Swastika Painted On Rep. David Scott's Office Door

Rep. David Scott (D-Ga.) was introduced on a Fox News appearance with the announcement that his office had been vandalized. A giant swastika was painted on the door.

"It is very unfortunate," Scott said. "I feel very bad about it."

Fox News said the incident has been reported to Capitol Hill police and that an investigation will be launched immediately.

Video, via Think Progress:

At a turbulent town hall meeting last week, Rep. Scott accused disruptive attendees of being outsiders who "hijacked" the event. Asked about his response on air, Scott explained, "I was standing up for the people of Douglasville. They were disrespected."

This type of propaganda is probably still working...on 12yr olds. Just like the squirrel at the Obama N.H. "rally" for Obamacare that was carrying a gun. Nice plant. Nice earpiece too. Do you really think the secret service/KGB is going to let this happen? This is almost comical.

David Scott is a blue dog Democrat from the racist state of Georgia.

He is flirting with the Confederates for his own benefit, not for the benefit of his constituents.

His healthcare position, by siding with the "boll weevils," is DISCUSTING.

Being on the receiving end of nazism should be a wake up call to the little sell out.

I doubt it, since he finds it personally beneficial.

rather ironic considering he was bragging on CNN that he was a one of the(Ra*hms) Blue Dogs that worked with the Repubs to gut reform.

Where did you get that information? Please provide the link. I saw a clip of one of his Town Hall meetings and he stood up to the Bullies wanting to stop health care reform. He stated that health care reform is needed and needed now. I went to his website and he supported many bills that are for the Middle Class. See website below:

David Scott stood up in front of these people and refused to be bullied. So they snuck back in the middle of the night and demonstrated their ignorance. I hope he stays safe and standing tall.

Well...that is Georgia,....and the Congressman is a "nigra" after all.

I watched him tear into that fake-@$$ doctor whose whole demeanor was disrespectful and challenging.

"Do YOU support a public plan..?," he demanded to know....almost as if public plan = bubonic plague.
The Congressman said yes, then proceeded to let him know he was not about to take over his meeting. Bravo! Later on CNN, the doctor pretended he was just a concerned citizen innocently seeking information.....I nearly gagged. First of all, if he was a doctor of any worth he'd be pro public plan, knowing it would bring healing to many Americans -- his goal, supposedly.

The Congressman stopped him in his tracks....and I applaud the Congressman for doing it.

I saw that and I asked myself if he can do it why are so many other Congressmen/women having such a hard time with these Republicans acting GHETTO!

He was Great!

No matter that the Doctor IS a constituent. No matter that the Doctor HAD called Rep. Scott's office repeatedly to speak with him about health care reform, and that Rep. Scott ignored his calls and would not meet with him. No matter that the session had been opened to questions ON ANY TOPIC.

None of that matters, because to you it's all about r@ce.

Here is the GOP Modus Operandi...

Lie, cheat, steal, intimidate, obfuscate, maim, kill, destroy, dismiss, hate, disrupt, whatever they can get away with and not get arrested. Then they play the victims by claiming that the Democrats are doing whatever despicable act that they themselves are doing. The MSM then airs all of the GOP talking heads claiming the Dems are doing all of these despicable things without challenging any of them. This results in the American public only getting the GOP lies and propaganda while the truth doesn't get even a fraction of the airtime. In this way, the GOP controls the media cycles and their twisted evil lies get repeated over and over and over until the gullible public starts to accept the GOP warped and twisted false reality as the truth.

These tactics were perfected by none other than Adolph Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, and Karl Rove.

Actions like these are the GOP's definition of community organizing.

I have a hard time understanding how anyone other than the executives and shareholders of the private insurance companies could think that our current healthcare system is meeting the needs of the American people. I'm a medical professional myself and support universal health care reform. I've written my Congressman, Senators, and the President on more than one occasion and have also called their offices to voice my support for reform. I've also spent countless hours researching what the best overall way is to bring down long term costs in order to provide everybody accessible and affordable health care. Here's my solutions - http://bit.ly/9QLV8

I read your excellent wrap-up on the causes and solutions for our healthcare problem. I particularly like your suggestions in Part 2. I hope we end up with a healthcare program that resembles your suggestion.

This is horrible. Hopefully they find them and put them in jail.
The Reb. must be so proud.
They need to grow up and stop this hate.
And we wonder why there is so much violance in the country
