SHORELINE - Ken Potts calls himself a patriot. That's what his front yard tells you too.
Metal American flags are staked in the ivy beside the driveway. A red, white, and blue pinwheel spins near the front sidewalk. One flagpole flies the American flag. A second flagpole carries the banner of the Army's 101st Airborne.
Even his mailbox on North 185th Street in Shoreline sports the image of the Airborne's screaming eagle.
But he says that in the last year the mailbox has been blown up twice with fireworks. The house has been egged. Paint has been thrown on the house too. The flags have been torn down and ripped up more than once.
And the 101st Airborne flag has had the word "murder" and a swastika written on it with a permanent marker.
"It's really difficult for me to see something like this and not feel sad," Potts told us of the vandalism that started around election day last year. Especially, he says, since the 101st led the charge in World War II to defeat Nazi Germany.
But the biggest insult to this house with a permanent Bush-Cheney placard attached to the second story and a collection of mostly Republican election signs in the side yard, is the spray paint someone left on his vinyl siding this past weekend.
...
He installed a security camera that keeps watch over his front yard. And for his own political jab he put an electronic readerboard in a front window. 24 hours a day it says:

I dont think he painted it on his house, I think he is a victim of Democrat Vandals, and the peace loving hippies painted it on his house.
Misread it. I skimmed it and thought he had written it himself like some lefty in California did. I will endeavor to have more coffee before start up. My apologies to Mr. potts and all.
The original addition to the headline -- "Veteran has 'Bush Nazis' painted on house!" -- was easily misread, so I took the liberty of changing it.
If they had a sheriff there who knew his Constitutional duties this would be stopped.
"Liberalism is a mental disorder."
Something tells me that this man is hoping that sign will bring back the idiots who destroyed his property. Good thing he has that video camera to catch them!
I wish I had a neighbor like that. I am surrounded by libs.
Dems will be dems.
"Potts told us of the vandalism that started around election day last year."
Just think of these guys on election day. They were the ones crying on the news. I smile when I think of it.
This is all they can do. The libs are reduced to sneaking around in the dark and destroying people's property.
"I'd mine the yard!"
He needs a big dog. They are dangerous at both ends.
I'd lend him one of mine, but he's still digesting the liberal he ate last week. (just kidding)
Oh...to have ten minutes alone with the vandals...
clap clap clap clap. God bless America!
Like Ann Coulter says...sometimes their instincts get the better of them, and like Dr. Strangelove trying to surpress his Nazi salute, we see what they are really like.
This is Patty Murray's home town. Just shocking that this kind of stuff goes on there. I'd like to hear what she has to say about this travesty.
Thank you. A very good link. Anyone know how to reach this guy? I would like to thank him...I like his attitude!
That house is just a few blocks from where I live. I was blown away when I saw that grafitti job.
It's not Haney's job to determine intent. Thats for the prosecutor. Just arrest the bastards and if the prosecutor drops the ball, hold his/her feet to the fire. Let me guess, the prosecutor is a Rat?
I made a remark about "liberal Democrats" at the dinner table the other night and my "liberal" cousin just went beserk. She was yelling, screaming, pounding the table and then left the room and slammed the door.
Why are "liberals" so un-liberal? Why are they such intolerant fascists? Not very Christian of them.
None of my "liberal" relatives will discuss "politics" with me. What this means is that they just don't want to hear another point of view.
