ST. PAUL -- On the same day that someone fired shots into the windows at the Bush/Cheney campaign headquarters in Knoxville, Tennessee, angry Kerry supporters laid siege to the Bush headquarters in St. Paul Minnesota today.
"Today's siege on the Bush/Cheney headquarters in St. Paul was an attempt by Democrats and the Kerry campaign to intimidate voters who were picking up tickets to see the President," said Republican Party of Minnesota State Chair Ron Eibensteiner. "The Minnesota Kerry Campaign and DFL are ruled by an angry mob mentality that has nothing positive to offer Minnesota voters." Today Kerry supporters blocked the entrance to the Bush campaign's Minnesota headquarters with buses and proceeded to rush into the headquarters in a clear attempt to intimidate voters who were picking up tickets to see the President this Saturday.
Eibensteiner called on DFL Chair Mike Erlandson and Kerry's Minnesota campaign to immediately cease these kinds of intimidation tactics.
"Lately, the DFL Party and Kerry Campaign can be best described as Anger Incorporated," said Eibensteiner. "They need to stop their escalation of these intimidation tactics before someone gets hurt."
Eibensteiner pointed out other instances where out-of-control Kerry supporters have intimidated voters. For example, at the Gophers football game last weekend, a Kerry supporter physically assaulted a female College Republican who was handing out flyers supporting the President. In a similar incident, Kerry supporters assaulted College Republicans at the Minnesota State Fair. During the incident, the union members elbowed two College Republicans in the head and threw them to the ground. Also, DFL Party officials have yet to repudiate a bumper sticker, which was handed out from their party headquarters comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler.
"Anger is no substitute for optimistic leadership," said Eibensteiner. "Through their actions, Democrats have shown themselves incapable of governing themselves, much less our nation, during these challenging times."
Make commercials.
Run them on national TV.
Without exposure, these incidents will go unpunished and even unnoticed.
This is typical of the Democratic Party. The political party for thugs and criminals.
I think some of us beefier republicans should be volunteering down there. These a**holes are beginning to p*ss me off.
These are the same kind of tactics that Hitler employed in his rise to power.
Maybe the GOP should start excercising their 2nd amendment rights.
democRATS, the party of tollerance?
These people should be arrested and charged with Sedition.
Why does Kerry allow this?
What color shirts were they wearing - brown or black?
How many of these incidents have there been now? Four, five? A friend of mine who relies on the MSM for news has heard of NONE OF THEM.
Why aren't these thugs being arrested?
Because he thinks it will help ensure his election as President, maybe?
I hope these clowns keep it up. It'll only help Bush.
Are they are using criminal tactics because they are a criminal organization, or they a criminal organization because they are using criminal tactics?
Be careful dems, remenmber the Wellstone memorial.
BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE PARTY OF TOLERANCE
only if it gets reported
You are so right. This is going on all over the place. Without attention being forced into the face of the public it will be treated like small isolate incidents. This is an organized plot of intimidation and the FBI should be all over it.
Why isn't somebody (the ineffectual FEC?) coming down on the Kerry campaign for this kind of crap. Is this even being reported on the MSM? This is just so not right!!!
Don't ya know it's a Karl Rove plot...and just a bank robbery gone wrong.
I agree! This should be in TV ads. It could incense a lot of voters by showing them the Dems' true colors.
So how many states has this happened in now? I've lost count.
