SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Just 5 days before the election, at 3a.m. on October 30th, all of the front windows of the Cindy Sheehan for Congress campaign offices were shattered. Although staffers had been in the office less than an hour earlier, no one was in the building at the time of the incident. No one was hurt and there were no witnesses. Cindy Sheehan is a candidate for Congress in California's 8th Congressional District race against incumbent Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
"It seems to have been a calculated intimidation tactic," said Tiffany Burns, the Cindy for Congress campaign manager. "One of our computers was stolen, but no other property was taken from our offices and no surrounding buildings were targeted. Clearly they wanted to both frighten us and to gather information." Total damage to the campaign office is currently estimated at more than $5,000.
The Cindy for Congress campaign recently chronicled a series of unusual events, including other threats of violence, in a statement issued on October 13th. In that statement, Cindy Sheehan noted "[t]he past few weeks have been a little strange at Cindy for Congress [...] the things that have been happening could just be coincidences, or a run of bad luck, but the climate for the possibility of campaign hanky-panky certainly exists."
Campaign staffers also note each incident, including today's early morning incident, has followed closely on the heels of a confrontation with Cindy Sheehan's opponent Nancy Pelosi. This morning's incident occurred after an on-air confrontation between the two candidates on KQED's public affairs program Forum with Michael Krasny on Wednesday morning.
"Each time we confront her, each time we ask her for a debate, each time we gain ground in the polls, something horrible happens," said Burns. "Once or twice might be a coincidence, but such a consistent correlation is hard to ignore."

Of course there were no witnesses. It could have been an inside and desparate job made to justify the efforts of the "celebutards" who are endorsing her.
Chances are Sheehan had this done for publicity or one of her supporters did it. Pelosi is in NO danger whatever of losing to her.
My first thought too.
Cat Fight!!!!!!!
Oh wait.
Pelosi and Sheehan?
Just get me a couple of buckets, one filled half way with water.
Sheehag is the queen-mother of wacko lefty attention whores. I’d bet any money this is staged...FREE publicity!
Me thinks: Inside job. Pathetic plea for attention.
Probably done by those same "staffers' that were there an hour before.
But Pelosi won't be outdone, she knows how to play the same game. She is after all a far left moonbat democrat as well. No doubt, a hour after Pelosi's last 'staffer' leaves, Her office will be hit in "retaliation".
An inside job?
I’m skeptical.
BOTH sides of this issue are hysterical raving lunatics, but it IS something Pelosi’s goons would do.
Would have been news if you’d posted it LAST night.
Search works fine.
One thing about this election, glass window makers/installers are having a booming economy. I do not remember another election where so much glass has been broken.
Poor Cindy...hates the right and hated by the left...
Maybe somebody should be standing by Pelosi’s office with a video camera to catch the ‘retaliation hit’ live. That would be oh so funny, especially if it was Pelosi herself comitting this fraudulant act.
“Would have been news if you’d posted it LAST night.”
I did search for “Sheehan” before I posted and this title did not come up.
I know the date on the article is yesterday, but I thought it might interest others as it did me because it relates to Pelosi.
That’s what I was thinking.
I wonder if it has ever dawned on Cindy that she is pawn in politics.
Thanks a lot. Now I have Cindy Sheehan and Adult Theater linked in my mind. Its going to take about 10 shots to burn that one out of my brain.
I noticed it said “heavily damaged”. In SF $5,000 is a computer stolen and a plate glass window broken.
