Republican HQ Manager's Home Shot Up Over McCain Signs

Democrats sure play rough these days.


Republican HQ Manager's Home Shot Up Over McCain Signs
'Democrats Far More Aggressive in Seminole County,' Victim Says
http://www.local6.com/politics/17784129/detail.html

LONGWOOD, Fla. -- The home of a Central Florida Republican headquarters manager was shot up and damaged over his support of Sen. John McCain, the man told police.

Rog Coverely said several pellets pierced his Longwood home. Coverely showed several spiderwebbed-holes in the front windows of his home.

The Republican manager said he is convinced he was targeted because of new McCain signs he added around his home.

"All I can tell you is this, I have a very good relationship with my neighbors," Coverely said. "I mow my lawn. The only thing that has changed is I have two McCain signs in my front yard."

Coverely said he has taken about 300 calls concerning stolen or vandalized McCain signs in the area.

"It says this campaign is getting vicious," Coverely said.

Coverely said it appears Democrats are becoming more aggressive in the county.

"I wouldn't say slipping, but I would say the Democrats have become far more aggressive in Seminole County because it is such a heavy Republican area," Coverely said.

Meanwhile, McCain was in Florida on Thursday.

The Republican presidential nominee spoke at Allstar Building Materials in Ormond Beach. Later he'll be in Sarasota for a "Joe the Plumber" bus tour rally at Robarts Arena.

I don't understand. Why do they feel the need to do these things? Aren't they leading?

They're doing them BECAUSE they're leading.

Wait for Oakland on November 4th in the evening.  And Chicago.  Fires, looting, shooting.  It'll be a regular Palestinian wedding.

At Palestinian weddings they normally shoot only into the air - any bullets descending naturally to hit the revelers are a mere 'accident'.  These guys will shoot at EACH OTHER and their fellow men, actually descending below the level of illiterate Palestinian villagers who did not have the benefits of a proper education.

I thought that when Palestinians fired into the air and the bullet came down in an arc trajectory and killed someone, it magically became an Israeli bullet.

That would be true if all democrats were law-abiding.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

They are, in a sense.

If one pulls out a BB gun and starts shooting at you, and you shoot back at them with a real gun, guess who will be destroyed by the media?

Witness what happened with Obamites throwing a MOLOTOV at someone's McCain sign. Thankfully, they're up for a DD charge, but they got a free pass from the media. If it was the other way around, the media would have made it a top story, and used images of people in white hoods burning crosses for "historical perspective", and you know it.

MSNBC's headline:

McCain campaign manager accused of stealing bullets, also probably a racist.

That is the question isn't it?  I don't think this is near the slam dunk they are thinking.

I just read a story about a 20 year-old McCain vollunteer in Pittsburgh who was mugged as she drew money out of an ATM.  After getting her money, the perp saw a McCain sticker on her car.  So he punched her in the face and then carved a "B" in her cheek with is knife.

Didn't Obama tell his minions to "get in their faces" or something like that?  At least one guy took those instructions litterally.

Lock and load fellas...

I'm just wondering when a group of Republican-leaning "supporters" will start returning the sentiment to millitant Democrats like these?...


...I'm not supporting the concept....just wondering when it will happen....

"These guys will shoot at EACH OTHER..."

Try as I might, I can't actually think of a downside of some inner city thug shooting another inner city thug.

Can anyone?

Yes. Because of what usually happens. They don't even aim. They don't care about bystanders and backstops. They don't even usually hit each other.

When gangstas blaze away at each other, when they do a driveby, it's usually some innocent baby in a nearby house or vehicle who is the one who gets killed. Because they're sociopaths who do not care.

Shooting at store owners to express political anger, as these people sometimes do, has immense downsides.

Well if nothing else there's the time and money involved in investigation and trials.
Also there is the likely increase in support for gun control laws - murder is generally upsetting to people, even if you're not one of those "culture of life" types and the support for gun control laws often come from people worried about such incidents.
