Anti-Obama Vandalism: City Vehicles Spray Painted With Racial Attacks

MyFoxOrlando reports:

The Orlando Police Department found dozens of city owned vehicles vandalized Saturday.

The vandal or vandals appear to have political intentions; most of the vehicles were spray painted with anti Obama sayings, with 'Obama' misspelled several times. Some of their vehicles had their gas caps removed.

Officials said that gas caps were removed from several of the vehicles and they aren't sure if gas was stolen or if something could have been added to the tanks that will damage the engines.

More details from WFTV Orlando:

Phrases including "Obmama smokes crack" and others phrases with racial slurs were written in blue spray paint on the white city cars and trucks.

Other vehicles appeared to have had their gas tanks tampered with.

Along with the paint, hundreds of business cards were left on windshields.

The cards contain criticism of Obama on one side, and support for Hillary Clinton and her family on the other side.

The same cards were left on channel nine vehicles in Daytona Beach several weeks ago.

The vandalism happened the same night the Obama campaign kicked off its Florida organization with parties across the state.

The authorities have arrested someone for this. Why don't you get your facts straight?

[SecretSquirrel666]

What's the usual HuffPo phrase? FALSE FLAG OPERATION!!!

[SharonB]

It is strange the things that a coward will do when they know that no one is looking.

Some of the folks with this kind of attitude sit right next to us at work and we never know it.

[SharonWantsToTalk]

Don't the police have security cameras in their lots?

[KarlRoves3rdchin]

sniff sniff

I don't know, something smells stinky to me

This smells like something the dirty tricksters Roger Stone and Karl Rove would concoct.

Hills racist supporters are leaving no stone unturned in ensuring that she does not get selected for the VP spot.

Some supporters these people are.

The Brown Shirts and white hoods are coming out - this is only the beginning of the racist violence and the politics of intimidation. You can expect right-wing law enforcement and 'pub elected officials to be shocked, shocked I tell you, but ultimately too busy arranging free security for conservative political rallies to do anything of substance, and if anyone is caught they will be characterized as "misguided, high-spirited youths from good Christian families who acknowledge their mistake and deserve a second chance", and 'pub judges will let them off with a slap on the wrist. As someone born and raised in the deep south during the Civil Rights movement I've seen it all before. The conservatives in power will claim they are powerless while reaping the rewards of voter suppression through intimidation and violence. They will even accuse the Obama campaign of staging incidents to sway public opinion. It's all happened before and it will happen again unless we act decisively to put an end to it.

Today, the pro-Hillary pumapac website has a photo of Obama and along it a picture of a vicious growling dog. This is scary. Is there anything we can do? They are definitely inciting violence (and vandalism?) now.

[frappe]

These are the types of actions that I would associate with B-ush's supporters -- violent, fascist, reactionary, and....STUPID.

[loki]

Sounds like a Rove orchestrated campaign. Amazing what Republicans will do.

[hip dibler]

[CEDobson]

LOLOL

[Tommygun264]

Careful, sounds you're writing the script for the next McSame political ad.

[SharonB]

Oh, I agree with you completely! When I decide who to vote for in any election it is the racist coward vandals who sway me over to their side every time.

I really take offense at the fact that the article says they mis-spelled Obama several times... HEY! THey don't know how to spell their own names either, but did you report on that... NOOOO.....!!!!!! How rude!

[ProfessorDuh]

The Republicans, by their own admission, have transformed themselves into a bad brand of dog food. So their little fascist reign of terror-war is over. But we're going to need some BIG pooper scoopers.

I saw on the News last night that one side of the vehicles was anti Obama and the other side was anti McCain. Then, the Vote Clinton card was left there. Anyone else see that news report?

[ProfessorDuh]

Let's face it, by 2008, people who are still Republicans are vermin.

[UnbiasView]

And what does that have to do with Hillary supports acting like children?

[Redrover666]

Nothing at all. He's bored, school doesn't start till September and his boyfriend kicks the crap out of him. This is his outlet.

[indypete]

Come on, UV, you're smarter than that... you know as well as I that it's the work of the right-wing smear machine.

[Redrover666]

That was quite good! Right at the very top of the page, you identified yourself as a dumb-ass. Sort of like a public service. Thank you.

[rabprevent]

WE MUST STAND UNITED AS WE ALL KNOW THAT AS WE NEAR CLOSER TO GETTING RID OF THESE IMBECILES FROM OFFICE, THINGS WILL GET WORSE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER.

VOTE NO TO EVERY REPUB RUNNING FOR ANY OFFICE, EVEN IF IT'S THE POST OFFICE (LOL)

DONATE TO OBAMA TODAY TO FIGHT THE FEAR AND HATE OF THE REPUBS.

[hip dibler]

uh, don't yell at me.

[JTyroler]

So, Orlando doesn't have cameras monitoring the parking lots for city vehicles?

[Trollstakeyourmeds]

Good point. Never thought of that!
