The Republican Party of Wisconsin HQ in West Allis was invaded by supporters of John Kerry yesterday. This release was issued by the WI-GOP:
(MILWAUKEE) – More than 50 demonstrators supporting Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry stormed a Republican campaign office in West Allis at mid-day today, trespassing, creating a disturbance through the use of a bullhorn in the office and then refusing to leave when asked.
The Chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin (RPW) condemned the action by Kerry supporters, and asked the Kerry campaign and the Democrat Party of Wisconsin to do the same.
“Do John Kerry and Wisconsin Democrats really believe this is conduct becoming of a presidential candidate and his campaign?” RPW Chairman Rick Graber asked. “It is unfortunate that Team Kerry feels the need to engage in such childish and obnoxious behavior.
“The President and his campaign will continue to talk about the issues in Wisconsin,” Graber added. “Let’s hope that someday soon, the Kerry campaign and Wisconsin Democrats will join us and put an end to this foolishness.”
Graber called the latest incident part of a disturbing trend of criminal conduct by anti-Bush forces in Wisconsin, pointing to an incident in Madison last week in which Bush-Cheney yard signs were stolen from the yards of three homes. The vandals then used chemicals to burn swastikas into the lawns of the homes, which were within a two-block radius of one another.
In addition, reports of stolen, defaced and damaged Bush-Cheney campaign signs are surfacing throughout Wisconsin.
“Our volunteers, from children to the elderly, have every right to feel safe when they are working on behalf of a cause and candidates they believe in,” Graber commented. “This type of thuggish, intimidating conduct is absolutely unacceptable. It is time for John Kerry, the Wisconsin Democrat party, and Kerry’s campaign leaders, including Gov. James E. Doyle, to put a stop to this shameful behavior.”
We need to keep track of this.
Shots fired into Knoxville RNC office. Some other office had shots fired too.
Orlando (?) office stormed last night by protestors as well.
Redux Vietnam protestors. This is what Kerry does best. Divides the nation.
Mace the brown-shirted little bastards.

It feels like Nov. 1923 Germany all over again.
Dim hate speech is having a bad effect on the unwashed flock. This could easily get out of control. Too bad Kerry seems bent on feeding the dim hate monster instead of acting Presidential.
This happened in Florida last evening as well. Time for Kerry to make a public statement denouncing the trashings by his band of delinquents... when pigs fly...

I couldn't agree more on this needing to be tracked. I'm sure this type of thing is right up the alley of Rush Limbaugh or Bill O'Reilly and they'd love to spotlight the disgusting behavior of Kerry supporters. The major networks would only pick the story up if it were Democratic headquarters being attacked - or if they lost far too many viewers to Fox covering the story!
So much for freedom of choice the dems claim to promote - apparently that only applies if you want to murder a baby.
I don't know whether to become more disgusted, or more fighting mad. This ought to scare decent people.
Wonder how the media would cover the event if some Republicans stormed and trashed a Democrat HQ? Or, how about if some Free Republic members committed the act? Why, either group would make national news instantly and nothing else would be talked about for days. Now, why did I first read about this on Free Republic? Hmmmmm? Hello CBS? CBS? Rather? Hello....
According to an article posted at FR that I read last night (from a Florida Television station), there was a co-ordinated plan (AFL-CIO) to stage ''protests'' at, IIRC, 20 Bush-Cheney HQ's yesterday.
Lurch and Girlie-boy's unbathed brown shirts on the march.
Mace? Pure capsaicin-based spray should be the aerosol of choice. Get real.

I should have known backhoe would be smart enough to save all of these. Thanks.
Exactly - I would not be surprised if this was orchestrated by the "Highest levels" of the RAT party.
Seriesly though, these people are losing their minds. Now, that can mean a few different things: 1) that we are winning and they know it or 2) these people are lunatics to the highest order, where mob rule = democracy.
Intelligent people don't act like this. Thugs do.
