Dem Violence Spreads

Partisan Vandals are at it again. This time in Oregon.

Someone smashed the windows of the Multnomah County Republican office in Southeast Portland on Thursday, perhaps the latest sign some Oregonians have tossed out civility in their zeal to put their man in the White House.

Patrick Donaldson, volunteer chairman of the Bush campaign in Multnomah County, said the broken windows, discovered early in the morning, follow weeks of harassment, including threatening phone calls and people walking into the office and ripping up signs.

"Any Bush supporter will tell you the various levels of disdain from co-workers and complete strangers when they assert they're Republican, that level of disdain was nowhere near this in 2000," Donaldson said. "I'm not saying we are without fault, but these efforts to try to intimidate us and frighten us . . . it really upsets me."

That is true, Mr Donaldson. In spite of the intimidation, stand firm there in the land of utopia.

What is more disturbing is that there doesn't seem to be much contrite verbage flowing from the Dem leadership.

Oregon Democratic Party officials said they do not condone smashing the windows of Republican offices and discourage such acts.

"But the fact is that the reason the Republican Party is feigning righteous indignation is because they don't want to talk about the 30,000 jobs lost and the 180,000 Oregonians who have lost health care," said Neel Pender, executive director of the state Democratic Party.

Take a little time out, Mr Pender, from your talking points and address the issue at hand. One might think there would be more difference between these Democratic officials and the typical Islamic 'cleric' who refuses to roundly condemn terrorism.
