EXCLUSIVE: .22 Gunshot, paint balls fired at McCain / Palin Straight Talk Express
October 19th, 2008
(Sunday, October 19 - Filed by Mark Williams in Raton, New Mexico with the Stop Obama Tour) We learned at this morning’s Stop Obama Rally here that the McCain/Palin Straight Talk Express came through town yesterday. It arrived with a window shattered by a .22 caliber weapon. It had also been hit by an unknown number of paint balls from a paint ball gun or guns. There were reportedly no injuries and neither candidate was on board.
One local man who saw the damage and spoke with the McCain/Palin staffers said the attack(s) had occurred in southern New Mexico that same day. The Express is traveling the country independent of the candidates, handing out campaign materials.
Sarah Palin is stumping in of all places Roswell, New Mexico today and then roughly back the way we came with an event at the Henderson, Nevada Pavilion tomorrow and a stop in Elko, Nevada.
NObama! NO DEAL!
“Just the beginning. Wait until they stop our free speech.”
Yeah — when the ones firing the shots at us are part of the government. The ACORN 5 November Brigade.
Move to Pittsburgh and we’ll see how long before you take it off, its like living in Berlin in the early 40s.
AH!! Meant to say: the ACORN 4 November Brigade!
That would be too funny! need an oversized plunger to maw it obvious.
I have a “Annoy the media vote McCain palin” sticker on my car. I mostly get thumbs up but latley I have been a little paranoid just waiting for my car to get keyed ...but I don’t care....well I sorta don’t care..
maw = make, sorry i have fat fingers LOL
Anyone verified this? Do any pictures exist?
Double Sarah’s personal guard now. Obama’s supporters are violent.
My American nephew sent me a pair of American flags painted on wood, joined by a thick string, in 2002. I hung them from my rear view mirror.
I left my car at work one weekend, and came back on Monday to find what turned out to be Kentucky Fried Chicken gravy all over the roof, (it is hard on the paint), and a few key marks.
You know what? It was worth it.
I cleaned up my car, touched up the paint, and kept the flags hanging proudly.
I've watched the change here in Canada....the more conservatives speak out, the more conservatives speak up. The more we stand up for each other, more of us will stand up for each other. The more people see your McCain/Palin sticker, the more people will feel safe putting one on their vehicle.
It's People Power.
Am I explaining myself properly? I understand the fear, but if we don't stand up to it now, it will surely only become worse.
