Graffiti reading "No arms" and a peace sign was spray-painted on the sides of the Chemobile, a truck used for outreach by the College of Chemistry. At least four areas around campus were vandalized this weekend with anti-war slogans.

Vandals target campus with anti-war slogans

Phrases like "Bush lies" and "No arms" were scrawled in spray-paint across objects on campus Sunday afternoon.

(snip)

The phrase "No arms" and a peace symbol were also emblazoned on the sides of the Chemobile, a truck used by the chemistry department for outreach at area high schools and middle schools.

The anti-war graffiti comes just a few days after a visit to Notre Dame by President Bush.

Joseph Bennett, vice president of University Relations, refused to comment on the timing, saying he couldn't speculate on a connection.

1. I'm betting it was done by RW thugs so that Dems will be blamed

It will not have been the first time - we've seen this pattern of dirty tricks before, haven't we?

2. I don't think these tactics

make friends or influence people.

3. If 50,000 protesters showed up, the press would say 'hundreds' ...

... and bury it. If a couple of juvenile delinquents spray paint graffiti, the press sends a photographer and makes it sound like the invasion of the Vandal hordes running amok across Europe. :shrug:

4. Isn't this guy done traveling for a while?

Why the hell does he leave the White House, when he causes such turmoil and devastation wherever he goes.

Here's an example: about 3 years ago, Bush was scheduled to come to Central Oregon to make a speech about increasing logging for his Timber Company cronies. It was going to be a controversial speech.

Just ONE DAY before he was scheduled to arrive, in the VERY SPOT where he was supposed to hold his speech in La Pine Oregon, a mysterious fire broke out. No one knew who did it, people suspected either Eco-terrorists, or Freepers who wanted to prove Bush's point to increase logging.

Meanwhile, the fire did not die out. It continued to burn over several days. It became bigger and bigger. After about 1 week, it merged with another fire and became the Biscuit Fire which became a raging inferno which consumed hundreds of thousands of acres before it was over.

There were photos in the Oregonian, and it was hideous. A photo taken at night as the fire raged, showed flames several hundred feet high, destroying everything in its path.

Just like Bush.

5. A peace sign on the side of a truck?

What else, a newspaper box? This seems like small beer, next to a war that has destroyed hundreds of billions of dollars of property in Iraq. Not to mention tens to hundreds of thousands of people. People should get upset by that vandalism.

The link didn't work for me.
