pecuniumThere was a small kerfluffle when a Bush supporter alleged his daughter had had a Bush sign ripped from her hands (which seems a trifle less than troublesome than the kicks and hair-pulling Bush supporters have been giving to Kerry supoorters in police custody, but I digress).
Today I see this
Vandals target local Democrats’ office for second time "LAFAYETTE — Vandals set fire to signs and wrote pro-President Bush messages on the front of Lafayette’s Democratic Party."
Which of the two is worse (even if we assume, which the evidence suggests is a bit of reach, given that the Bush supporter has made the same, basic, allegations in the past two presidential elections)? The snatching of a sign from someone's hand, when they are at a rally for one guy, supporting the other, or the burning of signs; endagering property and the defacement of a building?
I know where I stand, and I know that it would make me less willing to support the candidate you were willing to try to pull this sort of half-assed kristallnact on behalf of.
