'Democrats Far More Aggressive in Seminole County,' Victim Says

LONGWOOD, Fla. -- The home of a Central Florida Republican headquarters manager was shot up and damaged over his support of Sen. John McCain, the man told police.

Rog Coverely said several pellets pierced his Longwood home. Coverely showed several spiderwebbed-holes in the front windows of his home.

The Republican manager said he is convinced he was targeted because of new McCain signs he added around his home.

"All I can tell you is this, I have a very good relationship with my neighbors," Coverely said. "I mow my lawn. The only thing that has changed is I have two McCain signs in my front yard."

Coverely said he has taken about 300 calls concerning stolen or vandalized McCain signs in the area.

"It says this campaign is getting vicious," Coverely said.

Coverely said it appears Democrats are becoming more aggressive in the county.

"I wouldn't say slipping, but I would say the Democrats have become far more aggressive in Seminole County because it is such a heavy Republican area," Coverely said.

Meanwhile, McCain was in Florida on Thursday.

The Republican presidential nominee spoke at Allstar Building Materials in Ormond Beach. Later he'll be in Sarasota for a "Joe the Plumber" bus tour rally at Robarts Arena.

I am feeling the same way I felt on 9/11. This isn’t supposed to happen here.

From Police: McCain Worker Mugged, Attacked, Meanwhile, late this afternooon, the Obama-Biden campaign released a statement, saying: "This is a horrendous act of violence. Our thoughts and prayers are with the young woman for her to make a speedy recovery, and we hope that the person who perpetrated this crime is swiftly apprehended and brought to justice."

OK, good start, now how about calling for an end to this?

Obama’s just following his cousin Raila Odinga’s campaign advice. After all, they support each other.

...Because Obama's Nation of Islam thugs are damned well armed.

I am going to have the bb gun loaded

While I agree, I must add that this is my BB gun:

And the BB's look like this:

I’ll bet the sicko who did this can’t wait to brag to his friends about his “heroic” deeds.

Who’s that? When/where was he attacked?

If McCain/Palin win, the media will see the violent blowback they helped to foster an environment for...

Never mind. While scrolling back down to where I left off, I saw the link. Note to self: don’t speed scroll when tired.

I would love to have them try attacking those of us who live in rural America. I have several things I could use. But my favorite would be a Muzzy Broadhead out of my Browning single cam.

IF they want to fight a coward’s thug war, we would be very happy to step it up into the real thing here in fly-over country.

I have seen some very creepy stickers on ZerO cars.

Watch these clueless protesters that tried to block Gov. Palin's motorcade in Grand Junction CO. This is what we're up against.

Not good enough my FRiend! You need to get a couple of hundred rounds burned through your weapon. Clean it a few times. When trouble comes there will be no OJT.

Hopefully, you will never need to use it, but be ready for the worst. Hope and change is a losers campaign promise, I offer reality when it comes to proper vision of dealing with a left wing kook, if it attacks, and puts you, and yours, in harms way.
