    We learned at this morning’s Stop Obama Rally here that the McCain/Palin Straight Talk Express came through town yesterday. It arrived with a window shattered by a .22 caliber weapon. It had also been hit by an unknown number of paint balls from a paint ball gun or guns. There were reportedly no injuries and neither candidate was on board.​

    I hate stupid people that do stuff like this. It gives a bad image to both campaigns. Glad no one was hurt.

    If this is true it's good that nobody was hurt. How stupid of someone to do that.

    I haven't seen this posted in any major source, I am surprised. Even Drudge? Obviously glad no one was hurt, I wonder what the circumstances were. Probably not even a D&D thread, actually.

    Actually, I did just check out the source by reading the blog, D&D is the appropriate place. Nonetheless, glad everyone is okay.

    What is very telling is that all the Obama supporters came on this thread to denounce this action and not one McCain supporter has bothered to post their disgust with voters being taunted at the polls by McCain supporters (and I know they're posting in other threads so they are choosing to ignore this). That reveals more than anything many of us are saying.
