OK, suspend all doubt about the Philly incident, it is certainly terrible that there are ASSHOLES and CRIMINALS in the world who do violence to others for their political loyalties... if there are violent acts committed against McCain supporters the SAME has happened to Obama supporters, and all of it is WRONG. But these acts do not flow in one direction.



The Victim, Dube Egwuatu.

A man told today how he was shot three times in a London street for wearing a Barack Obama T-shirt.

Dube Egwuatu was buying a mobile telephone top-up card in an off-licence when the gunman confronted him and glared at the top, which carries an image of the Democrat US presidential candidate underneath the legend 'Believe'.

The man then launched into a tirade of racist slurs, shouting 'I f***ing hate n*****s' and urging 36-year-old Mr Egwuatu to leave the shop with him.

The man then left the shop but when Mr Egwuatu re-emerged, the attacker was waiting for him in broad daylight with a threatening-looking dog and holding a gun behind his back.
