McCain Campaign Workers Attacked With Mace

Yet another dose of stupidity to report today. This time from Galax, VA. According to the Galax Gazette, Daniel Cason Meinecke, 29, and Cara Annis Hindman, 26, entered the Republican headquarters in Galax and asked for Obama yard signs.  When Galax Republican Chairman Mike Stevens told them to go up the street to the Democrat headquarters, the couple suggested that the Republican party was stealing signs and storing them at the headquarters.

The situation escalated and Mr. Meinecke started using some choice words, which prompted Mr. Stevens to ask him to leave.  Long story short, Stevens escorted the couple out and Ms. Hindman sprayed him and another volunteer with mace.  She then sprayed mace inside the headquarters.  Both Meinecke and Hindman are under arrest.

We continue to further divide America with this sort of thing.  It’s absolutely stupid!

Skinheads Arrested in Obama Assassination Plot

According to The Smoking Gun, two skinheads were arrested for plotting a killing spree.  Apparently, Daniel Cowart, 20 and Paul Schlesselman, 18, are white supremacists.  They planned to target a mostly African-American school, then go state to state in an effort to rob and kill people.  The final act was to be an assassination attempt on Obama consisting of driving their vehicle towards Obama while firing at him out of the windows.

To top things off, they were planning on wearing white tuxedoes and top hats.  Today must be the day of hatred and idiocy since it seems to be the main things I’m finding to post about today.  Thankfully, ATF has these two in custody under three federal felony charges.

Vandals Attack McCain Supporters’ Homes in Northern VA

Just further proof that partisan politics has gotten way out of hand…  Redstate.com has posted some photos of a vandal attack on the homes of McCain supporters in Northern Virginia.  It’s a shame that one cannot express their political views without risk to their property or even personal safety.

The photos are marked copyrighted, so I’m only going to post the link.  Those who might take offense at foul language might not want to click, the vandals were obviously trying to be vile.  Pictures are here on flickr.

Volunteer Made Up Story About Mutiliation

Yesterday, a woman claimed that she was robbed and mutilated after using an ATM in Pittsburgh.  KDKA is reporting that the woman had inconsistencies in her story and eventually admitted to making the story up.  In a way, this is a good thing (that someone didn’t actually perpetrate this act)… in another, it’s absolutely disgusting that the woman, 20-year-old Ashley Todd, made this story up.

Acts like this are what feed blind partisanship.  It does not further anyone’s campaign, and does not move forward the political discussion.

The woman will face charges.  Police have not yet disclosed what the charges will be.

McCain Volunteer Mutilated in Pittsburgh

A 20-year-old woman was robbed outside an ATM last night in Pittsburgh.  The woman, a McCain volunteer from Texas, says she had just withdrawn money from an ATM.  The robber, reported as a dark-skinned black male, 6′ 4″ and 200 pounds, approached the woman with a knife and took $60 from her.

She retreated to her car, which has McCain stickers on it and the man became agitated.  He punched her in the back of the head, kicked her, pushed her to the ground, and carved the letter ’B’ into her face.  Unfortunately, the attack happened outside of the view of the ATM camera.
