Vandals spraypaint swastikas on Obama Colorado campaign office

Source: RawStory

KUSA-TV reported Friday that the campaign’s field office in Conifer, Colorado, was found with swastikas spray-painted on it.

According to The Denver Post, a spokesperson for the Johnson County Sheriff’s Department said a deputy answering a vandalism report that morning found three windows and five campaign signs for the president had been vandalized, though he did not know what had been spray-painted on them.

The swastika symbol is widely associated with the Nazi parties and accompanying philosophies like white supremacy.

Conifer is less than 60 miles away from Denver, where a gunshot was fired at an Obama campaign field office Oct. 12. A Denver Police spokesman said the bullet was recovered from inside the office, but he did not have an update on that investigation.

Couple years ago some real brain donors in my neck of the woods did a cross-burning on their neighbours' lawn. That worked out for them exactly as well as you'd expect.

I'm sure there is some vandalism by left-leaning persons....but unless the media is completely silent on it......I believe the majority of vandalism is done by the right. It is a symptom of their mental illness. They cannot help themselves because they are so full of hate and jealousy and envy.

Unfortunately they are not directing those feelings toward those that deserve it - the Mittens Robme, Krotch Brothers and others that have stolen the American dream from this country and invested it in India, China and safe houses around the world.

They are so misinformed and, quite honestly, stupid, they are beyond hope.

They should be spraying swastikas on their own buildings and peace symbols on ours.

Because Obama is the most liberal government official since Mussolini, I suppose.

If they catch these vandals they should send them to the FEMA reeducation camp then force them into an Agenda 21 housing project where they'll live under Sharia' Law.

I'm sorry they found out about our real plan.

The swastikas on the glass are mirror images of the one on the Nazi flag. This is a common error made because right handed people make the first spray paint line from left to right.

Catch a few of these morons and the problem will stop. Right now, they get to do whatever they want with very little risk of getting caught for it.

Conifer has about 14,000 residents spread out -- most properties have two or more acres -- and most the people work in Downtown Denver. All of our friends, of course, are liberals, but there are many, many anti-government types here in southwestern Jefferson County and a boatload of teabillies in Park County to the south. It is very ballsy of the Obama campaign to put a campaign office in Conifer -- and a very good sign that the political demographics here are changing.
