I condemn whomever did this, for whatever reason they did it. And I do not rule out the possibility of a hoax, either.

To top it off, I don’t even like cats...

How do you legibly spray paint the word ‘Liberal’ onto something so small as a cat, anyway?

Practice, practice, practice.

I will gladly drop the hammer on whoever did that.

Ah...not spray paint. A permanent felt-tip marker.

Little cat stencils?

That’s not ‘spray paint’, that looks like dry erase marker or maybe even a Sharpie.

I am guessing the cat simply died, owner took out a sharpie, and then concocted the whole anti-conservative story.

Nobody is going to break into some body’s house to paint liberal on their cat.

It sounds like he killed the cat himself to gain sympathy. Then he realized to blame conservatives he would have to paint something on the cat. There is no way someone could have painted it on a live moving cat.

Notify the liberal MSM, post it everywhere on the web and look for sympathy.

Give me an hour alone with this slime ball. I would have him confessing the true story.

If the pic on this thread is the actual pic it looks like they used a Sharpie.

Anyone that has ever hung around FR for more than a day knows that conservatives like those here love cats.

First, if true, this is sad.

Second, how did someone get a hold of the guy’s cat while he was out with his kids? Did they break into his house — that would be a separate crime. But if they didn’t, how could they have gotten the guy’s cat, he certainly doesn’t let it out to run around on it’s own while he’s away, right?

I wonder if the cat got hit by a car, and the guy decided since it was dead he could use it for his political purposes.

I can’t figure out who on the right would kill a cat, and write “liberal” on it. “Leftie” would be more likely, or “Commie”. And how would someone randomly walking down the street and finding the guy’s cat KNOW that the guy was a liberal — he’s a campaign consultant, not a candidate.

First thing I would have to ask “Why was the cat running around free?”

Maybe the cat was trying to get a free lunch at somebody’s bird feeder and the “Liberal” label was meant for the cat - not the owner.

Man, the Democrats are desperate.

“This was my possum Ricky. You can see where someone killed him and wrote ‘Democra’ on him.”

“Do you think someone tried to write ‘Democrat’ on him?”

“Probably, but we, I mean they, couldn’t fit it all on him. Ricky wasn’t a big possum.”

“Aren’t those tire tracks on him? Is this that dead possum that’s been lying by the side of Highway 42 for the last couple of days?”

“No! No! This is Ricky.....my pet possum! He got those tire tracks because we used to give him back rubs with a spare tire.”

What’s the old saying

“At a liars convention, you can’t swing a dead cat without hittin’ a Democrat.”

Same old, same old.
Like the Security Guards who set fires in order to put them
out and appear heroic. This is actually worse-—it’s designed for immediate political gain.
Wonder if this story will have legs?
T’would be wonderful if it was conclusively judged to be an
incident set up by the guy himself-—he’d lose the animal lovers vote in the blink of an eye, and one more death-by-a-thousand cuts would be (self)-administered to the Democratic Party.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask the usual first question:
“Do you know if he had any enemies who might do a thing like
this?” (insert smiley-face emoticon here)

You would paint it the way you see them painting tee shirts at the mall or flea markets. It is a special air gun. That is dead on accurate no pun intended.

To concur with everyone else here, most certainly the guy did it himself or some other dem did it to “frame” conservatives.

How many times does this happen? Aren’t the odds of this sort of thing, including racist antics, about 100% self-inflicted?

He probably ran over the cat and made this story up to tell his kids.

With that said, if this really happened the “killer” should be bashed over the head until his eyeball pops out.

I don't believe a word of this story. My bet is that the cat got hit by a car and this idiot is trying to cash in. The cat didn't look "spray painted" to me. It looked like someone did it on the fly with a sharpy.

Someone really hates cats to paint “Liberal” on it.
