Swastika carved into green at Lakeville golf course
News 7 Boston ^ | Oct 13, 2009

Posted on 10/13/2009 8:18:48 AM PDT by BAW

LAKEVILLE, Mass -- Police along with the Secret Service are investigating after a local country club discovered a swastika carved into the green.

Lakeville County Club workers discovered the vandalism early Monday morning.

Carved into the green on the 18th hole was a swastika next to President Barack Obama's name.

The vandals snuck in at night and carved their message of hate, according to the owner of the country club.

"We don't know if they did it with some type of cleated shoe, or they had some type of tool and this time of year to have that happen, it's a problem it's much harder to fix now," said Lou Mincone, the assistant manager of the Lakeville Country Club.

Since Massachusetts is full of liberals, odds are it was done by an Obama supporter.

I agree. The Corruptocrats union/race/gender thugs have been doing this kind of crap for the last three months. Remember their attempts at their version of the “Reichstag fire” at the Colorado Corruptocrat HQ? The moonbats were howling about “reich whing haters” until they found out that the perp was one of their own-a “transgendered” leftard whack job.

Interesting...the left turned swastika is actually an old Christian symbol...turned to the right it is a symbol of Nazi Germany and evil...

Another "self-inflicted" hate crime (done by a perceived victim to draw attention away?)

its meaning changes depending on which way it is "turning" (for lack of a better word)... clockwise has one meaning, counterclockwise another meaning. (one means prosperity, IIRC, but I dont remember which one.)

So perhaps the vandals were only wishing Obama prosperity...

You mean it is an old Buddhist symbol. It is certainly not Christian, when turned either to the right or to the left.

In Asian towns, the left-turned symbol adorns hundreds of Buddhist meeting places.

Until 1940, the Swastika was on the (left) shoulder patch of the New Mexico National Guard. Red on a yellow background if the memory cells are correct.

The swastika shows up in a number of Amer-Indian locations.

It isn’t a Nazi swastika. A Nazi swastika points the opposite direction. So, it could have been intended as a good luck wish or charm.

OK, like in the Adam Sandler movie, if you putt down the “I” it will roll down the center of the swirly thing, then bounce down the track into the “A” and, you putt out. This is apparantly just a training tool for poor putters.

Look no further than the Mass DNC chapter for your perps.

Oh, and they will be Buddhist, that's the symbol I often see on The Enlightened One’s forehead. Especially with the I (symbol) O’bama, a good luck wish from a liberal MA Buddhist.

And of that, I have little doubt.

They need people to fear their political opponents (fear being the best of all motivators); and...

They need Marxist Obama to be a VICTIM

That was the original insignia of the (my Dad was one) 45th Infantry Division. The insignia was changed to the "Thunderbird" because of its closeness to the swastika. Dad was a radioman and always had an Indian with him to talk. THEY were the first code talkers.

What do you bet in the end it turns out to be the work of a loony liberal trying to incite violence against ‘The Right’. Consider the political demographics of MA.

Since the other thread got locked, I'll answer you here.

When someone "fakes" a hate crime, that too should be filed as a hate crime.

The "victim" (or agitator) that does the act of vandalism is still trying to terrify the "oppressed" group AS WELL AS trying to silence the "likely culprits" (e.g. The Establishment).

When Democrats try to frame up Republicans that is motivated by HATE. Only thing is, none of the hate crimes codes include "political beliefs" among the religious and sexual beliefs that are protected by hate crimes legislation.

Short version, liberals can openly discriminate against conservatives without recourse (and after the 2004 election, they did, proudly boasting of no Republican work environments and no Republicans allowed hotels).

Such legislation is unconstitutional because it does not treat all people equally.

The only protected political beliefs are Communist. The Hollywood blacklist was "wrong" don't you know? Just because they were Communist working in cells in benefit of Joseph Stalin's USSR didn't mean that they were "bad" people or "unAmeircan". < /sarc >

Here is a old photo of downtown Farmington, NM. I stayed there when it was a hotel back in 1956. I was in Farmington last week and the building is still there.

I also know of another town that has a "Swastika Street".

Lakeville was a strange place when I lived in the area back in the early 80’s, think of Hayden Lake, Idaho. A lot of very strange people who have been there a couple of centuries and have a different view. Then there were the Pink Eyes another story.

But it’s COUNTER-clockwise, so it’s a “good” swastika.
It must have been carved by a Barackist Buddhist monk.

The Allen Family, you could set that to sound. They lived in abandoned buses and shacks in the woods. They claimed Freetown and Lakeville as Ground Zero Allentown.

A pink eye is, at least among us swamper's in NE, is a very inbred, very old family that only marries out when there are no daughters to marry. The Yankee version of a Bubba.

They have no laws, other than their own and they respect no other. It is very strange, I have seen one of their abodes.

Native American basketball team in 1909.

An American Indian symbol carved into a country club golf course on Columbus Day. No doubt about it. This was liberal vandalism.
