#3 Fox News had a segment on the vandalism last night. They showed pictures of ransacked Bush/Cheney offices and some pictures of the places where shots had been fired. They also mentioned the injuries suffered by Bush/Cheney workers. Then they went to the Democrat offices that had been "vandalized". The only vandalizim was wrighting on windows. No destroyed equipment, no forced entries by anyone, and they tried to equate the violence done to the Republican offices with the graffiti done to the democrat offices.

#4 Mark, you should have made enough on oil futures by now to afford a large format display. Get to 1600x1200 and stop scrolling. Best way I know to frustrate trolls.

#7 Lord only knows what theyâll do if Bush wins the presidency come November, but you can be sure it will involve swastikas.

I've wondered about that myself. You know if/when Bush wins, every Leftist out there will scream "unfair election!!" If/when he wins, I think this vandalizing will be only the tip of the iceberg. And I'm only saying "if/when" because the race is close right now. Anything can swing in Kerry's favor, which is the scary thing. I disagree with some of Bush's policies, but man, Kerry's only proposed policies are the ones that are popular at the moment.

#8 "Fox News. Bastion of impartiality, and honesty."

Well let's see now CBS,ABC,NBC,PBS,CNN,NYT,LAT
That makes the score somewhere around 7 to 1. I know I've missed some. Thank God for FOX or we would have completely DNC leaning news coverage.

#9 a dem HQ in Ohio was burglarized.

http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20041012/NEWS03/41012016/-1/NEWS

This sort of thing represents the incredible and irrational demonization going on on both sides. OTOH the reaction to it - the holding of all Dems responsible for a few Moveon hot heads, or of all Reps for a few hot heads, is ALSO part of the dynamic of demonization.

Cmon people, we're all Americans. And pretty much all for democracy. Take a deep breath. Take a walk. Whoever wins, we'll still have a country, to build and defend, even if we differ in how to do it.

#10 "..a dem HQ in Ohio was burglarized.."
Somehow I wouldn't put it past the Donks to have self inflicted this themselves. Having said that McAuliffe's response last week to a college group was to make sure no Bush/Cheney signs were around. The Donks have already layed the ground rles on how they will deal with the opposition. Their minions now carry out the orders.

#11 I agree, Liberalhawk. What's going on is not mainstream, but fringe groups. The point I was trying to make is it SEEMS that the more violent attacks have been against the Republicans. This may well change as fringe people become more angry and want revenge. That's something I am concerned about. I'm not accusing the Democrats of wrong-doing here but clearly the AFL/CIO has started a program of intimidation at Republican offices.

#12 The other problem is that among the Democrat elite, the moonbat fringe is becoming the mainstream.

Exhibit A: Michael Moore in a place of honor at the DNC.
Exhibit B: Terry McAwful's many invocations of Haliburton conspiracy theory.
Exhibit C: Democratic Underground and DailyKos, any thread, any day.

I could go on, but you get the point. I feel sorry for the vast majority of Dems, who are decent and reasonable people: my parents, Zell Miller, Liberalhawk, Joe Lieberman. Your party is going nuts before your very eyes.

#14 I disagree with you on this, LH.

Mike has it right. Elevating an imbecilic conspiracy-monger such as Mikey Boy to center stage was a sure sign that the Dem hierarchy sees electoral gold in embracing the Kos/DU idiotarian far left. Perhaps they're just scared, but I will not and cannot vote Democratic again until I see Dems administer Sister Souljah smackdowns to Mikey and the Kos idiots.

#15 Mrs. D, Little graphics take up far less server space but catch the eye :)

'Huper' was the president of the Twit Club, but got booted out for being as liberal dink!
