Protestors Ransack Bush/Cheney Headquarters In Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A group of protestors stormed and then ransacked a Bush-Cheney headquarters building in Orlando, Fla., Tuesday, according to Local 6 News.

Local 6 News reported that several people from the group of 100 Orlando protestors face possible assault charges after the group forced their way inside the Republican headquarters office.

While in the building, some of the protestors drew horns and a mustache on a poster of President George W. Bush and poured piles of letters in the office, according to the report.

"We told them to leave, they broke the law," Republican headquarters volunteer Mike Broom said.

Two protestors received minor injuries when the crowd stormed the building, including a Republican volunteer.

One of the protestors said she wanted to send a message.

"We want to send a clear message to Bush, we want him to take his hands off our overtime pay," protestor Esmeralda Heuilar said.

Local 6 News learned that most of the protestors were from the AFL-CIO and were taking part in one of 20 other coordinated protests around the country.

A spokesperson with the AFL-CIO told Local 6 News that the Orlando protest did not go as planned.

A protest similar to Orlando's demonstration was held at a Bush-Cheney office in Miami at the same approximate time, Local 6 News reported.

Lots of video at the link page (small image though).

Vid footage notes that this was one of 20 cities where AFL- CIO had simulataneous demonstrations, and that there were similar problems in Miami.

Perhaps we're seeing a preview of what conservatives can expect to see more of during a Kerry Administration.

This won't win any votes for Kerry, so I'm tempted to say let'em show their true colors as long as no one gets seriously hurt.

Notice how these break-ins are timed during the debates? After this election is over, I hope a large number of Democrats and activist scum end up serving in prison for the next few elections.

One of the protestors said she wanted to send a message.

The message is that they are ready to riot if they can't steal this election.

Its going to get much worse on the night of Nov 2 and the days afterwards. They will not take the country voting for Bush/Cheney laying down. Watch for protests and violence to errupt in all major cities.

The Democrats have spent the past two years whipping their base up in to foaming at the mouth frenzy. That's why we are seeing headquarters being stormed and shot at, personal property being vandalized, and teachers being fired for displying a picture of the current President. This divide is going to get worse before the Democrat party finally collapses.

Watch for any violence or vandalism done against the Democrats to be played up as something new. The MSM will ignore gunshots and ransackings when done by Dems but anything mildly close to that done by Reps will be exploited by the MSM to taint the President.

Here's some quotes from another article about this.

"Countered South Florida AFL-CIO president Fred Frost: "It was as civil as it gets.'"

"Debra Booth, president of the Central Florida AFL-CIO, described the protest as "peaceful'"

If there are any union members in florida here, you may want to contact these people to let them know what you think.

Debra Booth - Central Florida AFL-CIO (407) 649-8557

Here's an e-mail for Fred Frost's branch

I think that we need to catalogue all of the violence that has been directed at the Bush campaign. It would be a long list, but telling.

Sounds like they are taking lessons from the religion of peace.

First, it's stealing laptops, then shooting out windows. Now it's storming buildings. What's next? Hostage taking or car bombs?

Precisely! The EXACT SAME TACTICS used by the leaders of the Third Reich in order to get their base aroused to commit atrocities in the name of the Partei und Volk. These brownshirt tactics are giving me a cold feeling in the pit of my stomach, and it ain't fear.

They're encoraging the beast in man in order to intimidate and destroy their foes, and to sieze power by any means necessary.

If this is how Kerry and his supporters want the country to be run, they they don't deserve election to any office higher than dog catcher.

Actually, if they are plotting a violent overthrow, they deserve prison or execution.

If anyone knows of a listing of attacks on Republican election/campaign headquarters anywhere in the US, please post it. This information will NOT be diseminated by the MSM. So, we must do so. We must be the voices that spread the word to the sleepy voters so they may know of the NAZI tactics of the modern Demoncrat Party.

Instapundit and Michelle Malkin appear to be taking a particular interest in this.

I e-mailed the story to Insta earlier.

Next incident, I e-mail Michelle and Insta and suggest they accumulate a list.

I'm ASHAMED to say this....but one of my nephews, who resides in Boston and attends Georgetown, is also a PAID member of Kerry's staff and is currently heading a research team to rebutt Republican ads aired in Florida. He is on temporary duty in ORLANDO. IF I find out he had anything to do with this, I'm gonna kick his butt. But I doubt he did. He hails from my ultra liberal sister and I had little influence on his life, being raised in Bahston as he was. But my OTHER nephew...Now, a Bacardi exec, is a hunter and a conservative and an ardent defender of the 2nd Amendment. That's what happens when one makes their little brother the chief babysitter in charge for a decade!

Has this made the national news, or am I asking a really stupid question?

Ya'know, Rush was right. He predicted this sort of behavior back in 1994. He said it would get funnier and funnier the longer these lost souls are out of power. He also did not rule out violence. That was in 1994! Is Rush not the smartest man in the world were liberals are concerned?

The liberals have stopped aiming at their collective foot and are now doing a Cobain.

Love the tagline. Wasn't there some shooting at another Bush campaign office? And in Dane County, Wisconsin, 8 foot swastikas were burned into several lawns that had Bush/Cheney signs.

This actually could be a portend of worse things to come. Dems fight dirty, and are completely emotion-based. Some of them are at the rabid dog stage. I think if Bush wins there will be serious disturbances in various cities around the country from the sore losers, many being as irrational as the Taliban and other Islamofascists. Think it's time to buy a gun and start going to target practice.

You could be right. They're determined to take this election any way they can --- massive fraud seems to be one key way --- you can see that by the number of registrations --- Kerry is no way an exciting enough candidate to get those previously apathetic up out of their seats to go register to vote. There likely will be violence if any attempt is made on election day to have all polls close at the legal time or to keep out fradulent fake ID voters and non-citizens voting --- going from poll-place to poll-place and voting.
