On Friday night approx. 25 businesses and dozens of homes had “Fuck McCain” spray painted on them in Gainesville, VA. Gainesville is about 40 miles due west of Wash DC and is a solidly red area. Several homes also received extra treatment with the entire garage door covered with similar obscenities.
Where does this rage come from? How can otherwise decent people look at this type of vandalism and their first words are “Well, my friend in ___________ had their Obama sign stolen.” Sorry, but spraypainting obscenities in 8 foot letters where they can be easily seen by folks and kids in cars does not even come close to stealing a sign. Not to mention the expense now incurred by homeowners, business owners, and probably a few insurance companies to pay out on the damage claims of the worst hit homes.
well intended but hopelessly naive....given the stark political diffeences today and a sharply nearly evenly divided electorate and a shifting demographic set to usurp the power from a traditional voting base of two hundred years I only see things getting worse.

I find this guy hand-wringingly naive, I must say.
Today’s lefties, from Barney Frank, through Pelosi and Reid, and on down to their proteges, the out-of-state students who were just forced to withdraw their illegal ballots in Ohio, are descended in a straight line from both Mao’s Red Guard, and the kind of brutal operatives, (apparatchiks) that Stalin installed after WW2 all over the Eastern Europe he was handed. Look into the history of Romania’s Ceascescu, then imagine someone better dressed, less likely to have to perpetrate literal murder, and just as much aided and abetted by a slick media, and you have today’s Democrats. Look into the entire history of Fanny and Freddy and you have a perfect example of how, through the patented smooth talk of intimidation they are able to get too many people to go along with their socialist designs, and how deftly they managed to cram socialism down our throats, break the system, then demogogue the entire issue as if it the Bush Administration’s fault, and propose themselves, the Socialists, as if THEY are the solution to the collapse they themselves created.
I am dead tired of this nonsense.
Why is that something to cheer?
Whatever happened to that "content of their character rather than colour of their skin" thin? Huh????
NOBODY, least of all supposed conservatives, should give a crap what colour 0bama's or McCain's skin happens to be. That is, by definition, racism.
If 0bama wins, it will mean that we have elected our first uabashed communist infanticidal megalomaniac as president.
There's absolutely NOTHING to cheer about that.
Absurd. Preposterous.
0bama's campaign is the source of "this nastiness".
Well .. if David is expecting things to calm down if Obama gets elected .. he’s got another “think” coming.
It not only WILL NOT CALM DOWN .. the Obama people are already using a policy of “their way or the highway”. It will be payback time .. and I believe every white person and a few non-liberal blacks will be direct targets of reprisals.
One of the first attacks will come against Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and every other “conservative-leaning” person or organization. The Fairness Doctrine is first on the list of legislative events for the new Obama admin. If talk radio goes .. so goes the nation.
This supposed intellectual (David Reinhard) cannot explain what this is all about .. but I can .. Bush didn’t roll over and give the election to Gore in 2000. Even one year later, when the NYT, Washington Post, Miami Herald, Boston Globe (all very liberal newspapers) pooled their money and paid to recount all the votes. An entirely legal thing to do. After all that money and work - what they found out was that Bush STILL WON THE ELECTION .. BUT BY EVEN MORE VOTES than the 537 .
However, the media burried that information - never informing their liberals that BUSH ACTUALLY WON THE ELECTION AND DID NOT STEAL IT .. but instead continued to foment the premise that “Bush stole the election”.
Since that day .. the liberals have had only one goal - GET BACK CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT - AT ANY COST.
If you want a bird’s eye view of how the dems try to steal elections, Bill Sammon wrote a great book, “At Any Cost: How Al Gore Tried to Steal the Election” (Bill traveled with the Gore campaign in 2000). It’s riviting reading - and gives insight into how the democrats view elections - THE DEMS WIN - THE REPUBS LOSE! For the liberals there is no other choice.
Well nice words, but “politics” is more than “just politics” it impacts lives, sometimes ruins them and in some cases resulted in the death of untold numbers, pretty serious in my book.
