Democratic Party Headquarters Vandalized

From JSOnline's Newswatch:
Viroqua - The Democratic Party headquarters in downtown Viroqua has been vandalized for the second time in less than a month.In an incident discovered Thursday, a racial slur was spray-painted on a sign promoting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Last month someone painted a big red "X" over an Obama campaign sign and wrote "wrong kind of change" below.

Building owner and Democrat Karen Dahl calls the graffiti disappointing. She says it puts the southwest Wisconsin city in a bad light.

The state communications director for the Obama campaign is Phil Walzak. He thanked local law enforcement for their support and said the campaign will continue its focus on issues that matter to Wisconsin voters.

A racial slur. And here I thought, if one was to believe all the right wingers, there is no racism in this election, or that the Democrats were the only ones that were supposed to be playing the race card.

Apparently, this guy didn't get the talking points either.

And with all the outrage going on whenever an army recruiting station gets vandalized, or the continuing references to tire-slashing, I anxiously await for the right wingers to condemn both the would be assassin, as well as the vandalizing thugs.

But while I'm waiting, I won't be holding my breath.

  1. It is wrong whoever did this and it is wrong when the left vandalizes a military recruiting station.
    It's going to be a nasty campaign. The left will use race for those agaisnt Obama, and there will be others on the right who will use race against Obama.
    But to make things clear, just because I oppose Obama, it has nothing about his race, it is about his issues. As well it should be.

  2. Clearly there are jackasses on all sides--and Viroqua (!!) is not exempt.
