Maybe they did it to themselves to draw attention. Probably not, but I wouldn’t put it past them.

It was the McCain/Palin bus that was shot.

Whose side are you on, anyway?

From the article: "One local man who saw the damage and spoke with the McCain/Palin staffers said the attack(s) had occured in southern New Mexico that same day."

Obama also spoke to the woman who shouted at him.

He was probably getting her name so his thugs could look into her background and print embarrassing *facts* about her in the media....

As much as I didn’t like Kerry, I didn’t think violence was a possibility during the election......cannot say the same about Obama.

Gee, I wonder where the Secret Service was? I would think they would be right on this.

They're still too busy trying to find someone who was reported to have said "Hill him!" at a McCain rally ... too busy to investigate crimes with physical evidence to prove they happened. Besides ... any crimes committed by Democrats in the midst of this campaign are excused anyway.

If this was the Obama bus, we would hear 24/7 about an assassination attempt on Obama !

True that. Fox News hasn't even mentioned this incident yet.

Surprised no images have been made public...Odd.

How about showing the bullet hole and displaying the bullet that must have been embedded in the bus interior after shattering the window. It would seen they have the bullet since they stated it was a .22 round.

In addition, the bus would be a crime scene, and photos and other evidence must be secured.

My public apologies!!! I'm sorry I didn't check out the "to" link on your post. If I had, I would certainly have not questioned your allegiance/motive.

Again -- I apologize...

"The last half of the above sentence is a joke, sort of."

Good for a chuckle as one pumps the handle on the reloading press... '-)

The dems slashed their own tires so they can be the victim.

If this had happened at an Obama rally, it would be front page news until election day and Republicans would be blamed for it because they dared to criticize The One.

The media will blame it happening as a result of Sarah's venomous statements against Obama...wait for it! Blame the victim!
