GOP headquarters vandalized in political protest

By WALT WILLIAMS Chronicle Staff Writer

The headquarters of the Gallatin County Republicans was vandalized early Friday morning in a crime one Republican called an "act of terror."

An unknown vandal or vandals spray-painted peace signs on the windows and anti-Bush messages on the outside walls. A rock was thrown through a double-paned window next to the main entrance to the building, and the front door was coated with eggs and possibly cottage cheese.

----Snip----

The Democrats had their headquarters' sign torn down and stolen a few weeks ago, but it was eventually recovered. Otherwise that building has been left untouched.

County Democratic co-chair Brady Wiseman called on whoever committed the vandalism to stop immediately.

1. Bullshit false flag op done by desperate publicans.

Crap.

2. Boo hoo...

Remind me why the fuck I should care.

[MaineDem]

3. We moved into our county office today

I'm a bit concerned about it remaining intact.

There were reports the other day of Dem offices in MI and PA, I think, being vandalized. I think it's terrible that either party's locations are vandalized. It's not a good sign.

4. Reichstag Fire

that's all I have to say.

5. We should denounce that kind of behavior

It cheapens us because people associate it with the Democratic Party and it's supporters.

7. The local Dems did denounce it

It's in the article.

14. I meant every Democrat

in the Country should denounce it.

[Ediacara]

15. Well I'm a Democrat in Gallatin County and I am denouncing it

Happy? :-)

16. Never Mind

You Missed the Point since it was not directed at you. Read some of the posts about this story.

17. Ack, sorry

I misread CountRy for County. Sorry!

20. Oh, stop being such a good Cub Scout

Sure, vandalism's naughty. And you get a ribbon for pointing that out. But worrying about Republicans is a job best left to them.

They don't worry about us, now, do they? Not economically; not culturally; not even democratically as evidenced by their avidness to steal and rig elections.

And you're waving a self-righteous finger about their travails? If you get any more noble, we'll all have to weep in a circle.

10. The local dem party did denounce it

Both our local congressional candidate Tracy Velazquez, and our county chair Brady Wiseman.

The Dem HQ has been vandalized already this cycle.

I think it's hilarious that this is refered to as terrorism though..... I guess al Qaida's next move is a huge cottage cheese buy...

Spray-painted peace signs and cottage cheese?

Vandalism is, well, vandalism.

9. I wonder if they'll agree that this, too, is an act of terror:

STATE COLLEGE - Centre County Democratic Headquarters was vandalized late Tuesday when someone smashed the thick, tempered glass in the building's storefront window, causing about $3,000 worth of damage.

According to State College police Cpl. Mark Argiro, witnesses in the 300 block of Calder Way heard the window break and saw a white Ford Tempo carrying three men leaving the area.

Investigators will review surveillance tapes taken by cameras posted on Beaver Avenue from McAllister Street to Hiester Street, in hopes that the white car seen leaving the area was caught on tape. If it was, police can attempt to identify the license plate, Argiro said.

Joanne Tosti-Vasey said she was working alone at 9:32 p.m. in the headquarters at 236 East Calder Way when she heard "a loud thud and a boom and (the glass) fell."

It's worth noting that in this case the building was occupied and the perpetrator could actually have harmed someone.

11. Is that you, Karl?

Remember how Karl Rove planted a bug in his own office so it could be discovered?

Stupid tricks. There will probably be one incident in each state.

12. Remember when the Repukes and Freepers tried to claim that

the attack on Al Sharpton's HQ was perpetrated by none other than Al Sharpton himself?

Methinks this smells of "Oh, look what those terrible liberals have done!" when there wasn't a liberal for miles. A.K.A. - self-inflicted.

13. "whoever committed the vandalism to stop immediately"

Looks like they already did.

18. Where the fuck is G. Gordon Liddy right now? Hanging with Ashcroft?

This is a Reichstag-like tactic.

I was born a flower-child. We know that peaceful people NEVER write peace signs and then commit an act of violence.

19. Three guesses as to who pulled that off. Typical GOP activity.

21. A sign of the coming civil war - or Karl up to his old tricks? nt

22. I read on DU yesterday that 2 Dem Hdq's were vandalized.

Large window broken (cost $3,000), and I forget the other damage. Maybe this is just payback.
