SAN FRANCISCO (BCN) – A man who set up a table with political literature and a sign supporting President Obama was attacked in San Francisco’s North Panhandle neighborhood on Monday morning, a police captain said Tuesday.

The attack happened at about 11:30 a.m. Monday in the 1200 block of Fell Street, where the victim, a 29-year-old Daly City man, had set up his table, said Capt. Denis O’Leary of the Police Department’s Park Station.

A man and woman approached the victim, tore one of the signs and shook the table, causing the political literature to fall to the ground.

The suspects also kicked the man in the hand, O’Leary said.

The man and woman, who had dogs with them, fled south on Broderick Street before officers arrived, and haven’t been located, O’Leary said.

The victim said the pair made “no mention of a political affiliation,”

I’m tempted to call BS on this one.

Yes. This is likely a publicity stunt, be wary of many more before the coming election.

Democrats, the party of deceit.

It’s not nice to assault the mentally incompetent.

That's what I thought. WHAT republicans in SF? The 2 or three that live there are probably at work and don't have time to "attack" an Obama supporter. BTW why would an "Obama supporter" waste time setting up a booth in 2011 in SF? It's not like he's going to get less than 95% of the vote there anyway.

I remember being in Boston in 2004 and there were the usual suspects, liberal college students canvassing the streets for Kerry. What a waste of time. Did they really think Bush would win in Massachusetts?

"Were the attackers wearing Los Angeles Dodgers apparel?"

I don't care who you are, that right there's funny!

It’s SF.

How do they know that at the exact moment the couple reached politely for brochures, a small quake didn’t hit, causing the table to shake and the paper to tear, thereby giving the appearance of an “attack”?

The bit about the dogs is the clue.

They ran away, dragging their owners to safety because animals are sensitive to the slightest quakes.

/so there....:-P

It was a set up. All involved were obama disciples.

I call BS.

This is too much like Tawanna Brawley or the lady that painted racial “epithets” on her own car......

Headline is mis-leading. This guy had a Impeach Obama sign. The story says he was a LaRouche supporter.

“Must have been the lone conservative in San Fran..”

“Thats me, and I wasn’t there.
Honest, I swear.
I have an alibi.”

Your attitude is being noted.

Interesting that the assailants were described as Asian.

They aren't given the same journalistic protection as the Amish. It's funny that we now have to read stories like the Russian people used to read Pravda. Don't look at what is in the story, look at what has been left out.
