are not the type to spray paint police cars. We like the police for the most part, for the law and order they bring to society. Hillary supporters don't strike me as spray-painters, either, for different reasons. No, it's the mindless yute-o-bots who generally do this type of stuff.

[GitmoSailor]

Hillary

[BinaryBoy]

They left cards on each vehicle disparaging both Obama and Republican rival John McCain, but supportive of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

[Leo58]

This is obviously the action of a typical white person.

[dila813]

you nailed it, the are Hillary supporters, it will be blamed on repubs anyways.

[4yearlurker]

Where's the car that has “I'm a Freeper” spray painted on the hood. Sheesh. I guess only Conservatives buy and use spray paint.

[jtal]

I think you may be right. This smells like a hoax.

We have a thoughtcrime hate crime law on the books in Texas now because some black folks vandalized their own church.

But they couldn't even get the narrative right - instead of confederate or klan symbols they painted swastikas!

[weegee]

most of the vehicles were spray painted with anti Obama sayings, with ‘Obama’ misspelled

Sounds like it WAS stoned Obambi fans.

[vpintheak]

I am almost positive the obaminites did it to help out their dear leaders victim status, and hopefully buy some more white guilt votes.

[Tatze]

Misleading title. Anti-Obama AND anti-McCain slogans were spray painted on cars. For those who don’t read the article, the title gives the impression McCain supporters are responsible. Slimy media at work.

Vandals spray-painted “Obama Smokes Crack” and other hate messages

Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow (cocaine) when you could afford it. Not smack (heroin) though. (Barack Obama admitting taking cannabis and cocaine as a teenager, in 1995 memoir 'Dreams from My Father'.)

I did. It's not something that I'm proud of. It was a mistake as a young man, but you know? I mean not going to -- I never understood that line. The point was to inhale. That was the point. (Barack Obama about his marajuana use when asked "did you inhale?", November 2007.)

So it is now HATE to mention some inconvenient truths or unsubstantied rumors being said publicly by Larry Sinclair (a name, not someone in the shadows).

In a New York Times poll in June, 74 percent of respondents said they did not think most people they know would vote for a presidential candidate who has ever used cocaine.

"In the few polls that explicitly ask about cocaine use in a presidential candidate (as opposed to the softer more generic 'Drug Use,')" says one Washington, D.C. insider, "Seventy-four percent say cocaine use makes a person unfit to be president. It's the highest negative apart from 'no government experience.' Put differently, never in the history of the presidency has a front runner openly admitted to using cocaine. So now that Obama is talking about the drug use more often, I am absolutely certain it's because he and his team know that the cocaine issue is going to roar forward. It will be a major issue if he is the nominee.The GOP will ride it hard and he is trying to inoculate."

The Politics Of Obama's Past Cocaine Use (Douglas Burns Dec 06, 2007 at 15:57 PM )

And if he ADMITS that smoking pot was a "mistake", then why is he open to legalization when according to the article below he sees legalization (medicinal use) as a slippery slope?

MSNBC First Read: OBAMA OPEN TO LIMITED LEGALIZATION (Sunday, November 25, 2007)

So others can make the SAME mistake?

[weegee]

Libertarians Against Obama? Mmmm, COULD BE!

[weegee]

Churches are painted with upside down crosses, 666, etc but the media never calls those hate crimes. they are the vandalism of angry youths acting out is all.

[FORTRUTHONLY]

Sound really odd. How can you misspell Obama?

They spelled it OBOMA!!!



Quoting: The person or persons left a business card with political ramblings and other phrases such as ‘How ‘Bout them Gators’ and ‘Legalize Marijuana/ Stop Building Prisons’.
Definitely not Republicans. The last chant is the clear indication of some Hillary nut job.
