President Bush's campaign office in Spokane burglarized, vandalized

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.

This is getting ridiculous! One of my neighbors just told me that his bumper stickers were all removed last night off his car. Even worse he had a Marine Corp & US Flag on his car, the kind that attach from you windows, both were broken off & thrown on the ground. This is how the angry left treats personal property & our Vets?!!!

The venom being spewed by the left, I think it has the potential to bring about a civil war. I could see it. The libs would start out with wild riots in the big cities, torching Starbucks at night, then showing up with eyes of disbelief when they find it closed the next morning.

As the libs do like all rioters, and idiotically torch their own neighborhood, they will branch out to rural areas, where they will meet up with more firepower than Saddam's army had pre-invasion.

Picked off at long distance by sharpshooting hunters, smacked down by concealed carrys in the suburbs, greeted with shotgun pellets on the farmlands, the Libs do what to most would be unthinkable, but to them is the next logical step. Libs turn to Al Qaeda and begin to bring in thousands of arab terrorists to assist in their "struggle". Libs then enlist untold thousands of illegal imigrants fom Mexico and Central America.

In the end though, with their faith firmly rooted in the twin pillars of the Constitution and the Bible, not to mention vastly superior firepower and survival skills, the conservatives crush the Libs down.

Both sides seeing the irreconcilible differences, the decision is made to split the US up, giving the Libs the diagonal ends; the typically liberal northeast, including their twin temples Boston and NYC. To the South, they are given the region spreading from San Francisco up through Oregon and some of Washington state. Conservatives keep the SouthEast, and Southern California; which despite the typical liberal association, does harbor a good number of conservatives, and allows for the more ardent pursuit of sealing our borders.

The two semi-nations decide to share a common currency, but decide to have nothing to do with each other beyond that.

Twenty years later, the conservatives find it necessary to send troops to defend their new borders, as a new generation of poverty-stricken pseudo-Americans experience first-hand a taste of collapsed Socialism, once the last dollar has been handed out. Our prayers are with this new generation of miserable, and we hope they sow the seeds of freedom, wishing one day to break away from the chains of socialism and recapture the glory that was once the United States of America.

As for us, the conservatives, we have enjoyed a hard go at it, finding ourselves entirely isolated from the world community, to the suprise of nobody. We elected a new President, who ran on a ticket of immediate exit from United Nations, which we were most joyous to experience. We even saw to it that the signing of our Exit Charter took place on July 4th.

With an opportunity to reform America in the spirit and intent of the Founding Fathers, we have ended up with a recreation of the days of rugged individualism, the days where men were men. Life is not easy, but then, it was never meant to be.

So...you've put some thought into this??? Wow. Civil war of some degree is pretty relevant these days. People may even have to run across the streets to the other Starbucks (Shrek reference). Insightful post.

Excellent work, both of you. There ought to be a thread dedicated to documenting these brownshirt tactics of the Left.

WHEN WILL THE MAJOR NETWORKS START TALKING ABOUT THIS.

This would be the type of crimes that Hitler and Saddam would have their henchmen perform.

There were 20 on Wednesday, not counting Anchorage, Alaska, Fairbanks, Alaska (2x) and now Spokane. (link to video buried somewhere in the Wisconson HQ mobbing thread, about Wed-Thurs last week this site.)

Yes, and the press would be paid to give them the "right" publicity ~~ just as they are doing now.

We need to get this show on the road and make sure that as many people as possible know they can find the truth here.

It is OK to have it here, but we must also tell everyone we know where THEY can go for the truth. And contact the FBI ~~ deluge them with queries about why the GOP offices around the country are being broken into with coordinated attacks. Demand to know why theFBI are ignoring these facts, and demand they DO something to protect the President and the people who look to him as a role model.

Don't mince words. (Leave the profanity on the gym floor) Get the idea across that this country is tired of being held hostage by the Democrats.

This is just unbelieveable that they keep getting away with this stuff!
My husband put up new stickers on his car the other day and already it's been keyed and the windshield cracked. These people are evil.

I have heard it on Fox. I don't listen to any others, so I don't know that it is on there, or not.

Actually, I am a mere footpad in the VK Horde.
4mycountry is the High Priestess of the VKS
Lady Jag is, IIRC, the Official VK Dispatch
I'm not sure at this point who among the other recipients of this ping keeps the Killed Troll list.
To become a VK, posting a lightning strike or a nuclear detonation on a troll-thread is required.

To join the RKBA, a FReepmail to me is a minimum requirement.

Dang, another one.

Keep you head down and your powder dry, the next couple of weeks could get ugly if the debate goes Bush's way tomorrow.
