Glass smashed at Dems' Denver HQ
Source: Denver Post

Someone threw bricks through the glass door and a window of the Colorado Democratic Party headquarters in west Denver early this morning.

No one was inside the office at 777 Santa Fe Drive when the incident happened. Police said they received the first call about the damage at about 2 a.m.

Sherry Jackson, executive director of the Colorado Democratic Party, was the first person to arrive at work this morning and found the front door boarded up.

A Denver police officer who responded to the destruction arranged the boarding, Jackson said.

"There was no entry — nobody was able to get in," she said. "We found two bricks on the floor of the office."

4. Maybe it was that poor guy who got the date rape drug at the GOP convention.
Isn't he from Denver? That video was all over the place. It may have hurt his feelings. :shrug:

I mean...it's Denver.

12. What was it called in Nazi Germany
?....Kristalnacht?....when the angry Nazi's......stormed the
Jewish stores and smashed the windows?  This country has a
Nazi/fascist segment that is so filled with hatred and anger
that they need to be addressed.

Thank you palin and mcAncient.  You are responsible for your
hoard of brown shirts.

14. Oh my God, I was just visiting a couple of weeks ago and my friends brought
me by the headquarters there. Everyone I talked to in Denver was for Obama. I must have been traveling in a little bubble.

15. McCain has been stepping up their outreach in Colorado.
Edited on Tue Oct-07-08 07:44 PM by intheflow
I'm seeing an increase in McCain/Palin signs on people's yards. And one of Palin's terrorist accusations happened here a couple days ago. I would say a good 80% of the signage I see is for Obama, but with the increased McPalin push, it doesn't surprise me their radical fringe angry base if getting energized here. :(

16. with palin and mccain whipping up the violence
it's not surprising....

anyone else have this pass through their head when they read the post?


Kristallnacht (IPA: ; literally "Crystal night") http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristallnacht

or the Night of Broken Glass was a pogrom in Nazi Germany on November 9–10, 1938. On a single night, 92 Jews were murdered, and 25,000–30,000 were arrested and deported to concentration camps.<1><2> It is often called Novemberpogrom or Reichspogromnacht in German.

The Nazis coordinated an attack on Jewish people and their property in Germany and German-controlled lands as a part of Hitler's anti-Semitic policy.<3>

On November 7, 1938, Herschel Grynszpan, a 17-year old German Jew enraged by his family's expulsion from Germany, walked into the German Embassy in Paris and fired five shots at a junior diplomat, Ernst vom Rath. Two days later, the diplomat died and Germany was in the grip of skillfully orchestrated anti-Jewish violence. In the early hours of November 10, coordinated destruction broke out in cities, towns and villages throughout the Third Reich.

The consequences of this violence were disastrous for the Jews of the Third Reich. In a single night, Kristallnacht saw the destruction of more than 200 Synagogues, and the ransacking of tens of thousands of Jewish businesses and homes. It marked the beginning of the systematic eradication of a people who could trace their ancestry in Germany to Roman times, and served as a prelude to the Holocaust that was to follow.<4><5>

20. Yes, first thing to go through my mind...
The "people" that Palin/McCain are addressing are already very tense with the prospect of having a black president. AND PALIN/MCCAIN KNOW THIS! Every slanderous bit that they lob at these morons will only make them more tense, imo creating potentially a more dangerous environment in this country. That they would willfully participate in this type of behavior IS NOT putting country first. They are endangering us...plain and simple. Despicable, abhorrent, unbelievable! Our country is better than this.

19. This is a clear indication that we are doing everything right.
And no fear-mongering, ignorant, bullying motherfucker is going to intimidate any of us into stopping. Every act like this only hardens our resolve. Every racial epithet and threat of violence crystallizes and amplifies our message.

Their objective has and will always be to subdue us with fear. This is just the low-tech, low-IQ tactic.

We've been busy mastering 21st century media & technology - YouTube, blogging, i-Reporters, realtime streaming video and audio, 24 hour news cycle...

And they are throwing bricks.

We finally are beating the Neanderthals... and they know it.

21. Must suck to have your nose rubbed in your handiwork every day
These people have acted the complete fool and voted against their own best interests for nearly 30 years. Maybe there's still a tiny little piece of functioning grey matter in those skulls that is telling them they may have been played. How could they not be angry? Unfortunately, they're mad at the wrong people.
