Okay - I've kept mum on this, but what's up with the GOP HQ "attacks"?

I see one of these every other day or so, and I'm sick of it. My inclination is to believe that the repukes are doing it to themselves to make us look bad - that would be par for the course. But if there are any of us who have a few drinks too many one night and think it would be fun to trash the local Nazi HQ, DON'T DO IT.

I looked for stories about Kerry HQs being hit and only found examples of signs being stolen or defaced.

But the thing is, even if a dem HQ were hit, much of the media would ignore it.

I would hate for the meme that THEY are more civil to take hold because we all know that they are decidedly NOT.

If you have seen any examples of these attacks on dem HQ, please submit them. It would be nice to have them on and when people bitch to me about "democrats gone wild"

Is it me, or did this whole thing start with that repug guy and his daughter who get their signs torn every election year protesting dem events?

1. Sure sounds like Karl Rove's modus operandi.

4. Absolutely, WE don't operate like that.. We're honest people who have

no reason to operate with violence.

These so-called acts are the calling card of the GOP, like that freak in north carolina who kept pretending he was getting beat up.

5. All of a sudden? Days before the election?

What kind of purpose would that serve? Only one: to turn people off of the Democrats, portraying them as illegal thugs.

8. 'Projection'

we do it, then we accuse you of doing it more. If we hurl enough mud, it'll stick to you.

2. Google "Reichstag" and "fire"

That is all.

7. Dem HQ in Lafayette, LA hit twice

broken into, signs stolen, place trashed

I might find the link for you if you want it. It would be from the Lafayette Advertiser newspaper, and from the Times of Acadiana paper.

9. Self-inflicted damage...

These people are such losers, do not doubt that they are doing it themselves in most cases.

10. I think it's the Nader people!

I know few 2000 Nader voters, but each of them is a truly disturbed individual. Not that they all are, but the ones I've met are.
