This violence against the Republicans & President Bush is getting way out of hand. This is about the 7th or 8th state now that I have heard of vandalism, broken plate glass windows etc.

This is now SERIOUS, police better start watching!

PING!

These are the political goons who are peddling the idea that evil Republicans are out to "intimidate" minorities into not voting.

Why is it that Democrats can't control their rent a mobs?

I hope the President discusses this issue tomorrow in his speech.

[uglybiker]

They consider it 'more bang for the buck'.

[Cinnamon Girl]

What were they protesting? The fact that they're dumbasses?

[claudiustg]

They keep it up and they're going to find out what the phrase "well regulated militia" means.

Here's some quotes from another article about this.

"Countered South Florida AFL-CIO president Fred Frost: "It was as civil as it gets.'"

"Debra Booth, president of the Central Florida AFL-CIO, described the protest as "peaceful'"

If there are any union members in florida here, you may want to contact these people to let them know what you think.

Debra Booth - Central Florida AFL-CIO (407) 649-8557

Here's an e-mail for Fred Frost's branch

And here's an email for journalist Mark Schlueb at the Orlando Sentinel newspaper.

Here's a link to contact the national office of the AFL-CIO

http://www.aflcio.org/siteguides/contactus.cfm

John Sweeney, the President of the AFL-CIO needs to make a public statement explaining how it came to be that this was coordinated at multiple bush/cheney offices. He also needs to provide an apology to the campaign workers and President Bush. I hope he is criminally prosecuted, but I'm not holding my breath.

This is so shocking since the Democrats are the party of peace and tolerance.

I seem to recall a similar problem with a "third-rate burglary" of Democrat HQ in the early 1970s. Didn't it lead to serious allegations of corruption of the constitution and the downfall of a president? I suppose the sacking of 7 or 8 Republican local HQs wouldn't count, though.

For some reason the "SEARCH" does not always bring up a previously posted article. I DID try it!

[BigCinBigD]

Was the HQ open when it was over run? If so what were the workers doing while the dirty hippies ransacked the place?

I would have been introducing Mr. Hippy to Mr. Stapler and Ms. Tape Dispencer. :(

[HitmanLV]

I wish I was there. The GOPers have to learn there's a time to bust heads, sometimes.

Like when you get attacked.

[Rockitz]

The end always justifies the means with these people- very twisted. Their divided minds (truth vs. proclaimed ideology) must drive them crazy.

[kingattax]

please dont insult dumbasses. :)

[meanie monster]

These are strange times indeed. I am locked n loaded, let them mess with me.

[Arkinsaw]

Does anybody think that this will sway undecided voters in Florida toward Kerry-Edwards? Nah, people who like ransacking Bush headquarters are already going to be voting for Kerry.

Nope, this helps Kerry in no way. His super-dumb cultist types think they are helping him out but they are losing him swing votes. Do the soccer moms like this sort of instability....security moms? There are probably some Jewish voters who normally vote democrat that might not get a good feeling about these little miniature Kristalnachts that the Democrats are pulling.

It's part of a very old pattern...

First campaign ends in defeat
by Brian C. Mooney

PART 4

To win the primary, the newcomer overcame the election eve arrest of his brother, Cameron, and campaign field director Thomas J. Vallely, both then 22, in the basement of a Lowell building that housed the headquarters of Kerry and another Democratic contender, state Representative Anthony R. DiFruscia of Lawrence. It was almost 2 a.m. - 30 hours before the polls opened - when the two were arrested on charges of breaking and entering with intent to commit larceny.

That day's Sun blared a memorable, double-deck headline: "Kerry brother arrested in Lowell 'Watergate."' DiFruscia, getting some extra ink in the campaign's waning hours, had drawn the parallel to the break-in at Democratic headquarters in Washington three months earlier.
