I am sick to death of reading so many in here bash the McCain followers because of their supposed racist acts. Yet, they aren't willing to say anything about what so many of the ObamaBots do to people out there. I am guessing that it must be ok to them as long as it is an Obama lover that does the deed.

Republican HQ Manager's Home Shot Up Over McCain Signs - Politics News Story - WKMG Orlando (http://www.local6.com/politics/17784129/detail.html - broken link)

Rog Coverely said several pellets pierced his Longwood home. Coverely showed several spiderwebbed-holes in the front windows of his home.

The Republican manager said he is convinced he was targeted because of new McCain signs he added around his home.

"All I can tell you is this, I have a very good relationship with my neighbors," Coverely said. "I mow my lawn. The only thing that has changed is I have two McCain signs in my front yard."

Coverely said he has taken about 300 calls concerning stolen or vandalized McCain signs in the area.

"It says this campaign is getting vicious," Coverely said.
Coverely said it appears Democrats are becoming more aggressive in the county.

"I wouldn't say slipping, but I would say the Democrats have become far more aggressive in Seminole County because it is such a heavy Republican area," Coverely said.

It would be good if they caught the person or persons responsible for this, so they could find out exactly why this was done. Until then, it's all speculation. Of course, that didn't stop the newspaper from jumping to conclusions, did it? There's a lot of that going around.

Oh spiders had time to build webs around the pellet holes before he got around to telling anybody?

Sounds very serious.

I see no proof that it's a racially motivated attack. Where there signs of kill whitey at the guys home?
There's been more than a few incidents nationwide about attacks that involved harm about something related to Obama, related to race.
I still find the act dispicable, however, I see no race motivation, like the OP is trying is mislead folks to believe.

Were other homes with McCain signs in the neighborhood similarly vandalized? Does Mr. Coverely have teenaged kids? I would say assuming that's some leap of judgment.

My car window was recently broken, but it never occurred to me that my Obama/Biden bumper magnet was the culprit. Go figure!

Does anyone know if Barack Obama fired that gun? That's the only information that would make this event relevant to the campaign.
