[HipChick]

A dead pig with a Mitt Romney T-shirt was found dumped at a Republican Party campaign office in Manhattan Beach, police said Thursday night.

The dead animal was found early Thursday morning at the GOP office in the 3900 block of Highland Avenue, the Manhattan Beach Police Department said.

The incident was being investigated. No other details were immediately available

1. ewww, not cool.

[loudsue]

2. CSI is on it. CSI: NY are big republican fans.

We'll know by Friday's show who dunnit.

[LynneSin]

5. Except Manhattan Beach is in California

So we'll need CSI:LA folks on it instead

[loudsue]

11. Ooops! Well, then...CSI: LA ??? That would be cool.

And they probably wouldn't care whether a pig was left there or not!

[pinboy3niner]

15. CSI: L.A.--"Duuude! We're really sorry...

...We barbecued the pig BEFORE the lab work--again. But the party was out of sight, man!"

[loudsue]

24. LMAO

[LTR]

13. But they have to be neutral

Best bet is a swing state. Better call CSI Des Moines.

[flamingdem]

3. Well that's creative, if a bit obvious

Dems are feeling their oats these days

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Omigod, I know where that is!

This happened in my town.

Wow. Normally things are quiet here...

[PatSeg]

32. God, I hope so

I wouldn't want to think a Democrat would do something that offensive.

[PatSeg]

38. We were discussing something similar

on another thread where someone nailed a guy's offensive "chair" to his driveway, "Four More Years" written on it. Democrats usually don't act out their frustrations and anger. That tends to happen more on the right. I'm always disturbed when I hear such stories.

Also, the right will take one isolated incident and blow it out of proportion forever, while ignoring the mean-spirited, racist crap republicans do on a regular basis.

[flamingdem]

39. I'm guessing it's a disgruntled Republican who donated to Romney

and now realizes that Rove is a scam artist

[PatSeg]

41. That makes the most sense to me

Sometimes they're slow, but eventually they have to wake up to how they've been used and abused for years (hopefully).

[defacto7]

7. It's just a plant by RW nutballs to counter

the right wing threats that are going around. Gotta make us look bad. Old tactic...

We have no reason to do this shit.

etc. etc...

[flamingdem]

17. It could be a Dem on a bender whose office mates are right wing nutjobs

I could see it leading to this, and the Dem laughing manically the whole time.

[flamingdem]

23. I changed my mind, this is a wingnut type of move

that they hope gets blamed on dems

[CoffeeCat]

22. Actuall...the right wing is on fire with...

...contempt and rage got Karl Rove. Free Republic is burning him in effigy with their online screeds.

Furthermore, the big R donors are pissed as hell at Rove. They were given assurances of a Romney win. They wasted hundreds of millions of dollars. Rove reassured them all the way that Romney will win. He went on Fox nightly with his fantasy numbers from the planet rainbow unicorn.

I think they planned all along to steal OH and FL. So Rove figured he could Di bullshit math and polls up until election night, then steal it with suppression and electronic stealing--which would bear out his fruity numbers. However, the suppression was countered by voters and Dem party leaders who countered the suppression enough to make the electronic vote stealing moot. Obama's leads were insurmountable.

The right is who is pissed at Rove. He failed so many in the Republican apparatus. Rove made promises and gave assurances to some of the most powerful people on the planet. Those assurances hinged on voter machine fraud and suppression being pulled off.

Dems will always despise Rove. We have for many years. This time he pissed off his own kind.

[flamingdem]

26. Interesting, it may be that. We owe a lot to those who waited in line

That was an amazing kind of civil disobedience, not sure why it's not being called that ..

[defacto7]

29. Maybe obedient civil disobedience.

40. Thoreau spent a night in jail because he did not want to

pay taxes for the Mexican/American War.

I believe he wrote an Essay about Civil Disobedience and hence the name of taking action against the country and after one peak over at Wiki, my remembrance of 10th grade honors English came through....



Resistance to Civil Government (Civil Disobedience) is an essay by American transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau that was first published in 1849. In it, Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican–American War.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Disobedience_(Thoreau)



The Civil Rights movement was inspired by this way of non-violent action to change the face of America...

He also termed the phrase, "That government is best which governs least..."

44. They're pretty angry at Boehner, Rush and Fox, too

"We were misled".

Their delusioning is epic.
Poor people with nothing are "takers", but not Romney ($300+ million), Kochs ($50 billion) or Adelson ($2+ billion).

Meanwhile, Repubs outsourced "maker" votes to countries that can't vote for Repubs.

I mean, it's just beyond my fathoming to hear them rant on "Takers and Makers".

I don't think those words means what you think they mean freeps.

[jberryhill]

8. Are they sure if wasn't Sununu? He's been missing

[wrath of medusa]

9. No need to worry

It was just Rush passed out on oxycontin.

[Milliesmom]

10. Oh-Oh

What do you want to bet it was a Republican that did it just to stir up trouble, I don't know of any self respecting Dem that would own a Romney T-shirt or that would kill a poor pig.

[Historic NY]

12. Isn't suppose to be a big dead fish wrapped in newspaper...

sheesh they can't get it right.

[HipChick]

16. I thought it was a horse head on a pillow

[DCKit]

14. One of their own. We don't do that. nt

[pointsoflight]

18. Not cool. Was this is some way directed at Rove? Don't see the connection.

[flamingdem]

21. On Colbert he appears as canned ham .. nt

[Kalidurga]

19. Not the Onion...

I really feel sorry for the Onion staff in election years. They got their work cut out for them.

[budkin]

20. Totally fucked up

[Angry Dragon]

25. I thought this was about rush

[piechartking]

27. Dead fish wrapped in magic underwear/temple garments would be even better...

"It means, Karl Rove sleeps with the Bushes"

[underseasurveyor]

28. That is really not cool!

:

Poor pig

[flamingdem]

30. Any news on "who-dunnit"?

Pig in Romney t-shirt is hard to find when googling.

[City Lights]

31. Yikes!

[coalition_unwilling]

33. Had it been a plastic pig, I'd be laughing my ass off. But no sane person (no Dem) could support

killing an animal, simply to score a political point. Nor, I would submit, would any leftist.

As I think about it, this sounds like a typical College Republican 'false flag' op. Do something odious to your own side and make it look like the other side did it. Hitler did something similar with a German-Polish border post in September, 1939 to justify the German invasion of Poland.

[flamingdem]

35. You could buy a whole pig at the Central Market, and probably a Rmoney t-shirt too!

But it had to be a wingnut to think of dumping it, and one that is MAD with Rove!

[coalition_unwilling]

43. Yeah, I forgot about the Central Market downtown. But the shher waste involved

in so doing should offend any sane progressive, no matter his or her party.

The symbolism of the pig in the Romney shirt? That, I can readily appreciate

[janx]

34. SICK!

It obvious that Republicans are pissed off, but this is truly sick.

[flamingdem]

36. Do you think they are tired of the skits using a canned ham for Rove's head?

Colbert is hilarious with those.

[sadbear]

42. Ham Rove?

Be safe, Ham.

[aletier_v]

45. I doubt if a liberal would have a Romney t-shirt handily nearby

Sounds like RWer losing it.

I can picture them ripping the shirt off, etc.
