Swastika painted at Georgia congressman's office

WASHINGTON – A swastika was found Tuesday painted on a sign outside Rep. David Scott's district office, an act the Georgia Democrat said reflects an increasingly hateful and racist debate over health care and should serve as a reminder for people to tone down their rhetoric.

Scott's staff arrived at his Smyrna, Ga., office Tuesday morning to find the Nazi graffiti emblazoned on a sign bearing the lawmaker's name. The vandalism occurred roughly a week after Scott was involved in a contentious argument over health care at a community meeting.

Scott, who is black, said he also has received mail in recent days that used N-word references to him, and that characterized President Barack Obama as a Marxist.

"We have got to make sure that the symbol of the swastika does not win, that the racial hatred that's bubbling up does not win this debate," Scott said in a telephone interview. "There's so much hatred out there for President (Barack) Obama."

Scott angrily yelled at protesters who peppered him with questions and complaints about Democratic health care proposals.

He probably painted the swastika on his own sign.

I saw Nancy Pelosi carrying a can of black spray paint yesterday. Maybe she should be reported to flag@whitehouse.gov .

Yes, the left is famous for manufacturing their own “victimization.”

He wouldn’t get his hands dirty. More likely an SEIU goon did the dirty work.

I’m thinking like you. A union thug did the deed. However, there aren’t too many union thugs down in Georgia, are there??

"Scott, who is black, said he also has received mail in recent days that used N-word references to him, and that characterized President Barack Obama as a Marxist."

There is that connection again the media uses to join the word "Marxist" as a racial slur. Marxist... the new "N-Word" according to some media examples.

In an earlier thread by a different source it said the sign was 4’ x 4’ and implied it was inside the office.....Better get the story straight.....FBI should be involved...check to see if the paint used can be traced and then check the local stores to see who bought it....

BS par excellance! Typical lib tactic of desperation: Paint a hate symbol and blame the “right wingers”.

Losers.

“He probably painted the swastika on his own sign”. Makes lots of sense. The swastika just happened to show up after nazi pelosi makes her statement and the dimrats are in real trouble with their deathcare plans. If it quacks like a duck....

“There’s so much hatred out there for President (Barack) Obama.”

I didn’t realize Obama was jewish.
You certainly wouldn’t have known
from his treatment of Israel.

Has there ever been one of these incidents which did not turn out to have been the liberal themselves, who actually did the (whatever deed it was)?

I so suspect the democrat himself.

Smells like such total bs.
