Windows smashed at Bush campaign headquarters (Portland, Ore.)
KOIN-TV (6) ^ | 10/22/2004

Rocks crashed through the windows of a Bush campaign office while it was vacant Wednesday night.

Republican campaign workers said vandals hit their office in southeast Portland, filling the large front windows full of holes.

"Those of us who do this for a living are accustomed to this and it doesn't come as a tremendous surprise, knowing the absolute rabid hatred of the left out here. But I gotta tell you, it really worries me that it's going to deter some of our volunteers from wanting to work as late at night," director Tim Trickery told KOIN News 6.

Local Democratic leaders say they don't condone vandalism from either side.

By noon Thursday, police had not yet investigated the incident.

No wonder the Democrats love the terrorists. They both believe in using violence to intimidate their opponents.

Too bad for the both of them that we Republicans don't back down from a fight. Time to open a can of Whoop-Ass on 'em!

Either side? Has any Democratic site been attacked?

I have a feeling these "acts" being committed against Bush/Cheney offices are going to backfire. Kerry should tell his crew to cool it.

Why do people throw rocks? I've never understood what message they are trying to get across or what exactly they are trying to accomplish. It reminds me of a playground fights when I was 6 years old.

Those kind of comments drive me nuts.. 'both sides do it'... BS!! Show me.. I saw someone trying to compare a 'prank' where someone walked out to TWO frozen waffles on their doorstep... to having a Swastika burned in lawn.. IT'S NO WHERE CLOSE TO THE SAME THING. I mean c'mon.. would it be the same for highschool student to put bubbles in the school fountain, and another to burn down the school?? Of course not.

Can we get a list going listing all similar reports from around the country? I know there are lots of them! Windows have been shot out and everything else.

There is historical precedent for local law enforcement doing nothing while thugs vandalized private property. The most infamous occurred the nights of November 9 and 10th, 1938, in Germany. It came to be known as Kristallnacht.

There are some who would criticize those who would dare to draw a parallel between the two cases, claiming a few isolated incidents of vandalism cannot be compared to a national pogrom. But I don't think these incidents of vandalism and intimidation of Republican campaign workers are isolated, but part of a nationwide attempt to intimidate and silence an entire voting bloc. This is exactly how the electoral process is subverted and eventually subdued by a ruthless and power-hungry group, with a bloody and repressive dictatorship the common outcome.

I think you answered you own question. Look what we're dealing with.

Local news in Cincinnati, Ohio reports the Republican office in the downtown area was broken into last night. Window broken, files rifled, office equipment overturned and damaged ... no one apprehended yet.

How did that verse go?

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

Hmm... The left things they are fighting fascism and nazism by attacking Republicans and Republican HQs. They're demented, deluded fools. Too bad we can't channel them as effectively as the enemy into hating the right enemy.

Playground fights!

Perfect metaphor, most are big brats who used to be little brats.

Spoil the rod & spoil the child.

They should & could be hunted down & made to learn glazing, so they could learn to be positvely oriented for a change.

I know I could find them and after they heal up, teach them to replace windows.

I used to live in the Peoples Republic of Portland Oregon. I'm happy to say I reside there no more. There is no place that I know of that is as corrupt as this. They are even breaking up the homeless camps as we speak. This has to mean they are going to give another plot of land to the Doped up and the Lazy. What are they going to call it Dignity Village #2 ? While the only County Income Tax "Multnomah" sits in the balance to be defeated by a landslide I'm surprised they even reported on the Vandalism.
