A Hoffman staffer tells NRO that a Hoffman supporter had his tires slashed this afternoon near United Methodist Church on Beakman Street in Plattsburgh. A police report has been filed.

Union goon calling card?

“Nice tires ya got dere. Shame if anyt’ing was t’ HAPPEN t’ ‘em.”

Plattsburgh is a college town. Probably full of leftists professors.

Done by the Democrats or the Republicans?

ARM YOU SELVES WITH VIDEO CAMERA’S PEOPLE

(as well as the old fashiooned shootin’ iron)

[wally_bert]

Maybe bring a friend or two and tag team vote/watch vehicle.

Last I heard, Plattsburgh had a gay mayor. I was stationed there two years and thought it was too cold to be gay.

Oddly enough, Hillary didn't carry Clinton county ( Plattsburgh is the largest town ) in her Senate runs.

"Done by the Democrats or the Republicans?"

Exactly!

[Zathras]

Yep, Union.
Happened all the time many years ago before I grew a brain and left the Union.

It’s just zero’s thugs in training for 2010. Nothing to see here folks, move along.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Look for the union label?

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Union thugs? (sorry for the redundancy)

[Fresh Wind]

Has anyone seen Supreme Solar Allah lately?

[snarkybob]

UPDATE: Anton Troianovski of the Wall Street Journal followed up with the Plattsburgh police on this, and was told that the volunteer actually damaged his tire on a broken bottle.

Good memory. Here it is from 5 years ago.

DFU SONG: Brady Bunch (Supreme Solar Allah, really, slashes tires of GOP vehicles)

Here's the story...Supreme Solar Allah
Friends, I swear to you I didn't coin that name
He had been out playing tricks and slashing tires
That's how he's come to fame

Here's the story...of his mom named Gwen Moore
She had raised him to hate the GOP
She will soon leave to go serve in Congress
Maxine she'll love to see

As we watch this story playing out with interest
We all know just where this thing is gonna go
Supreme Solar Allah was arrested
He's a victim as a black man, don't you know

You ought to know...you ought to know
He's arrested because he's black, you know

I had my tires slashed at a phone bank. They traced the location of the phone calls through Caller ID and snuck in with an X-Acto Knive. Found the blade still stuck in the tire.

Wow. That's an irresponsible question.

IF you were part of the Ohio campaigns (or informed about them) in 2004 and 2008, you know which party is the only perpetrator of violence and vandalism against the other.

Republicans may be mealy mouthed and disingenuous, but vandals?

C'mon!

[Fresh Wind]

LOL!

[KarlInOhio]

There may be some Scozzafava supporters who are very bitter about what happened. I suspect the Dems but I wouldn't put a going away sucker punch past one of the people who nominated Scozzafava.

I consider that nomination to have been far more damaging that a mere set of tires. However it backfired on them and lit a fire under conservatives that might not have been there for 2010.

[ohioWfan]

If it was done by Scozzafava supporters, then they were most likely pro-abortion, pro-high tax, pro-health care gov't takeover, pro-cap and tax.

In other words, Democrats.
