President Bush's campaign office in Spokane burglarized, vandalized
By David Postman
Seattle Times chief political reporter
President Bush's campaign office in Spokane was broken into and vandalized last night, the latest in a string of crimes at Bush offices across the country.
Workers arriving this morning found a hole smashed through the wall from an adjacent, vacant office. Bush campaign officials say a small amount of petty cash is missing and a computer and television had been moved and left near the hole.
"They must have gotten spooked because they ultimately left the computer and TV," said Bill Hyslop, the campaign's chairman for the Fifth Congressional District.
Spokane police responded this morning and took the computer's monitor and the TV, Hyslop said.
"We obviously have no idea who did this and are not going to cast aspersions," said Hyslop, who served as U.S. attorney in Spokane under President George H.W. Bush.
Last week computers were stolen in a burglary at the campaign's Bellevue headquarters. Bush campaign officials believe the break ins are part of a broader attack on the president's re-election offices around the country, including a burglary in Canton, Ohio, last night, gun shots fired in West Virginia, Florida and Tennessee and union protestors storming offices in three Florida cities and Minneapolis.
There are no suspects in the burglaries or shootings and no injuries were reported.
Because the protests at campaign offices that were stormed were part of organized union demonstrations, Bush campaign chairman Marc Racicot wrote a letter today to AFL-CIO President John Sweeney asking him to call off any future protests.
"In addition to the injuries, property damage and disruption associated with these acts, these events have created a threatening and intimidating atmosphere abhorrent to our democratic process," Racicot wrote.
The Spokane headquarters for the Bush campaign is a part of a joint operation with the Republican Party. It sits at the corner of two busy streets.
Hyslop said that a security guard checked the building at about 6 a.m. today and did not report any disturbance.
But when construction crews working on the adjacent office arrived within 30 minutes later, they noticed the back door of the adjacent office had been pried open from an alleyway.
They also discovered that a hole appeared to have been kicked through the drywall separating the vacant space from the Bush offices. The computer and TV were found near the hole.

'John Fuhrer Kerry??'
Nah...He's not that bright. His strings are being pulled by Hitlery, for the good of the people.
So check out the FBI website, and flood ALL their email addresses with protests about the GOP office break-ins...and tell all your friends to tell all THEIR friends...
And don't forget to vote for FREEDOM!
So, tell me about your vow of silence!
Gee, I thought Washington state was in the bag for Kerry. I guess the Dems up there aren't so confident about winning the state. Something is going on out there. The Dems are acting more kooky and reckless than usual during an election season. My guess is deep down they know their man is going down in flames big time, and it's causing them to become unhinged.
Ya know I was impressed this eveing...this Vet had replaced both flags & bumper stickers on his car within hours! Good for him. I have a feeling he will do it if it happens again too. It made me sooo made I had knots.
naaaaa they are too all self important, they are thrilled with these "successes" of theirs, planning more, and truly believe they are winning because of it.
These people don't have a rational Republican mind set, they are LIBERTALS.
I know. I get tied up in knots all the time. I worry about this country, I really do. There truly is no accountability anymore. These people are a bunch of overgrown, overaged, rebellios adolescents!!!!
guess I really!! should have hit the spell check on that last one. They get me so mad I can't type!!
If I tell you, I will have to kill you.
Only the intellectual, highly nuanced elite have property rights. For the rest of us, it's all for the "common good."
I am just sick to death of this. Is this what it felt like to watch the Nazis attempt to come to power? How can it be stopped?
You forgot your sarcasm tag. *L*
So, after Western Washington offices had been vandalized, the Eastern side managers still did...NOTHING to protect themselves? Sigh...
"No suspects"??? Gimmie a big frickin' break!
shhhhhh! It's the "Kerry Plan"
I am sure this will be headlines in my newspaper tomorrow............Not!
The day after the Afghan elections, the first in 5000 years, Newsday stuck the story on page 8. Of course the proceeding 7 pages had all the "bad" news about Iraq.
The MSM has become an absolute joke.
