Winona residents find vulgar, hand-written notes on door

By Chris Hubbuch of the Winona Daily News

Last week, as a favor to their 91-year-old neighbor, Cecelia Kleinschmidt, and Veronica and Rick Carpenter put up a John Kerry campaign sign in her yard. Advertisement

Now Kleinschmidt isn't so sure she wants the sign there. Sometime Friday night, someone left a hand-written anti-Democrat note on Kleinschmidt's front door, and she worries that whoever left it might come back.

The note, peppered with homophobic and vulgar language, accused "Dumocraps" of supporting a "world government takeover plan."

Saturday morning, Kleinschmidt brought the note next door to the Carpenters, who had received one of their own earlier in the week.

Although the Carpenters didn't feel personally threatened by the note, they said Kleinschmidt seemed scared by it.

About 25 Winona houses have reported receiving the notes, said Anne Morse of the Winona DFL headquarters. The notes were left sometime late last Tuesday night and again Friday night at houses displaying Kerry/Edwards campaign signs. They appeared between Vine Street and Airport Lake, with the majority clustered around Fifth and Olmstead streets.

1. Man that is exactly the kind of thing the Nazis did to Jews
There's no other way to describe it. That is right out of the Nazi handbook.
It's hard to believe we have come to this.

5. Woman Chased from Bush HQ Because of Friend's Bumper Sticker
Resident says confusion cost her tickets to Republican rally
Bucks County (PA) Courier Times

A Lower Makefield woman said she received a rude awakening Wednesday when she tried to get tickets to see President Bush today in Lower Makefield.

Simi Nischal got a ride with a co-worker to pick up tickets for herself, her husband, Narinder, and their two children. But just as the tickets were about to be placed in her hands, she was escorted from the Yardley gristmill and told to leave, she said.

" 'I deny you the right to attend this rally,' " Nischal said a Bush-Cheney campaign worker told her.

Apparently, Nischal's ride was a Kerry-Edwards supporter. Her car sported a bumper sticker for the Democratic candidates... .. Nischal tearfully recalled Wednesday night, adding that she identified herself and was then refused tickets to the rally and escorted from the building.

Shortly after that, a man wearing a Bush-Cheney T-shirt confronted Nischal in the parking lot and told her to leave.
"He was so rude, he made me feel like a criminal," Nischal said. "I said, 'That's not fair, you are losing a supporter.' , 'We don't care about your support.' "

...She said another co-worker took her back to the gristmill to try to clear up the confusion, but she was again refused tickets...Nischal said her daughter has been learning about the political process at school and has been a Bush supporter. She even picked up papers for her daughter to volunteer for the Bush campaign right before she was kicked out of the gristmill, she said..."
