Political motivations turned criminal Thursday night or early Friday when vandals smashed a large glass door with a section of cinder block at the Republican Party headquarters in downtown Flagstaff. A pile of shattered glass joined egg shells filling the entryway to the GOP offices, located on Humphreys Street across from Wheeler Park. Fliers with information criticizing President Bush were staked up outside the door.
It joined a spate of torn and damaged signs reported by both Republicans and Democrats throughout the Flagstaff area. On Sunday, the campaign for 1st Congressional District Democratic challenger Paul Babbitt reported a dozen signs torn and damaged at its volunteer office on Verde Street.
Local GOP coordinator John Echols said he received at 7 a.m. phone call from an employee at Enterprise Rent-a-Car next door reporting the vandalism. Echols arrived to find the smashed door, but little else in the way of damage. Still, police are considerting the crime as a felony because cost to replace the door is expected to exceed $1,000.
"Thankfully, none of the office had been vandalized," Echols said, but speculated that the vandals most likely intended to cause more damage. "I think they may have been spooked. We are on a major thoroughfare."

Yet more destruction, vandalism and thuggish conduct from the party of "peace and tolerance."
Are there democrat HQ being hit? Am I just hearing of these because this is Free Republic? I personally have yet to hear of anything. However, someone spray painted a Kerry yard sign in Charlotte.
thanks..Usually I preview before Posting.
More anti-American violence by the Democrats.
Another message from the Political Party of Tolerance and Peace,
You forgot "truth."
NAU is in Flag, so this doesn't surprise me. There are a lot of foaming-at-the-mouth liberals moving into AZ in the last few years. Many republican signs were vandalized in my town in 2000.
This is just a small preview of what's to come after the election. It's going to be real ugly.
Where is the SeeBS/Rather and Nightline coverage of this militant insurgency attacking our political system?
I know. I just can't bring myself to parrot the entirety of the Left's deceptive lunacy.
Five to one, baby.
One in five.
No one here
Gets out alive.
I called NBC the other day to ask if they were investigating these multiple acts of vandalism/intimidation/a few assualts of Republicans. They said that they were "looking into it". I asked if there would be any reporting of it before Election Day. They said not likely,they needed "more evidence". I asked,was not the man in,was it Florida? who had his wrist sprained,and the offices which had computers/drives/petty cash stolen,enough,and they said that they needed more "proof". I gave up at that point.
I don't know about Nightline, but Viacom (CBS) is probably funding it.
I saw the orange overspray ... LoL ... it took some time to do that one. The sign I saw was a 4'x 8' raised display on some kind of circular platform, The paint looked to be the kind used by underground cable locators.
You don't understand the game. What they need is "balance". They need to be able to show that the Republicans do it too. Otherwise, it's just a biased hit piece against the democrats, and objective journalists can't allow that.
