No doubt this is an isolated violent incident.


It couldn't possibly be a harbinger.

The very idea is absurd.

We don’t even know that the man is telling the truth. He’s obviously old and senile. He must be a partisan. Nobody I know would do that, so it must not be true. Have we heard the other person’s side? This is clearly a desperate attempt to distract people. I’m just grasping at straws. The police don’t have anybody in custody. Surely you can find twenty videos of McCain supporters yelling at Obama supporters, which is clearly morally equivalent. What business of his was it what was going on, anyway? Can’t we just discuss the issues? Hey! Sarah Palin is [insert line of the day here]! Hey! John McCain is [insert line of the day here]! No Republican would care if it was happening to Democrats, instead. Not that it happened. It couldn’t happen. It can’t happen here. It can’t happen here. It can’t happen here.

Have I left any out?

Was the alleged vandalizer non-white? If so, then the guy is racist in addition to being a senile fascist trying to deny free speech.

The party of loony left filled with anger is at it all right.

Expect more of this as election gets close

Evidently, this guy stumbled across someone who was doing a lab assignment from an advanced “Get in their faces” class from Camp Obama.

Typical leftist behavior

Honestly, I’m surprised that this is even news.

I wouldn’t even consider putting up a McCain sign in my yard because a lot more than the sign would end up vandalized.

Fellow McCain supporters I know feel exactly the same way, and believe me, this is NOT just an abundance of caution. There is a seriously totalitarian bent to these Obama people that’s frightening.

Does this kind of thing EVER happen in reverse? If so, I’ve never heard of it.

besilentnomore (Diary) Sunday, October 5th at 9:29PM EST (link)

from Portland, I saw a lot of McCain/Palin signs along the highway vandalized. I was quite offended. If I’d had the tools, I would have stopped and fixed them.

I can’t wait until this election is over.

because Conservatives respect people’s property rights AND their freedom of speech.

But they’ll make claims that people in white hoods burned crosses on their lawns because of their Obama signs.

Just wait for it…

I kind of like my car unkeyed and my windows unbroken myself.

In 2004 I was sharing a town house with my future wife and a mutual friend. I suggested that we should each put out a lawn sign for our candidates; she adamantly refused to put out a Kerry sign if it meant having to look at a Bush sign every day. I took this as an indication that we were going to have a tense election cycle.

This one is worse.

McCain sticker on my car – don’t want the keying or other vandalism. It’s a shame, but true. Now if you ask the leftists, they will tell you that it happens to both sides – yes, maybe, but about 100 leftists vandalism acts to 1 from the right…(and they would probably be oddballs – closet leftists)…

One vote the other way, and the individual right to keep and bear arms is history. The Supreme Court has already ruled that it’s okay to limit political speech. I wonder how far we are from combining hate speech and political speech limits to the point where speech that undermines the government can criminalized. Not very far, I would suspect, with a President Obama and a filibuster-proof Democratic majority in the Senate.

We had our yard sign stolen and our McCain-Palin bumper sticker defaced with black ink. Our neighbor saw it happen–she said a car with 4 what she thought were 20-something-year-old guys stopped and did it. To get into our yard anywhere near where the sign was, they had to enter through a gate, so I consider that trespassing. My son’s friend had the same thing happen to his McCain-Palin bumper sticker and his parents had their yard sign stolen.

The day after it happened my 12-year-old daughter was out front getting something and a car with 4 guys went by, pointed at our new yard sign and hollered a bunch of words not worth repeating, but certainly that should not have been said to a 12-year-old child. We’re assuming they were the same guys who stole the sign and decorated our bumper sticker.

This greatly upset our 12-year-old and I told her it was wrong, of course and it would be wrong had it been an obama/biden yard sign.

Obama supporters really think that the election is already over and Obama has already won the election.

They are only trying to clear up election signs to clean the environment. Of course, they would start with the McCain/Palin signs. Obama campaign signs can stay for another 2 months until January 19.

Isn’t it?

As for the bodily assault, it’s like the trooper Wooten. They were only showing the old man the new stuff about self-defense.

In 04 a fire truck came to home next door for false alarm and I was looking out window of my parents place when the fire truck backed into our driveway but when they went to go forward they went right over Bush sign

Trust me they clearly went over the sign cause I was looking out window and a guy was laughing in passenger seat

yes, but...

it doesn’t tend to happen in reverse because the GOP and the conservative movement make a point of kicking the lunatics out of the pool.

that you are going to throw out in a month?

Brilliant. I’m sure the positive publicity for McCain/Palin would be overwhelming.

You should get together with that guy that wanted to sue SNL for making fun of Palin.
Great minds and all.

How do we even know that he has a pacemaker-defibrillator?

Tomlinson Douthat (Diary) Sunday, October 5th at 10:16PM EST (link)

Now, when are we going to get some record of Kenneth Holston’s heart condition from the hospital or the doctor? It’s been over a day now and still nada. Some basic record confirming Holston’s cardiovascular history, EKG, pulse rate and cholesterol levels would be immensely easy to find and release – even off the record – to news organizations. And yet the McCainiacs refuse to even go near it and demonize anyone who dares ask for something that must be extremely well documented and easily found. They have stated on the record that Kenneth Holston was punched in his pacemaker-defibrillator. But they refuse to provide one iota of confirming evidence.

I mean: what’s the problem here? Why is this so hard?

And no, I haven’t let the basic issue of accountability and transparency go. Never. It’s my job.

Yeah. While I’m in favor of defending your own property, this was public property; the response is disproportionate; and I’d appreciate it if you didn’t give people fodder like this (which as the text above suggests, they’ll be happy to if it meant that they didn’t have to think of the long term consequences of their current behavior set).

That being said, having somebody punch you...

Moe Lane (Diary) Sunday, October 5th at 10:21PM EST (link)

…in the pacemaker is a different story altogether. That’s fear-of-life territory.

My apologies to PaRep for my tone. I’m very pro-gun and it provokes me when I see the issue being treated frivolously.

Very easy in Boston. we are the minoroity now.

I hear the kossacks complaining about it

Nick Haynes (Diary) Sunday, October 5th at 11:21PM EST (link)

but yet, I never have met anyone who has complained about it. I have, however, not only heard conservative friends complain about people stealing their signs, but have had it happen to me. Found the plastic part of my “Veterans for McCain” sign lying in my street the other day, had some friends have their signs vandalized, and then found two glass bulbs lying underneath the back of my rear truck tires this morning (found them the hard way, too).

Tar

jimmuy8 (Diary) Monday, October 6th at 4:09PM EST (link)

if you are going to have a sign, you need to buy a tube of tar (the kind that comes in a caulk style tube) and put a nice layer on all the edges. If they are going to touch your sign, they are going to get tar all over themselves–and their precious hybrid.
