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.

Good heavens. Thank you ETL.
Since it was pellet guns the damage is cheaper to repair?
Thugs.
Unbelievable!
I don’t think the Obama brownshirts will cause violence on election day until late in the evening when the results start coming in. I hate ‘early voting’ too btw, it gives the fraudsters too much time to tinker with the votes.
Interesting. I just called my local Republican PArty office to ask about one of the amendments that I couldn’t wrap my head around- got some clarification and the we started chatting.
ACORN is at ALL of our early voting places- she said they’re coming in here by the busload.
They’re receiving dozens of calls every day about vandalism on signs and cars.
She strongly encouraged early voting this year. And she’s never recommended it before.
I guess that you didn’t bother to read the story.
The ACORN crowd realizes that an Obama win will mean a huge payoff, while a McCain/Palin win may mean US Attorneys will be indicting them.
Things will get uglier as Nov 4 approaches. Count on it.
Now that’s a funny clip!
We’re seeing more and more violence from these left-wing thugs. Anyone who thinks Marxists are not angry and dangerous children only need to study the history of Marxists.
I read the whole story.
I like your tag line!!! :)
If anyone can provide quick links to VIDEO of anything showing violence or intimidation, or news video reporting on such incidents, please private reply to me with the links.
The Dhims are just taking lessons from Che Gueverra and Fidel.
Soon they will kidnap children of the “opposition” -— and it will get worse until we are silent.
I wasn’t aware that the guy in this story was a cop or Secret Service. And none of the cops I know wear bulletproof vests when they mow the grass.
As for his home being shot up, I have no idea who did it and, really, neither does he. For all we know, he did it.
Repub HQ manager’s home shot up.
McCain’s campaign bus shot up.
Why don’t these make the evening MSM news?
