At least they didn't carve a backwards J on their faces?

Yeah, violence over who you vote for. Been happening for a while now.

Any evidence of the culprit?

The only thing here is the victum is blaming Dems again with no evidence.
Yet you will ignore actual recordings of McCain supporters being violent and racist.

Are you freaking kidding me? Threatening a life because of who you vote for? That asshole should lose his/her voting rights if this is true.

The event maybe lasted a minute, two at the most, before police competently managed to hustle the two away from the scene and out of the danger zone. Only FiveThirtyEight tracked the two men down for comment, a quarter mile down the street.
"People were screaming 'Terrorist!' 'Communist!' 'Socialist!'" Sorando said when we caught up with him. "I had a guy tell me he was gonna kill me."

Asked what had precipitated the event, "We were just chanting 'Obama!' and holding our signs. That was it. And the crowd suddenly got crazy."

Clearly there is something very, very wrong with this.

I condemn any threats of violence, but I also question people who go to the "other side's" rally just to stir things up. It was a McCain event - what were those two Obama supporters hoping to accomplish? Did they really think they would change anyone's mind, or were they just looking to cause an incident. I bet the same thing would happen to anyone waving McCain signs at an Obama rally. Anger is bipartisan.

The problem is that this DID happen to Obama supporters, but DID NOT happen to McCain supporters.

I've been to Democratic rallies, and Republicans have shown up to protest. Shit, EVERY TIME Michael Moore shows up somewhere a bunch of Republicans show up to chant at him. They were never threatened. Hell, they were never even kicked out for being obnoxious.

Anger is bipartisan, yes, but the Democrats seem to be more emotionally stable on average.

Yeah or the black reporter who was told to "Sit down boy" or the reporters being kicked at Palin rallies.

Or maybe the black bear that was shot and wrapped in Obama signs.

We all know who's been stirring the pot with this racial and socialist fear-batiing bullshit and it's not Obama's people.

So take your crocodile tears elsewhere.

Let's not forget the Obama effigy in Kentucky, and the lynched Obama effigy in Oregon.

Ah, another koolaid drinker who thinks only those on the other side are being irrational and violent. How often do we see that......

I suppose this was actually done by the homeowner then....

And obviously the owner of the motor home did this...

you have proven yourself to be a racist many times in the past here so this is no surprise. comparing the raw hate on the right side is just not comparable to a couple acts of vandalism from the left. they are all wrong, but can not be compared as anywhere near equal.
