A cat belonging to an Arkansas Democratic campaign manager was found dead on Sunday night with the word "Liberal" spray-painted across its side, the campaign manager said.

The cat was a pet of Jake Burris, who manages Democrat Ken Aden's bid for Arkansas' 3rd Congressional District. Aden is running against incumbent Republican Representative Steve Womack.

Burris was returning to his Russellville, Arkansas home with his four children when he found the cat on his doorstep, the Aden campaign said in a press release on Monday.

The mixed-breed Siamese cat had one side of its head bashed in to "the point the cat's eyeball was barely hanging from its socket," the release said.

Aden told Reuters that the event was "horrible, to say the least." …

I take it that you don’t like cats, either.

Maybe the cat was trying to get a free lunch at somebody’s bird feeder and the “Liberal” label was meant for the cat - not the owner.

POST OF THE DAY!!!

“A coroner’s report was inconclusive but surprisingly the cat’s DNA matched Kathleen Wiley’s missing cat.”

Our furball is a far right wing conservative North Texas she-cat. Eight pounds of mad as hell furry, I mean fury, would have surely been unleashed if somoene even just gave her the stinkeye!

Sickened to hear of what happened to this animal. I’ll also get in line with everyone else to call BS on the story, and hope the local press follows this to what is the likely culprit - libs.

this is horrible, klinton tactics.

you don’t kill a pet. this is wrong.

[Secret Agent Man]

This is just sick.

You don’t take it out on a person’s animals. If you despise someone THIS much, not saying it’s right, but have some freaking balls and take a swipe at the person yourself, rather than their animal.

Whoever the idiot who did this, please don’t ever consider yourself a conservative or even part of the Republican party. Join up with Democrat Underground and union thugs who’ll welcome you with open arms.

I tried to make a comment on the Reuter’s site only to find I’ve been banned from making comments.

Standard Leftist campaign ploy. Trash your own home, office etc and blame the opposition. Send hate mail to yourself. Do anything so you can play victim to the media.

Pathetic and sick.

Did Reuters report on the attempt by a Dem operative to steal the Iowa SOS's identity? I doubt it. If indeed someone killed this cat intentionally, then I do not wish that person well. But, given the Democrat penchant for lying, I think the claim is dubious at this time.

Sounds like a Morton Downey Jr episode

Most people can't even name their representative, much less someone running for office, or their campaign manager! Who even knows who is managing someone's campaign, anyway. No way is this believable.

Not true. I own two.

It seemed like the obvious answer to the inquiry.

I’m voting for he did it himself.
