Protestors Ransack Bush/Cheney Headquarters In Orlando

A group of protestors stormed and then ransacked a Bush-Cheney headquarters building in Orlando, Fla., Tuesday, according to Local 6 News.

Local 6 News reported that several people from the group of 100 Orlando protestors face possible assault charges after the group forced their way inside the Republican headquarters office.

"We want to send a clear message to Bush, we want him to take his hands off our overtime pay," protestor Esmeralda Heuilar said.

Local 6 News learned that most of the protestors were from the AFL-CIO and were taking part in one of 20 other coordinated protests around the country.

A spokesperson with the AFL-CIO told Local 6 News that the Orlando protest did not go as planned.

Charming.
Here are these union thugs acting out when Florida has "open shop" and "right to work" laws, too!
Meanwhile, also yesterday in Algore's home state, the real life "brownshirts" got a little restless, also:
Shots fired at Bush Tenn. headquarters

An unknown gunman fired several shots into the Bearden, Tenn., Bush-Cheney campaign office Tuesday, WBIR-TV in Knoxville reported.

[...]...One shot shattered the glass in one front door and the other cracked the glass in another of the front doors.

One month ago, GOP headquarters in Huntington, WV. were shot up.
Mercifully, no-one was seriously hurt in any of these incidents, although a couple of people had minor wounds in the Orlando attack.
These are the people (or their representatives) who call Republicans "Nazis" and "digital brownshirts" and who dub President Bush "Hitler" yet whose folks are acting like real Storm Troopers?
Rush Limbaugh chalks it up to their desperation and after John Edwards's pitiful comportment last night in the VP debates, I'd be a little frazzled too, if he and sKerry were my candidates, but this is a free, civilized and civil country--can we please act as if it is? (and that means you, Democrats!)
You're setting a poor example for the people in Afghanistan and Iraq who are getting ready to have their first free elections in their history and on days like yesterday, these wild men make America look less peaceful than the war zones!
Dems need to get a grip!
With these incidents of violence plus the freak show we were given at the RNC in NYC, where there were several clashes with police and hundreds of arrests, the more anarchical members of the radical Left threaten to become home-grown terrorists and there's still almost a month to go until the election...and that ain't right. Not right at all.
I can only worry if they'll get worse as October wears on, not to mention when they lose in November...
I'm afraid to put a Bush/Cheney sign in my yard, for fear of what may happen (Say something like this yard swastika in Wisconsin or the campaign vandalism in Duluth) and we've already had a Bush and an American flag magnet taken off our car, but I worry about it getting "keyed" in a parking lot all the time, because we have a "I support Bush and Our Troops" sticker still there.)
Half of the war is over here, my friends and don't let anyone call you a "chicken hawk" for supporting the war--
Those of who support President Bush (and the troops and the war) are soldiers here, too but I guess we have to keep remembering that our cause is just and right and the Left's is not, nor is the way they conduct their un-civil political discourse!
