ORLANDO, Fla. -- Vandals spray-painted "Obama Smokes Crack" and other hate messages on 60 city vehicles parked across the street from City Hall in downtown Orlando.
Investigators said the vandals painted the messages -- which appear to be politically motivated -- after dark Saturday night.
Local 6 showed several vehicles covered in different colors with the "Obama" messages.
A passing motorist initially spotted the damage and called police.
"I'm driving by and every car I see has been hit with spray paint," witness Mike Lowe said. "There is so much damage to them. There are messages written on them and the vandals left their business card, which is crazy."
Special business cards left near the damaged vehicles contained negative messages about Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain. However, there were positive words about Sen. Hillary Clinton, Local 6's Kimberly Houk reported.
Some of the vehicles also had opened gas tanks.
Orlando police are investigating the incident and the business cards left at the scene.
Anyone with information concerning the crime is urged to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.
Nice skew - “anti-Obama” hate speach.... ps, they wrote negative things about McCain. Must be those radical right wingers acting up again.
Smells like another” Reichstag fire” to me.
The dems did this to make repubicans look bad.
One of the 60 city vehicles spray-painted by vandals while they were parked across from Orlando city hall late Saturday night June 28, 2008. Investigators say the culprits spray-painted notes such as 'Obama smokes crack' and a racial epithet. They even left cards on each vehicle disparaging both Obama and Sen. John McCain but have messages of support for Sen. Hillary Clinton. Police also found that many of the vehicles had open gas tanks.
Awww geeesh...do we really need this?
Of course I distrust Obama supporters to such a degree that it wouldn’t surprise me if this was their doing.
Sounds like another scam by Obama supporters to engender sympathy and to cast anyone who votes against Obama as a racist. Odds are that this is an inside job.
This could very easily turn out to be a hoax like the Columbia University academic with the noose.
Special business cards left near the damaged vehicles contained negative messages about Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain. However, there were positive words about Sen. Hillary Clinton.....
Set up: Vandalize with anti-Obama messages, currying a lot of shock and sympathy and support for candidate Obama. “See how evil conservatives are?”
No? Ya think?
I smell a Rat!
This is the work of liberals.
Where was Larry Johnson last night? PUMA? :)
I’m sorry but “obama smokes crack” is NOT a “hate message”. Sheesh...is anything negative you say about someone now considered hateful?
Hate is a strong word, I wish people would use it correctly, not everytime someone says something they don’t like.
Hillary supporters
Five'll get you eight it was yet another hoax.