Tiny “fringe”? I think not. Look at the rage directed at Sarah’s innocent children, look at what they’ve lied about and said about her, Todd and her children, and yet their candidate’s families are untouchable (and should be, I’m not arguing that point, I’m arguing for equal treatment). Look at their rage wherever they appear.
Look at the unbridled rage when she appears, like all the demons of hell have been released and I’m convinced that’s part of the mix too. Look at the unhinged columns written about her, look at the insane, unbalanced “protestors” running around naked on bikes, dressed in weird costumes, the vile signs they hold aloft.
No, this is far bigger and more organized than we think, never underestimate the enemy, always a mistake. These are bedrock issues: murder of the unborn, the confiscation of more of our money, the destruction of our way of life, the inability to vet this candidate, the demonizing of those who pose legitimate questions and concerns about Obama, the list goes on and on and if we reflect we see parallels in history but then again, we need to have read some history.
The author is delusional. With an Obama win, you can kiss you freedom and possibly even your precious life goodbye.
The left has stoked this anger - starting with claiming that the election was stolen from Gore. Gore, unlike Nixon, wouldn’t leave it alone for the good of he country. They’ve had a concerted effort to rile up the country for their own benefit and the election of the marxist Obama would be the culmination of their plans. I don’t think we’ll ever get back to where we were if he is elected. This is it!
Liberals ARE NOT TOLERANT except to themselves and their pet victim groups.
It would be as if we bragged about how tolerant we were - and to prove it we said we were "tolerant" of gun owners, conservatives, right to lifers, small government groups etc.
HAVE YOU EVER MET A LIBERAL WHO WAS TOLERANT OF ANY GROUP THAT WASN'T 'DEMOCRAT"?
NEVER.
We lost the voice of a good man... I understand. When I look at our natural freeper leaders over the years and realize how many have died of highly aggressive cancers, I get scared some times too.
Baghdad Bob had an excuse - there was a boot on his neck. What's MSM's excuse?
What a shame that David Reinhard has been hounded out of publishing because of the left wing nut-roots in Portland.
The Oregonian and the entire region it serves is diminished by this and the people who are responsible for the kind of reprehensible treatment that has been leveled against this man and his family ought to be ashamed, but I know they are rejoicing instead.
Hell no. I intend to treat “the one” with the same repsect the left has treated Bush. That is I’ll be putting “Barack jacked the election” stickers on my car. I will rant endlessly about the state of the economy, the ongoing war, the loss of rights, inflation, etc.
We have seen this hatred and violence for more than twenty years from the leftist environmental community. Portland http://portland.indymedia.org/ and San Francisco http://www.ruckus.org/ are among the worst. Once they have inroads into the Democrat party and gain power, they do everything to “rule” conservatives by destroying traditional economies with regulation and forcing their ideology on conservative areas. Welcome to the world of the rural west.
Liberals just love to hate. It’s what they do. They’re moral relativists and can justify anything they want to do.
Scratch a Liberal, find a Fascist.
So in actual fact the sword IS mightier than the pen.
If he’s really a conservative then he knows darned well what’s going on. The left (Democrats) have morphed into a committed communist movement bent on destroying the republic and all it stands for. Strange as it may be that is somewhat controversial to some of us.
I thinks it's called that river in Africa - "DeNile".
The vast majority, if not 100%, of the hate and violence in this election is coming from the left, but the left continues to whine about the nasty right-wing attacks. The left has become completely Stalinist, and we are in big trouble if we don’t fight back. There’s no such thing as a level playing field.
I see nothing to cheer about if Obama is elected President. He’s unqualified. You don’t vote for someone because of the color of his/her skin. It’s what’s between the ears. It’s integrity, honesty, record, accomplishment, and who’s pulling his strings. In Obama’s case, America’s enemies are doing just that. Fraud, lies, foreign money pumped into his campaign at horrendous amounts. Not to mention the disreputable MSM toadies without the sense to pour sand in a hole. Unbelievable.
