Tell ya what Rory... what would you rather have? A swastika burned into your lawn with grass killer... or every cent of your hard-earned retirement fund taken from you by Bush supporters like Ken Lay for instance?

------------------------------------------------------------

Why do I have to choose? Bush had nothing to do with the Enron fiasco.

Smart man! I'd bet ya a thousand bucks that Kerry had nothing to do with the swastika incident either...

Yes but the presumption by the left is that the govt. is ultimatly responsible and should make good on it. This removes all responsibility from the individual. The way the left likes it.

If Kerry would have vandelized someones lawn with a symbol--it would have been the French flag.

UPDATE: Shots fired into Knox Bush/Cheney headquarters

An unknown suspect fired several shots into the Bearden office of the Bush/Cheney re-election campaign Tuesday morning.

The headquarters are located at 4618 Kingston Pike, next to Noveau Classics and in the same shopping plaza as Long's Drugstore.

According to Knoxville Police Department (KPD) officers on the scene Tuesday, it is believed that the two separate shots were fired from a car sometime between 6:30 am and 7:15 am.

One shot shattered the glass in the front door and the other cracked the glass in another of the front doors.

There were no witnesses to the shooting. A customer at a nearby dry cleaning store noticed shattered glass on the sidewalk in front of the headquarters and called police.

Volunteers and staffers at the campaign office say they have no clues as to who might have committed the crime. However, they add that the shooting makes them even more enthusiastic and energized about working for their candidates.

"If I have to sleep here (at the campaign office) now, that's what I'll do," says volunteer Suzanne Dewar.

What wonderful conjecture and conspiracy. Oughta make a great movie. I'm surprised you haven't posted Vance's allegations that the DNC stole the computers from his office. :rolleyes:

Seems the Grand Ol' Parrots can't even protect and secure their own offices. Why should anyone trust them to protect and secure the nation?

Protestors Ransack Bush/Cheney Headquarters In Orlando
2 People Receive Minor Injuries During Protest
------------------------------------------------------------

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A group of protestors stormed and then ransacked a Bush-Cheney headquarters building in Orlando, Fla., Tuesday, according to Local 6 News.

Protestors Storm, Ransack Bush-Cheney Headquarters In Orlando

Local 6 News reported that several people from the group of 100 Orlando protestors face possible assault charges after the group forced their way inside the Republican headquarters office.

While in the building, some of the protestors drew horns and a mustache on a poster of President George W. Bush and poured piles of letters in the office, according to the report.

"We told them to leave, they broke the law," Republican headquarters volunteer Mike Broom said.

Two protestors received minor injuries when the crowd stormed the building, including a Republican volunteer.

One of the protestors said she wanted to send a message.

"We want to send a clear message to Bush, we want him to take his hands off our overtime pay," protestor Esmeralda Heuilar said.

Local 6 News learned that most of the protestors were from the AFL-CIO and were taking part in one of 20 other coordinated protests around the country.

A spokesperson with the AFL-CIO told Local 6 News that the Orlando protest did not go as planned.

A protest similar to Orlando's demonstration was held at a Bush-Cheney office in Miami at the same approximate time, Local 6 News reported.

Sincerely,

The proposed Flag Burning Amendment.


Do you visit reality often tk?

Wow Dan the fall of the Huskies must have you hitting the sauce pretty hard. One little 1 st ammendment example vs a sea of 2nd ammendmant examples.

"Little example" ?

Little like a Blue Whale is little.

You asked for an example, I gave you one. Nothing more to say about it? How 'bout that flag burning amendment?

I cherish and exercise my 2nd Amendment right to 'keep and bear arms'.

Is 'burning the flag' an expression of free speech that someone on this board cherishes and wants the right to exercise?

The 1st Amendment doesn't protect the speech you like, it protects the speech you hate.

Get over it because it works both ways.

Perfectly put.

Pointing out the obvious shows such depth of intellect. Did you guys think that up on your own or did you pick it up somewhere? Can I quote you as the original source or do you have it protected :p

On man's teaspon is another man's pool :p

So do I Rory! Luckily my arms are pretty hairy, so leaving them bare in the winter don't really bug me that much! :p

Seems the obvious is lost on some your radically-right pack-mates. Sometimes a guy's got to break it down to its most elementary form for you to understand.

'Bear' MY BAD


4 Salt,

If I ever fill in for Sean Hannity, you can produce the show and double check my spelling before we go on the air.

You got it Rory! Actually I'm not a spelling stickler at all. The only reason I took a fun little poke at your post is because you were quoting a Constitutional amendment... Your apparent favorite too I presume...

Bush's campaign office in Spokane burglarized, vandalized

By David Postman
Seattle Times chief political reporter


Offices that house President Bush's re-election campaign in Spokane were broken into and vandalized last night, the latest in a string of crimes at Republican offices across the country.
Workers arriving this morning found a hole smashed through the wall from an adjacent, vacant office. Bush campaign officials say a small amount of petty cash is missing and a computer and television had been moved and left near the hole.

"They must have gotten spooked because they ultimately left the computer and TV," said Bill Hyslop, the campaign's chairman for the Fifth Congressional District.

The computer and the TV had recently arrived in Spokane and the computer was loaded with information from the Republican get-out-the vote program.

Spokane police responded this morning and took the computer's monitor and the TV, Hyslop said.

"We obviously have no idea who did this and are not going to cast aspersions," said Hyslop, who served as U.S. attorney in Spokane under President George H.W. Bush.

In Bellevue last week , computers that stored the Republican get-out-the-vote database were stolen in a burglary at the Republican headquarters there . Bush campaign officials believe the break - ins are part of a broader attack on the president's re-election offices around the country, including a burglary in Canton, Ohio, last night, gun shots fired in West Virginia, Florida and Tennessee and union protestors storming offices in three Florida cities and Minneapolis.

There are no suspects in the burglaries or shootings and no injuries were reported.

Because the protests at campaign offices that were stormed were part of organized union demonstrations, Bush campaign chairman Marc Racicot wrote a letter today to AFL-CIO President John Sweeney asking him to call off any future protests.

"In addition to the injuries, property damage and disruption associated with these acts, these events have created a threatening and intimidating atmosphere abhorrent to our democratic process," Racicot wrote.

The Spokane building leased by the state Republican party and serves as the area office for party operations as well as the campaign for the President and other Republican candidates.


Hyslop said that a security guard checked the building at about 6 a.m. today and did not report any disturbance.

But when construction crews working on the adjacent office arrived within 30 minutes later, they noticed the back door of the adjacent office had been pried open from an alleyway.

They also discovered that a hole appeared to have been kicked through the drywall separating the vacant space from the Bush offices. The computer and TV were found near the hole.
