HAGERSTOWN, MD - A Hagerstown family opened their front door Tuesday morning and made a disturbing discovery.

Darrel Fowler was on his way out to work early in the morning when he noticed swastikas and racial comments all over the door of his family's apartment at Pangborn Heights on Lynnehaven Drive.

The Fowlers have an Obama sticker on their door, so police believe that may have been the vandals' target.

We saw the first shot fired, then a second volley. It now appears that the attacks will be coming rapid fire, too often to keep count. This could be a particularly heavy year for attacks on Obama Supporters, possibly encouraged by McCain's loss on November 4th.

Oh yeah, now I know what it is. Imitation is the best form of flattery.

Why did you link to a private message that nobody can view?

Oops, I had too many windows open and apparently copied and pasted the link from the wrong window. Here is the one I was trying to link:

Try to keep this thread on topic please, this is about the War on Obama supporters.

Kind of hard to when it is apparent that the purpose of this thread is to mock a thread that was post earlier.

You are saying you came up with the wording you used and this thread is not intended to mock another one? Let's compare:

Earlier thread wording (thread posted at 11:59 today): We saw the first shot fired, then a second volley. It now appears that the attacks will be coming rapid fire, too often to keep count. This could be a particularly heavy year for attacks on Christmas, possibly encouraged by the Obama election

This thread (thread posted at 12:42 today and you, sphere, posted on it): We saw the first shot fired, then a second volley. It now appears that the attacks will be coming rapid fire, too often to keep count. This could be a particularly heavy year for attacks on Obama Supporters, possibly encouraged by McCain's loss on November 4th.

They are also targeting people based on their race and religion.

Staten Island Teen: Gang beat me while shouting 'Obama'

Is there no end to these attacks? I fear they will continue as we reach Inauguration Day.

I specifically made the decision months ago not to have an Obama car stickers or anything near my house because I had no doubt this kind of stuff was going to surface.

Thankfully here in CA we have not had this type of division.

Yes, I heard of that. Interestingly enough, about two weeks ago there was a similar event that took place in California. Where two gang members beat a black man outside a liquor store..

Mancillas and Carbajal followed him into the store, prosecutors say, and Mancillas punched the man in the mouth while yelling they "didn't like (racial epithet)," and "(expletive) Obama and (expletive-racial epithet)."

Probably a smart move on your part. As we have seen, Obama supporters are under siege.

PLEASANTON (BCN) ― Pleasanton police are investigating a case of serious vandalism that occurred at the home of a Barack Obama supporter.

Vandals descended on a family's home on Kern Court in Pleasanton early Wednesday morning, where a lawn sign supporting the president-elect was slashed and the words "he sucks" were spray-painted on the garage.

I remember some folk claiming that racism isn't a problem in the US. This was in June if I recal correctly. yea, riiiiggghht.

Obama's victory brings surge in hate crimes

The landmark election of Barack Obama as the first African-American President has provoked a surge in hate crimes against ethnic minorities and blacks in the United States, civil rights groups have said.

White extremist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan, is emerging from decades of obscurity, with hundreds of hate-related incidents reported since the election of Obama to the White House.

Government doesn't unite people it creates conflict. Because differences are highlighted and used to put "others" into "this" group or "that" group. Totally ignorant that these groups are only illusions in their own minds.

It is free markets that unite people. Free markets allow people to look past their differences for mutual benefit.

People who care about politics don't seem to really care for others, they just care what they believe they can get for themselves, so they desire to control others with Gov-Corp's gun. And they create their silly little groups of "us and them" so they can focus on finding reasons to hate and excuses to entertain the illusion of "us" being in control and keeping "them" away from controlling Gov-Corp's gun. The amusing part is none of them realize it is Gov-Corp that propagates this to keep them distracted from their own slavery. Because slaves can't be angry with their "masters" when they are busy being angry at the other slaves.

Can someone splain the connection of swastikas and racial comments to Barack Hussein Obama for me?
Is Barack Hussein Obama II a jew? What do the racial comments consist of?

Obviously, since a thread exists about a War on Obama Supporters, that's absolute proof that it exists - just like a thread about Bigfoot proves that it exists.

This is a politics forum, not a theological one.

People who care about politics don't seem to really care for others, they just care what they believe they can get for themselves, so they desire to control others with Gov-Corp's gun.

Politics is about who gets what and why... about people and power, not governments per se.

And they create their silly little groups of "us and them" so they can focus on finding reasons to hate and excuses to entertain the illusion of "us" being in control and keeping "them" away from controlling Gov-Corp's gun. The amusing part is none of them realize it is Gov-Corp that propagates this to keep them distracted from their own slavery.

Strange... you've just described capitalism's tactics to a tee; break up unions and communities into artificially-seperated individuals called 'consumers'.

Apparently putting up a poster of Obama is enough to set off those who want to wage War on Obama Supporters.

Article said:
TUSCALOOSA — Marsha L. Houston, a professor at the University of Alabama, was so happy Barack Obama won the presidency that she put up a poster of the soon-to-be first family on her office door after the election.

First, someone ripped down the poster. When she put up another, someone scrawled a racial slur on it along with a death threat against the first African-American to win the White House.Article

and threats are being left on the vehicles of people thought to be Obama supporters.

Henry Ramsey expected to spend a pleasant couple weeks when he arrived from California to visit relatives in Forest Hills.

But the fun was interrupted Wednesday morning when Ramsey's cousin, Jerome Tompkins of Glasgow Road, discovered a note containing a racial slur on the windshield of his car, parked next to his home.

The message, printed in red marker on a white piece of 8.5- x 11-inch paper reads: "We know you (expletive) voted for Obama -- now just watch out for your house!"

I suppose you're lucky if you only find a threatening note on your car. In this case the car was set on fire:

GREENVILLE (KDKA) ― State police in Mercer County are investigating what they are calling a case of "arson and ethnic intimidation" in Greenville reported by a supporter of President-Elect Barack Obama.

According to investigators, they are searching for someone who spray painted the word "Obama" onto a vehicle, and then set it on fire.
