Walls Spraypainted Overnight

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Police are investigating vandalism at the Ohio Republican Party headquarters in Columbus, NewsChannel 4 reported.

Outside walls on the front, sides and back of the office building were spraypainted with politically motivated rhetoric.

GOP staffers believe the vandalism happened Thursday after the cleaning crew left at 3:30 a.m. and before the receptionist arrived at 7 a.m.

Surveillance cameras are installed at the office, but they are pointed at the parking lot, not the actual building.

The headquarters has been vandalized in the past, but not like this, according to staffers.

"We are in a heated political environment this year," said Jason Mauk of the Ohio Republican Party. "I wouldn't begin to assign blame. Clearly, these malicious acts were done by somebody with no respect for the law and too much time on their hands."

Typical behavior from the scumbags.

"Clearly, these malicious acts were done by somebody with no respect for the law and too much time on their hands."

LOL! That describes the democrat base...

[Bikers4Bush]

This is just the beginning, violence against politicians is next.

Clearly, these malicious acts were done by somebody with no respect for the law and too much time on their hands.

Well, that narrows it down to just a few million democrats.

Can't we scream censorship, or racism? Isn't that the normal protocol in such situations?

Hate Crime!

That's the normal course for leftists. When their ideology is shown to be a failure (again) they usually resort to trying to put in in place through force.

We've already seen the beginnings through their violent 'peace protests'. I've seen mention of violence at such places as DU if they don't win the election this year.

"I've seen mention of violence at such places as DU if they don't win the election this year."

I've seen stuff like that in some of the sewers I've gone exploring in.

What always amuses me about those threats is that the very people making them are not the one's that own guns.

And I believe the saying goes, never bring a knife to a gunfight.

Sounds like a bit of PC thrown in for drama. How about just calling it leftist/lib/Demo graffiti?

Dems must be in agony to take actions so dour.
Vandalizing the opposition in an early morning hour.
They know their gonna lose.
They must really have the blues.
It is great to see them suffering so, being out of power.

This will effect voters mindset too. Nothing is more of a turnoff to a swing voter than one side defacing the other side's property... Who is winning the argument when such steps are taken? We shall see when w let the voter decide.

Hate Crime!

No, no, no... if this had been the DEM headquarters, it would be a (gasp!) Hate Crime. But this is a GOP HQ, so it's just "politically motivated rhetoric." I'm surprised it even warranted a news article. [/sarcasm]

South Florida "BUSH" signs will be vandalized again this year. The alternative lifestyle nazi's will guarantee it.

[arjay]

I live in a suburb of Dayton, Oh and my Bush signs were vandalized during the last election.

I am reasonably certain that if I put up signs or bumper stickers, my property will be vandalized again.

Don't forget the enviro-Nazis vandalizing Hummer H2s.
