EXCLUSIVE: .22 Gunshot, paint balls fired at McCain / Palin Straight Talk Express October 19th, 2008

(Sunday, October 19 - Filed by Mark Williams in Raton, New Mexico with the Stop Obama Tour) We learned at this morning’s Stop Obama Rally here that the McCain/Palin Straight Talk Express came through town yesterday. It arrived with a window shattered by a .22 caliber weapon. It had also been hit by an unknown number of paint balls from a paint ball gun or guns. There were reportedly no injuries and neither candidate was on board.

One local man who saw the damage and spoke with the McCain/Palin staffers said the attack(s) had occured in southern New Mexico that same day. The Express is traveling the country independent of the candidates, handing out campaign materials.

Sarah Palin is stumping in of all places Roswell, New Mexico today and then roughly back the way we came with an event at the Henderson, Nevada Pavilion tomorrow and a stop in Elko, Nevada.

Was there at least a police report filed that we can all see? This sounds wild.

Obama people are thugs. Get used to it. They are guilty of the very things they accuse others of.

A rather common pattern.

Indeed, you can get a very good idea of what evil someone is up to by paying attention to what they accuse others of doing.

You can expect the Obamafuhrer to organize street gangs into militias. Initially they will run the drug dealers out of the hood, help little old ladies across the street and be lionized by the MSM. The the gloves will come off and the brownshirts will come on and the Obamafuhrer’s S.A. will be born.

A Big *BUMP* ! for George V . . . even though the MSM do not want to report this significant 'nonevent.'

Did anybody else watch ABC News: This Week with George Stephanopoulos yesterday ? These talking heads were proclaiming an Obama victory by landslide. Our Presidential election is still 15 days away. The whole world has gone crazy and I'm witnessing it happen in real time.

And Obama still has to answer questions about his Hawaiian birth certificate. Then there are questions about signing away his U.S. citizenship. And then potential legal consequences regarding misleading Americans, election fraud and violation of the U.S. Constitution.

yada, yada, yada . . . Or my freeper page.

There should be. In addition, the bus would be a crime scene, and photos and other evidence must be secured.

In addition, shooting at an occupied vehicle is no doubt a felony in New Mexico, that possibly carries a 20 year prison sentence.

The bullet must have been embedded in the bus interior after shattering the window. It would seem they have the bullet since they stated it was a .22 round. But the fact remains, the bus should be considered a crime scene until fully investigated and evidence secured.

"And Obama still has to answer questions about his Hawaiian birth certificate. Then there are questions about signing away his U.S. citizenship."

Don't delude yourself into thinking that either of those questions will be answered by the Obama campaing, nor that the malestream media will even ASK them.

These questions need to be asked and answered by Obama. To the FBI and other investigative agencies. Perhaps under oath in Federal Court. Otherwise, our Constitution is just a piece of paper. Oh, I'm sorry. That was what GWB said.

***Important Question to all: How many folks have you encouraged to go and vote on Nov. 4th? Me? — 23 so far and they are scared of a socialist getting into OUR White House.

I’d love to know if I’m not alone (for the most part) in this VOTE McCain/Palin on NOV 4th CALL. Fact is we the McCain/Palin FOLKS DO have the numbers (silent majority) ONLY IF we cast our votes on Nov 4th — and can’t afford to stay home or be lazy and skip out. We can not let these bottom-feeders (DemRATS) have control of our freedom. Barack Hussein Obama is an empty-suit socialist who will destroy America as we know it.

That explains why McCain is always insisting that Obama is a fair and decent human being.

It’s a strange time, ex-Texan. The very things people have been warned about for years are now coming to pass.

I’ve never thought Obama will win. If there’s enough voter fraud, he may, and he and his gang are working on that.

There has never been such a dangerous and evil man to run for the Presidency.
