An unknown suspect fired several shots into the Bearden office of the Bush/Cheney re-election campaign Tuesday morning.

The headquarters are located at 4618 Kingston Pike, next to Noveau Classics and in the same shopping plaza as Long's Drugstore.

According to Knoxville Police Department (KPD) officers on the scene Tuesday, it is believed that the two separate shots were fired from a car sometime between 6:30 am and 7:15 am.

One shot shattered the glass in the front door and the other cracked the glass in another of the front doors.

There were no witnesses to the shooting. A customer at a nearby dry cleaning store noticed shattered glass on the sidewalk in front of the headquarters and called police.

Volunteers and staffers at the campaign office say they have no clues as to who might have committed the crime. However, they add that the shooting makes them even more enthusiastic and energized about working for their candidates.

"If I have to sleep here (at the campaign office) now, that's what I'll do," says volunteer Suzanne Dewar.

In an unexpected twist, a bank directly across the street from the headquarters was robbed just as KPD officers were busy investigating at the scene of the shooting.

And I am afraid its going to get even worse. These people are demon possessed and are in the grip of the "Dark Side".

Yep.

[ Have we grown so flaccid and liberal that we would not *UTTERLY CRUSH* revolution? ]

Yes... Consider the FCC's inaction on obvious sediton by MSM outlets.. They(FCC) have a 280 million dollar budget(2004) this year for doing WHAT... 278 million last year.. Looks like the FCC is into staffing desks not policing the airwaves.. Those desks no doubt are filled by demotrolls too.. I say all that even knowing that sedition is vertiably LEGAL in the U.S. today.. should not be...

Wow...I had no idea the Dems have gone this nuts...

The solution? Shoot back. Then when you wing, or even kill one, we'll all find out who they are, and who put them up to it.

I plan to keep a low profile for a few weeks.

I plan to be well armed, as always, but I never keep a low profile.

And this isn' t even the first time. Gosh, it's almost as if the Democrats were on the side of the terrorists, and, oops, wait a minute, oh, I see now...
George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent

Around election time, Republican offices become higher priority targets than liquor stores.

Our local paper reported the 60 minutes story when Rather first run the story and never printed a word about memogate!

DNC brownshirts.

Well we know what happened to the orginal brownshirts. I'm sure their night of the long knives is coming.

What happened in WV? I have been out of the loop for a week (wedding plans).

Olde north, think a minute about what you are saying. If it was organized by the DNC or affiliated group, then we will have a civil war soon regardless of how the election goes.

Believe me, I have an idea of what is going on. I just don't think they have the ba$$s to do this yet.

I didn't know Dems could operate firearms.

While the money folks, the limousine liberals, usually can't, nor the soccer moms, their foot soldiers, the union thugs and minority gang members, can and do.

Care to post a few links?

I have heard rumors of this to. Tend to put it in the ranting and raving lunatic file, but it is good to keep tabs on the opposition.

Try doing or saying anything along those lines about a Democratic politician, and you wake up next to your new roommate Snake and his jailhouse friends....if you are lucky.

Keep your powder dry....this is gonna get worse before it gets better.

Don't know about you, but I keep my powder in little brass capsules, with the bullet sealed into the opening. These in turn are in boxes, which are inside of plastic pouches and those are in a wooden crate. Once the plastic pouch is opened, I keep the boxes in green metal cans or black plastic containers which have seals to help prevent moisture from getting inside. My powder is dry.
