Florida Congressional candidate Eddie Adams Jr. (R) was admitted to Tampa General Hospital Sunday suffering from severe burns on the hands and arms. He will be undergoing additional skin grafts Tuesday.

A vandal tied a mattress to the underside of Mr. Adams pick-up truck. Friction with the road, and contact with the catalytic converter combined to ignite the bedding.

As he drove down Busch Boulevard in Tampa, Florida, onlookers began to wave and shout

What amazed me is the ingenuity of the booby trap, ostensibly deniable, yet very destructive. Whoever did this did not think of this on their own, this was coached in some way, and has been tested elsewhere.

Possible that the report will be kept quiet until they have more to go on. If this pans out as it appears, this is domestic terrorism, pure and simple.

By the way, was he alone in the vehicle when this happened?

Another job for a “community organizer?”

For Chrissy wouldn't that be a "community orgasmizer"?

What kind of sick people have we raised in this country?

IMO, this is what happens when morals and the concept of shame are removed from all public discourse. Yes, there is right and wrong. No, trying to maim, kill or otherwise harm others is NOT funny, cool or in any other way acceptable.

God, help us - and I'm dead serious about that.

This isn't a vandal. This is a saboteur. Hang them high.

Praying for this man and his family. I hope they catch the scum that committed this crime.

Thugs escalating the conflict... nervous yet?

Mission Accomplished, full interiew on air with Eddie. It still ticks me off that it takes jumping up and down and screaming to get the word out, even from a media outlet that is perhaps the friendliest to conservatives. If this had been Obama’s campaign vehicle the FDLE, FBI and the CIA would be all over it, as would MSNBC and the others.
More time has been spent on Sarah Palin’s jacket than this hazing.

I totally agree with your entire post.

The sick people are called the far left and they inhabit the democratic and fringe parties. How many Republicans have been hit these people? I think I could list at least 15 this election season.

Eddie is making inroads and the Voter Plantation owners are wondering if the cocktail circuit party might be over, if not this election, but soon. We are having blacks defect to the Local republican clubs, and the power structure is not pleased.
