WI: County Dem HQ hit by anti-Obama vandals
9:08 AM
In the midst of a slow national news week, the western Wisconsin city of Viroqua is getting a tiny taste of the spotlight after a Dem Party building was hit by anti-Barack Obama graffiti "in broad daylight, between 4-5 p.m., at one of the busiest times of day on Main Street."
"Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California) knows about it," Karen Dahl, a member of the Vernon County Democratic Party's executive committee, told the local paper. "It didn't take long for this to become nationally known."
Here's an Associated Press description of the damage:
Chief Mark Rahr says someone painted a big red "X'' over an Obama campaign sign and wrote "wrong kind of change" below.Conservative Wisconsin blogger Christian Schneider questioned whether the vandalism was really carried out by fans of McCain.
Over the Obama lettering on the front window, someone wrote "McCain" in white paint and "He's a vet" next to it.
Someone also wrote in red paint "Obama is funded by...." and the letters become illegible.
McCain can barely get conservatives excited enough to vote for him -- what are the chances of a few being so stoked that they'd trash Obama's headquarters?
Plus, do the profiles of "McCain supporter" and "political vandal" really match? How did they get away so quickly in their battery-powered wheelchairs? Who at the home left them unaccounted for?
Then again, the vandalism supposedly took place in mid-afternoon. Just in time to hit the 4:00 fish fry.
