Check out Black Velvet Bruce Li for the actual pictures of this disgusting and disgraceful act of campaign vandalism.
It is appalling that supporters of the Obama campaign feel so compelled to be morons. Whatever happened to civil campaigning? I never thought the behavior from Maryland would travel across the Potomac to Virginia. While we can agree to disagree with the other side (the Democrats), we should NEVER resort to stupidity (period).

Rufus,
I am not denying that there has been anti-Obama acts of violence, but this is the violence that should NOT be condoned by either side. I just hope justice is served.
Larger forces are at work here. This is just a symptom.
A month ago Republicans had an opportunity to stand in front of the Capitol and to express confidence in the American people, and to reject the Wallstreet Bailout.
The American People would have met the challenge, the same way they met challenges in the past.
But no . . . Republicans (including McCain) chose to enslave us to Wall Street. You owe enough money to someone, you are their slave, and congress put us $750 billion in debt to Wall Street.
Now people are angry . . . frustrated. This will be the ugliest election ever and the aftermath of the election will be just as ugly.
By putting the Government and Wall Street above the law and above the normal health consequences of participating in a capitalist economy, President Bush, Congress, and the Senate have signaled to the American people that we are no longer a nation governed by the Rule of Law.
The bag is open, the cats are running around the room, good luck to anyone who thinks they can ever stuff the cats back in the bag.
The grafitti you report on is just the first symptom.
What evidence do you have that Obama supporters vandalized these homes–why call them “Obama Vandals”? The slogans are clearly anti-McCain, but do you lack the imagination or reasoning capability to comprehend that being anti-McCain does not de facto make one pro-Obama?
