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.

Good point. And good reason to be armed.

John Kerry has whipped his left wing into a dangerous frenzie with lies and by waving a gun around saying he could not take it to the debate.

"The more violence the Dems use, the more determined we're going to be to defeat them."

Soooo true! Our domestic terrorists (the libs) should know this by now. By the way, the islamic terrorists should realize that the same principle applies to them - at least as long as Bush is President!

In DU they were discussing what they were going to do when Kerry gets elected. One thing they said was they would build concentration camps for Rebublicans. They are really crazy!

Anyone know if Don Imus called for the assassination of Paul Wolfowitz again this morning?

Someone really needs to put together a thread listing all of the DNC terror tactics being used against Republican voters, and then get it to Fox, Rush, Sean Hannity, etc. Everything - the sign burnings, the shootings at Republican HQs, the vandalism of cars and homes, the assaults on campaign volunteers and staffers, the death threats, etc. Because sure as hell the MSM won't report any of it, and they surely won't press Kerry or McAuliffe to denounce these tactics. Indeed, the media is snickering at it all, smugly telling themselves that those "right-wing wackos are getting what they deserve."

If we don't put some sort of spotlight on these acts, they are just going to escalate in frequency and intensity until people start getting killed or seriously injured. No one in the United States of America should have to die for expressing his political opinion , and every American should be outraged that this kind of terrorism is going on in their country. If the media is once again refusing to do its job and let people know this is happening, then I guess it's up to us to get the word out.

If bloody revolution is being planned, then it is time for extreme measures and failure to execute them would be gross incompetence.

Execute the measures, or execute the perpetrators?

Or both?

I was driving on I-85 yesterday when a young punk in a truck appeared angry and agressive over my Bush bumpersticker.

LOL. 2000 years of theology stating he'll be a flaming liberal, and a few useful left wing idiots think they can find "The real truth?" LOL.
I suppose they skipped right over the baby killing, adultery, perjury, tax collectors, and homosexual sections? LOL!

I totally agree. My husband never would put a Bush sticker on his truck because he works in a union plant but he said to heck with that so he put his Bush sticker on, right above his VietNam Vet sticker and so far so good.
