McCain supporter says she was spit on at West Kendal voting site
Miami Herald ^ | October 30, 2008 | Luisa Yanez

Zaida Harriman, a John McCain volunteer, who has stood outside the West Dadel Regional Library since early voting began, felt the wrath of Barack Obama supporters this week, she said.

On Wednesday, as she held the elaborate political sign she made herself supporting the GOP ticket, she said she was spit on by Obama supporters.

"I was standing here,'' said the retired school cafeteria worker, pointing to the median where all motorists pass who are coming to vote at the library complex at 9445 Coral Way.

"These two young girls driving by in a car saw my sign, yelled and spit at me and threw their gum at me, too'' she said.

She said the incident was followed by a small scuffle between other McCain and Obama supporters. It all ended with a female Obama supporter so agitated, Miami-Dade fire rescue had to be called to treat her.

>>>The mental meltdown of the left is going to be huge when we win<<<

The "meltdown" will occur no matter who wins. If you live in a large metroplex, expect riots - stay alert, and armed.

Some are worried about celebration riots, look at the mess fans can make after their team wins a ball game.

This kind of behavior is just what I expect from The Party of Tolerance.

No, I take that back. Merely spitting on people is far better behavior than I have come to expect from tehm.

I hope you're wrong. Are you suggesting that an Obama victory would also bring about riots? By whom? Conservatives don't "protest" or "riot" for the most part.

Win or lose, America's underclass is still going to need to loot new flat screen TVs, sneakers and cases of Heineken. Of course, the looters will all be tagged as "Angry McCain supporters" by the media (despite the "Obama" t-shirts they'll be wearing).

Yes - that what I am suggesting. You have read about how inner city folks riot and tear up their cities when they win a basketball or football playoff.

This will be much bigger. The inner city poor have been fed a steady diet of "its the riches fault"; it's Bush's fault; it's big business's fault; it's Republican's fault. Take your pick. The riots if they win, will be part celebration and a bigger part revenge.

There is a huge contingent of discontented, angry and revenge oriented folks in every metroplex....courtesy of the Democrats politics of division.

I predict they will want to "get even"...win or loose.

I hope I'm wrong too!!
