Campaign workers attacked
Galax Gazette (VA) ^ | Oct 28, 2008 | By Ben Bomberger

Posted on 10/28/2008 6:04:41 AM PDT by Islander7

Two people were arrested Monday afternoon after an altercation led to five Republican campaign workers being sprayed with Mace at their headquarters in Galax.

Galax Police Chief Rick Clark said officers were dispatched shortly before 1 p.m. to the Galax Republican headquarters on East Grayson Street when a caller reported someone had sprayed office workers with Mace.

Responding officers arrested Daniel Cason Meinecke, 29, and Cara Annis Hindman, 26, both of Galax.

Meinecke was charged with one count of misdemeanor assault, Hindman was charged with five counts of misdemeanor assault.

Galax Republican Chairman Mike Stevens said he was one of the volunteers sprayed. He said a man and woman came into the office and asked for campaign yard signs for the Democratic ticket of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

After being told the Obama-Biden campaign office was up the street, Stevens said, the man said he was aware of that, but that he thought Democratic signs were being stolen and “stashed” at the Republican office.

Stevens told him that nobody there had stolen signs, not were they “stashing” any in the building.

A confrontation escalated and, Stevens said, the man began to use some four-letter words.

Stevens said there were older women in the office and he asked the couple to leave the building.

There is an armed guard inside the door at the Republican office in Columbia, MO.

Tie them both to trees, whip their backs to a bloody pulp, administer salt water washdown of both backs, parade through town after whipping

The writer and editor sure did a good job concealing that it was a Democrat criminal assault on Republican campaign workers.

I think we all will have a rude awakening next week. I was sitting at my favorite Sonny’s restaurant in a booth. In the booth behind me were 3 gentlemen(thugs) and they were talking about how if their man obama loses, it’s all out war in the streets. I don’t know if this will happen, but I think it’s been coming for a long time. I wonder if voters are worried about such a possibility and they are voting obama because of fear of riots and violence. The people that I talked to seem to shy away from the question.

Let's see. On one side we have a group that wants to ban weapons, and on the other side we have a group that loves the 2nd Amendment and weapons.

I hope it doesn't come to that, but I like our chances.

And if it does come to that, it will be the media's fault. They refused to do their job in vetting a Presidential candidate, and they promoted riduculously false assumptions about his likelihood of winning.

I expect Obama to win, unfortunately.

If he does lose, look for riots in several US cities, chaos in Kenya and the UN, the Euros and the Arabs in mourning, along with numerous worldwide editorials on the stupid Americans who squandered their last chance to be citizens of the world.

Look for the Palestinians to rev up the intifada, for al Qaeda to release a new dismal weekend at Binnie's video, and for global condemnation of America. Look for OPEC to give ominous warnings, look for China to disapprove, look for the MSM to cry and scream foul and accuse the Republicans of cheating and voter suppression.

Look for the stock market to go up sharply and for businesses to breath a sigh of relief. Look for ACORN to cry foul and then disappear. Look for Reid and Pelosi and Chavez and Castro to be in a foul drinking mood.

Look for a newly empowered and emboldened Democratic Congress to vow revenge and obstructionism. Look for thousands of stoned MTV voters to say, "Dude, what happened? I was playing WOW and like, the old dude won."

But unfortunately, I fear that we will soon be facing President Obama. I hope I'm wrong.

Make sure the sign post is thick. Mix Vaseline with much Cayenne pepper. Apply to post and frame "Liberally."

The also sell "Skunk Gel."

I hope that your prediction is wrong, also.

The damage wrought by the hostile black racists will be irreversible.

I miss the days of boiling tar and chicken feathers, myself.

For the crimes of fraud and treason, the democrats deserve it.

“...when we see actual brownshirt activity, it is invariably done by the haters on the left.”

Just as when actual voter fraud charges are filed, it is invariably against the left.

Now you're talking. I can rub habenaro peppers on there as well. The hubby will dig the post holes 2-3 feet and we will screw the sign to a 4x4 so they will have to work hard to remove.

Son,

It is not a good thing to go through life looking like Jim Morrison in his Fat and Bloated Stage in Paris before he kicked the bucket.....
