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.

I think the people who did this post here. The PUMA squad.

[genseric13]

How is someone smoking crack a racial attack. Sounds like liberal spin as usual.

[akamplished]

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

For slow trolls that cannot read: "the other phrases had racial slurs"

Are you tweaking? Let us help.

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

There were dozens of vehicles vandalized. You saw a picture of one. The 'others' with racial slurs were not in the picture.

Good luck!

when I think of a "tweaker" in my head I usually picture white trailer trash -- I guess that's racial

[sisterdebmac]

Um, tweaker = methhead = white trailer trash. Crackhead = inner city = black. Two totally different drugs for two totally different populations. Don't you watch The History Channel? ;-)

[Lynette]

Oh yeah I remember Orlando well, deep south, the most open minded ones there include mickey and minny mouse. But wait, America is a racially diverse Country who is NOT prejudiced or bigoted or any of that stuff remember???? Gosh these people must be from mars, because this sort of thing just doesn't happen in America, on no uh, nope nope. And in fact we should love every corner and crevis of this country because the people especially the southern ones give us a reason to just love, love, love, and be proud, damn proud.

[Matt7]

Interesting.

This is the way I heard this story reported midday, too.

By the evening news, they said that there was both anti-Obama AND anti-McCain, but PRO-Clinton graffiti spray painted on the cars.

Interesting.

[pupbayer]

No, really, it's not.

[wordvarc]

.

Yea, 'Interesting.'

Sounds like Bill was partying in Orlando last night! :)

[NTO08]

Interesting is right...one can see very clearly that the intention of the perpetrators was to make Clinton supporters the subject of suspicion, when it is clear that it wasn't them...any idiot can see this ruse.

[jubo]

Yeah but we're talking Clinton supporters....

[olivia]

Some of the comments on her websites, and even on this website, fit right in. I'd like to believe those PUMA people are really Operation Chaos.

She must be so proud of PUMA.

[eden4barack08]

interesting indeed

[BlackbirdHighway]

I guess the next round of polling data will have yet another new demographic: people who base their voting selections on what graffiti is spray painted on police cars by vandals.

[neesy08]

Yes, it was anti Obama and McCain, pro Hillary

[Daisy1111]

Right. A whole bunch of 60 year old women went around vandalizing cars.

[eden4barack08]

huh?

[Trollstakeyourmeds]

LOL, LOL.....

[rosal]

I really don't believe it was Hillary's supporters. This looks like certain people ready to create conflict between Dems. I hope this "people" gets arrested soon. I wonder who they really support.

[eden4barack08]

Shouldn't be too hard to find them. Their favorite hang-out is the FoxTabloidNewsChannel.

[Ivar]

Anyone think of dusting for prints? or do they know how to do that in Fla?

[pupbayer]

They support no one. It was a bunch of drunk hs kids out on a summer evening with nothing to do, I'll bet you.

[AnotherHuddy]

Well, it is Florida.....

[305Rider]

Yup, Northern FL.

[Fair]

The Far Right up to their usual tricks.

[NTO08]

You are undoubtedly right...there seems little likelihood it was Hillary supporters.

[Maezeppa]

If anybody is fooled into believing this vandalism was perpetrated by Hillary Clinton supporters I'll eat my hat.

[eden4barack08]

you're hat's safe this time.

[onedivasinger]

I guess the McCain campaign is more strapped for cash than we think!

[Youth4Obama]

Obama ofcoarse will put up with this crap with his head held high.

[fentondem]

Nope,,,, remembering the repubs love of dirty tricks..it sounds like them smearing Obama and then ,and how convenient, put cards supporting Clinton on these autos where the smearing happened...PLEASE remember what we are dealing with and what they will do to win ..

[shelly4]

I just saw a news clip on CBS that there were also smears against MC painted on those cards. Did anyone else confirm this.

[jimmy2001]

yeah the local news down here (in South FL) is reporting the same thing... anti obama, anti McCain, pro Hillary.

[Anonani]

And this made the national news because?

[SteveStephens]

Good Point Anonani. Florida must not have had their usual number of carjacking this weekend.

[ChiGuy]

If one more of HER supporters here complains about 0 supporters, tell them to read this article.....and to stuff it.

[pupbayer]

What does this story have to do with her supporters?

[ChiGuy]

They are constantly, incessantly complaining about 0's supporter's nastiness.
Yet, correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't heard of any 0 supporters committing criminal acts related to H.i.l.

[jimmy2001]

they assume that it was HRC supporter(s) that did it because it was against BO and Mc and pro HRC

[ghop]

Nothing. The crazy bitter-enders on the other hand....

[neesy08]

It sounds like it was a supporter. Everything was pro Hillary

[eden4barack08]

Don't fall for the obvious.

[kellygrrrl]

sounds like Op Kaos folks to me

Sharp Tools that lot!

[olivia]

I'm starting to believe Operation Chaos and PUMA are one and the same, or at least that there is a huge overlap.

[Lib2daBone]

Where were the highly paid Orlando P.D. when all the city cars were getting trashed? (average pay for cops in Orlando $60K a year) People getting car-jacked and mugged at Church Street Station.. not a cop in sight. Jaywalk or committ a revenue producing traffic violation..... they are all over you like a cheap suit.

[wordvarc]

Seattle Police will make $100K soon.

"Go west young man!"
