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.
"I'd say if you live in the United States of America and you vote for George Bush, you've lost your mind." - John Edwards, the epitomy of evil in our no-justice system, said this last night on ABC's Nightline. Yes, the Dems have gone THIS nuts...and Kerry-Edwards promote class-envy/hatred.
Time to break out the body armor.
Giving us the name of a State would be nice...
Democrats shouldn't be elected to any position, and these people represent the Democrat party. They are the Democrat party. Violent, hate filled, and vile.
Well, I do find it interesting Toby Keith had shots fired into his bus, not too long after an Iraq war veteran was beat up after one of his concerts. Toby has a famous song about kicking terrorist butt, it's possible it was intentional from the Dem 'peaceniks'.
You can blame this new era of mendacious take-the-gloves-off, pitbull, go-for-the-jugular, win-at-all-costs vitriol on the Clinton slime team - Paul Begala, James Carville, and Syd "Vicious" Blumenthal.
Unfortunately, I fear things will never be the same. There is no such thing as civility in politics anymore. We're becoming a Banana Republic.
Suspect? Its pretty well established that shots were fired which would make the person who did it a 'perpetrator.'
IOW, the person who did it is NOT suspected of doing it, THEY ACTUALLY DID IT!
I wouldn't sign my name to this lousy writing either. Rant over...
It depends on the police and DA's office. That area is heavily Democratic, so I expect this will be the last we hear about it.
The media sure as he;; won't touch it. I live in West TN and had to learn of the event off the internet.
Knoxville, Tennessee.
Swastikas etched into lawns, bullets through rival campaign headquarters... business as usual for the Party of Peace.
And Kerry was just saying how Republicans are intimidating voters. Sheesh.
Has anyone from his campaign come out and addressed any of these incidents?
Scary stuff.....I'm afraid it will only get worse. I hope Pres. Bush's security is tight as a drum, especially after he gets reelected.
Was he hurt?
Those pesky pacifists are at it again, I see.
Wonder why the MSM never take any interest in the fact that virtually 100% of such reports are in the left-to-right direction?

I can't help feel the same way about these people as I do about al Qaeda:
Both aspire and conspire to tear down, subvert, and hijack America as we know it, and bring her to it's knees.
Try TENNESSEE...Knox County...Knoxville...even in OHIO we know this... :)
If someone tries to get my Bush/Cheney yard sign, they will get hit with a base ball bat on the back of their little hatefilled hands. I do not own a gun, I am affraid what I would do with it! But I do sleep with a Baseball bat by my bed.
The problem these wackos do not realize is that there is gonna be a backlash against them (Beware the Counter Revolution as you say)and it is not gonna be pretty and violent. These scum are gonna lose so bad it will make their heads spin.
where did you read that?
Yes, I admire their spirit.
The more violence the Dems use, the more determined we're going to be to defeat them. They've misjudged us if they think we're going to run. This is our country and we're not going to let them destroy it.
