Republicans stink (bomb)

A Democratic candidate for Congress in Colorado, Jay Fawcett, had his campaign headquarters stink-bombed overnight.
The office, located in the 700 block of South Tejon Street, was sprayed with chemicals that emitted a smell similar to a skunk, said Lt. Rafael Cintron, Colorado Springs police spokesman.

Fawcett is running for the 5th Congressional District against Republican Doug Lamborn.

"It makes it very difficult to work with gas masks on," Wanda James, campaign manager for Fawcett, said in a written statement. She expects about 200 people to come to the office today and help with the campaign. "However, we are Democrats and we are working through it and getting the office cleaned up."

James said this is the second time Fawcett’s campaign has been under a "skunk" attack. She said the finance director’s car smelled like skunk last Tuesday. The vehicle was parked in front of the El Paso County Republican Office.
Lovely, just lovely. But don't blame the GOP: you're only allowed to blame the specific sinner criminal, who will be prayed for and restored.

Kind of like Henry Kissinger, Mark Foley and Ted Haggard.

Look over there! Hillary Clinton wants to take your guns!

More-- CNN mentioned on air this rather hilarious claim from the Tom Keane Senate campaign in New Jersey that the Democratic campaign broke keys off in their locks and padlocked a door. Funny how long that took to be reported. Maybe the Keane campaign really didn't want to report it immediately, seeing the wisdom of being above the fray, and--oh never mind.

You don't suppose?

Yeah, me too. Of course Republicans would vandalize their own campaign office after the media reports that a Democratic office has been stink bombed. The Republican Party, as an institution, is completely amoral. To them, it's no worse than a deliberate pass interference penalty.
