Right-Wing Blogger Tied to Vandalism of Congressional Offices (Including Giffords)
http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/valleyfever/2010/03/right_wing_blogger_tied_to_van.php

A right-wing Southern blogger's responding to the passage of the federal healthcare bill the way a pissed-off 12-year-old might respond when a neighbor hands out crappy Halloween candy.

Mike Vander­boegh of Pinson, Alabama runs a blog called Sipsey Street Irregulars, dedicated to a "strict constructionist, libertarian point of view," and has begun what he's calling "window wars," where he asks citizens to break the office windows of members of Congress who supported the healthcare legislation.

So far, at least three windows have become casualties of this incredibly juvenile war, including the window at the Tucson office of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

2. Perhaps you can post his address here...
for those who might want to drop in and say hello.

4. No, that would be unacceptable behavior.
I am serious here. That's not sarcasm or humor. We don't need to stoop to the level of conservatives here.

5. Say hello to the nice men in dark suits and sunglasse for me, Mike.
They will be seeing you soon.
