Dearborn, MI, was also attacked.

Citizens get into the mix of campaign clashing

Also Tuesday, a mob of up to 100 people stormed into a Republican campaign office in Dearborn, disrupting volunteer GOP workers until police quelled the disturbance.

Yvette Robinson, 28, director of the Dearborn Victory Center, said the intruders numbered 200 and arrived in three large buses plus cars. She said they swarmed into the building, surprising the campaign workers. Robinson said they chanted anti-Bush slogans and other chants, such as "Give us back our overtime."

Paolino said Republican campaign offices in several other states were similarly disrupted.

Dearborn police said they were called about 1 p.m. to the Michigan Republican Party's Dearborn Victory Center. Police issued two tickets to bus drivers for blocking traffic, said Dearborn Officer Chris Wenzara. Police estimated the crowd at between 50 and 100.

These actions all on the same day are obviously orchestrated. Kerry campaign has said nothing to condemn, so I will believe they are involved. Outrageous behaviour in the land of the free. Bless those who are volunteering to reelect our President. God be with you all.
