Did Freepers vandalize Obama Texas HQ? (Racits!)

[Bennyboy]

A weekend rally for Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama was supposed
to leave a hopeful tone in Longview, Texas.

Instead, it left a sour note as vandals spray-painted racial slurs outside the campaign headquarters.

1. I'm sure the hopeful tone and enthusiasm of the rally...

Far outshone the nastiness of a couple creeps.

2. Bigots and bad spellers

I agree with Mr. Johnson of the article: It's simply ignorance.

11. I don't know ... ignorance has a cure ...

stupidity is fatal ... and stupidity is refusing to fight ignorance ...

3. And Barack should be right outside the offending building....

using it as a backdrop.....as a visual and to speak for racial tolerance and how this is NOT america. But, I can see the other side too....that it would only advertise and promote intolerance. I dont really know what should be done about this, other than the legal pursuit of the perps.

4. What am I missing here? Who is being called "a racist."

This article is very confusing. It sounds like the phone center and its personnel are being called racists.

5. Yeah, it's confusing. Ya can't win with some people - if you're against him

6. If you are black, voting for a black is "racits";

you should vote for the white guy, like everyone else.

This is oppressed white bigot logic.

7. I'm going to go out and limb and say it was probably...

white people.
