LONGWOOD, Fla. -- The home of a Central Florida Republican headquarters manager was shot up and damaged over his support of Sen. John McCain, the man told police.
Rog Coverely said several pellets pierced his Longwood home. Coverely showed several spiderwebbed-holes in the front windows of his home.
The Republican manager said he is convinced he was targeted because of new McCain signs he added around his home.
"All I can tell you is this, I have a very good relationship with my neighbors," Coverely said. "I mow my lawn. The only thing that has changed is I have two McCain signs in my front yard."
Coverely said he has taken about 300 calls concerning stolen or vandalized McCain signs in the area.
"It says this campaign is getting vicious," Coverely said.
Coverely said it appears Democrats are becoming more aggressive in the county.
"I wouldn't say slipping but I would say the Democrats have become far more aggressive in Seminole County because it is such a heavy Republican area," Coverely said.
Local 6 has learned that the attorney general's office is getting involved in area investigation and has asked to see police reports of sign vandalism and theft.
Meanwhile, McCain will be in Florida Thursday.
The Republican presidential nominee is speaking at Allstar Building Materials in Ormond Beach. Later he'll be in Sarasota for a "Joe the Plumber" bus tour rally at Robarts Arena.

ACORN must have lots of gangstas among its ranks.
A thinning of the herds?

Heck, you've got a bona-fide whacko poised to be Senator!

“Politics is the religion of the Left”
——Yes, and it’s finally come full circle.
They finally found their Messiah.
They’ve been heading in that direction for a long
time, and found in Clinton their secular “saint”.
Now they’ve found one whose indeterminate “religion”
spreads in a flabby embrace around both Islam and Black
Liberation “Christian” theology, and it suits them fine, and is a perfect fit.
I think this stuff is getting worse because when the GOP ticket is attacked very personally, the press acts like it’s all OK to be uncivil, and says nothing.
Whether it’s the death threats painted on Norm Coleman’s garage, or sign stealing, or “Sarah is a CU__,” or shooting at houses, or the assault on cops by Obama supporters, none of it is worth saying a negative word.
It’s like Giuliani’s explanation of what happens in cities, if you allow graffitti and vandalism to go unchecked, you will have worse crimes. Same thing is happening now.
Well, that too. :(
I guess I should correct the state motto to land of 10,000 flakes, give or take a few million Franken voters.
Nah, he's a white middle class hard working male that happens to be Republican. He doesn't count.
Grim view of things to come if God withholds His mercy on our nation.
Anyone wonder why 0bama opposes the Castle Doctrine?
It makes it dangerous for his “volunteer brownshirts” to operate.
That tells me that Obama’s internal polling indicates that he is losing Minnesota.
some rioting, but significantly less death and suffering than an 0bama win will cause.
Or maybe he is just hitting the others to make it look that way. These people are scum at the lowest levels.
Coming to your neighborhood soon.
Don't piss off The One.
And they affect polling......it only takes a few scared grandmas to throw the polls totally out of whack. For people with tendencies toward paranoia, the Pubbies and Dem voters usually cancel each other out, but this year looks different. The "intimidation" from the press alone is huge.
I've always been one to take polls quite seriously, but there are times when they can be completely unreliable. I think this is one of those times.
The DemoKlan are reverting to their old Kluxer tactics of intimidation and violence.
Hmmmm. Well, the fact that Ellison and Klobuchar were vandalized doesn't point to that for me.
I also think Obama's probably polling pretty well here. It "is" Minnesota, after all. The deep blue cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth will make sure they put 0bama on top, negating all the sane people in outstate areas. Also, ACORN is very active in Minneapolis.
These people are out of control.
Ping!
