Kucinich's Cleveland Office Vandalized
Source: Newsnet5

POSTED: 10:59 am EDT August 12, 2007
CLEVELAND -- Police are looking into a case of vandalism at Rep. Dennis Kucnich's Cleveland office.

Officials said that someone busted the office's front window.

Crews have already boarded up the window, with someone writing the words "Strength through peace."

A representative for the presidential candidate said the office was vandalized after Kucinich appeared during a gay rights debate.

4. Didn't Obama's MN campaign office get broken into
a couple months ago? Whatever happened to that?

Or am I just tired?

18. Why?
Where was Karl Rove? Where was June Cleaver? Where was Valdemort? Where were you?!

Seriously, if you are going to spew accusations, please have to courtesy to explain yourself.

And he'll try to pin it on Obama, Clinton, or whomever is doing better in the polls.

8. Who would vandalize his office to make a political statement AGAINST peace?
that just doesn't make sense.

That's like if someone vandalized John Edwards' house and sprayed "Lower the minimum wage" on the side of his house.

Something doesn't add up.

14. I think you misunderstand
or I do (it is late), but the board that covered up the broken window, AFTER it had been broken said "Strength through peace." I can only imagine that a Kucinich staffer wrote it.

9. Imagine if an opposition politician's office was vandalized in a country that the US doesn't like...
We'd be reading about "totalitarianism" in the headlines.

10. Be safe, Dennis
You are saying what needs to be said and you are the only one doing so. I think you have more support than the right wing wants to believe or will report on the corporate controlled media. That makes you dangerous to them and they are they are really dangerous.
You will have my vote for as long as you are in this race. Good luck and be careful out there...for all our sakes.

11. Just so you know...
His Cleveland office isn't in the greatest neighborhood...

There is a lot of construction going on around there...

It very well could have just been some punks out for a "good time"...

16. The mob hates him, thugs hate him...and this spells one thing:
I freaking LOVE him. Keep pissing them off Kucinich. There is no honor higher than to have earned the hatred of evil men. :)

17. Please show your support for DK.

Dennis Kucinich is truly a democratic Democrat. He is the only candidate running for the presidential nomination that I would send a nickel to, and I have sent him $50 twice so far this year. My fervent hope is that he stays safe.

Exposing suppressed, hidden truths usually is a very dangerous task. Especially in our mindlessly violent culture.

Please join me and help amplify his voice calling from the wilderness, that place inhabited by those ignored by our corporate masters' servile media toads and toadettes.

Even if DK is not your first choice he deserves your support even if it is only $5 or $10.

If one of the corporate anointed potential nominees (I'm hoping that you know by now who those are!) somehow appeals to you, save your money, send it to Kucinich, for a just cause that needs the cash, certainly more than your, no doubt, very well financed choice(s).

Support a truly "underground" candidate!!!

It is time for some fundamental changes NOW! The same old baloney is literally killing us all...

Karl Rove must despise him for that one. I think I got the articles of impeachment number right.

36. I hope they check for planted wiretaps
Maybe I'm getting paranoid, but you never know if that's the reason the office was broken into.
