What will it take for the media to start covering incidents like this? EXCLUSIVE: .22 Gunshot, paint balls fired at McCain / Palin Straight Talk Express.
(Sunday, October 19 - Filed by Mark Williams in Raton, New Mexico with the Stop Obama Tour) We learned at this morning’s Stop Obama Rally here that the McCain/Palin Straight Talk Express came through town yesterday. It arrived with a window shattered by a .22 caliber weapon. It had also been hit by an unknown number of paint balls from a paint ball gun or guns. There were reportedly no injuries and neither candidate was on board.
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. The Express is traveling the country independent of the candidates, handing out campaign materials.
Hmmmmm

this should be on FOX! Anyone with an address! I am at work cannot send at this time.
nothing to see here....move along.
I thought that Megan McCain had been using the bus and helping with the campaign.
They’re shooting paint balls at McCain and Palin!
Oh wait. Real bullets too.
“It arrived with a window shattered by a .22 caliber weapon.”
Now that’s a different matter.
Why, they’re far too busy reporting other things....like the front-page article in THE TOLEDO BLADE today-”Ohioans Crashing Into Poverty In Growing Numbers Since 2001”, complete with a picture of a guy who got laid off and has a 2-year old Daughter being interviewed outside the food bank. Just a coincidence this would be on the front page now.
Okay, I think I’ll rely on your report. This is too sensational. But, then, we should expect anything.....
It's an intergalactic hub...
“Isn’t Roswell a pretty small town in a remote area?”
Yep! The Aliens, with all of their technology, happened on Roswell in 1947 when they crash landed there, and they haven’t been able to find their way back Since!
“Exclusive” is a quote from the Sac Union.
I think we have our potential “Sore-Loserman” sign for this election.
Can’t blame the media for not publishing a story that didn’t happen.
I thought only Obambi had to be worried.
From the Weekly Standard:

The blog item below was posted by Mark Williams, former talk-radio host turned spokesman for Our Country Deserves Better PAC, a group committed to working against an Obama quest for the presidency. He has been on the group’s Stop Obama tour, which arrived in Raton about a day after a McCain/Palin bus came through, he said. Williams said he heard the story from several residents of Raton, who said the bus had a shattered window when it arrived in town, and that it had been shattered by some kind of shot during its trip up from southern New Mexico, but he never saw the bus.
A Raton Police spokesperson, who said he’s been on his phone all day long with reporters, said if the incident happened, it happened far south of Raton. Several calls to offices south, such as Chavez County Sheriff’s Department and the Roswell Police, however, turned up nothing. Looks like this one is firmly in the debunked rumor pile for now, and not likely to move anytime soon.
Thanks for the update.
