Mike Rogers' Office Vandalized
WXYZ News ^ | Mar 20, 2007 | N/A

Posted on 03/20/2007 11:13:31 AM PDT by Freeport

Congressman Mike Rogers' home is under police guard after his Lansing office was severely vandalized last night. The case is being handled by the FBI and the US Capitol Police, who have requested that the Lansing Police investigate the matter.

According to the Congressman's spokesperson, the office was extensively damaged.

Two security cameras were destroyed and the building was spray painted.

The tapes from the cameras are being reviewed to see if they recorded anything before they were destroyed.

The vandals also spread red paint all over the 8th congressional district sign in front of the building, as well as on a sign that says "We Support Our Troops."

They also put a sign on one of the buildings windows that says Congressman Rogers has "blood on his hands."

Congressman Rogers is in Washington DC today to testify on Capitol Hill.

His Chief of Staff Andy Keiser issued a statement about the vandalism.

Keiser says:

"It is unfortunate that a few criminals decided to attack the 8th District Congressional office in the middle of the night. This is an office which provides mid-Michigan citizens with assistance regarding Social Security, Medicare, the IRS, Veterans Affairs and other federal agencies."

"The aggressive destruction of federal property and vandalism was a callous attempt to intimidate Congressman Rogers and his staff."

More activism no doubt from Left Wing "Peace" protesters who paradoxically resort to violence to make their point. Talk about hypocritical....

I figured he was a Republican. The media never gives party affiliation unless it helps their agenda.

Well, I'm sure they support our troops too, and in turn, I'm sure the troops are supportive of these actions.  That's what that nice man with the pierced nose from ANSWER yelled at me anyways.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

Professors are like mullahs. They only instigate, they don't participate.

I personally know one I grew up with who is now a professor of micro-biology that I guarantee if she doesn't know the people's shoe size who did it then I will eat my hat.

The closer we get to Controlling the Violence in Iraq and the killing of more bad guys over there, the more desperate the enemy will become. (Is becoming)
We must beware of the enemies within. They don't want our soldiers to kill more bad guys. That's what they mean by "no more deaths."
Stand firm against the enemies of this country. Our Commander and Chief, President Bush knows this and that is why he is hated so much.

If it was at his East Michigan Ave office it is right down the street from the Lansing Police Department in a well lit area.

It wasn't always that way. When I was a kid we lived next door to an MSU biology professor. During deer season he would bring his students to his house to clean and butcher his deer for him as part of their lesson.

Bingo! I noticed no mention of affiliation either. When I read about the "Support the Troops" sign, I knew.

Just another example of the new Left's new version of Krystalnacht. Here is another example from today.

See the similarities between the Religion of Peace (ROP) and the Democrat Party of Peace (POP) They both espouse peace but practice violence.

The local drive-by media conveniently omit his GOP affiliation. They would never want to make the radical appeaseniks look "violent" or "intolerant", toward the Evil Bush Empire, would they now?
