The state campaign headquarters for Sen. Barack Obama was vandalized early this morning in St. Paul.

According to St. Paul Police:

Officers got a call of property damage in the 700 block of Raymond Avenue at about 1:15 a.m. When they arrived, they found two big plate glass windows and a glass door smashed, and paint splattered on the building's exterior and interior.

One person was inside at the time, but was not harmed.

No one is in custody yet,and police ask that anyone with information on the vandalism call 651-291-1111.

2. petulant republican babies
know they can't win so they throw a shit fit.

It means we should keep doing what we're doing
and punch them squarely in the face (metaphorically) at every opportunity.

4. Brownshirts indeed.There will be much more of this
I say we should make sure to have good video monitoring of such locations...Then publicize the HELL out of the connections you know they will find.

The media silence on attacks like this is frankly pretty scarey.
But good honest tactics-that embrace technology?-will win out. These are usefull IDIOTS after all.They will leave a trailof breadcrumbs to Rove's door.

I have seen the right wing using "signals". Obama is "dangerous" is a key phrase intended to incite right to lifers. The whole "infanticide" thing is also a call to arms for the seriously crazy "right to life"bunch. These are the most dangerous,unstable & easily led people on American soil..Yikes!

16. you are right!
we need to get video monitoring companies to donate equipment to the HQ's possibly....The kind where you can't find the tape to destroy.

Violence, petulance, and greed is all they know.

"Lower taxes for me, mommy! I don't want anyone else to get a good education, that's socialism! more for me, mommy! I'm gonna throw stuff at your HQ, cuz I'm jealous -- just think how I'd rule! Oh, you can already see how I'd rule. I throw American troops on the meanies who don't do things me way, Mommy! I don't want to balance a budget. I want my friends to get everything because they will give it all to me! I want more houses and more cars and more money and more and more and more and I don't care who dies, mommy!"

soon, they can add the four walls of a prison cell to that knowledge. And make that one more house for McSame.

7. 'Hate Talkers'.. motivating the losers?..
.. We are lucky these particular terrorists weren't homicidal,,, yet. Never forget the Republican bullies venomous accusations of "unAmerican".. "unpatriotic" ... "traitor" during Iraq 2. Who's unAmerican now?
They seem to want to start a shooting war between Dems and Rep's... right here .. on this land called America. What can we do to defend the Homeland if we have to?

8. Typical Nazi behavior.
Hate crimes like this only make the Bill O'Reilly lines about Move On being the new KKK funnier.

Not that this is funny in any way.
