If it didn’t get me in trouble, I might help raise funds for Rep. Scott to run for US Senate. I’d rather have Cynthia McKinney run though.

At what point does Godwin’s Law take effect? Can someone predict the future? I know I can’t.

Scott is a Representative, not a Senator.

Holy crap. This guy must be a birther, too! Is it POSSIBLE that a U.S. Senator (and a “simpleton” graduate of the Wharton Business School) skulked about in the middle of the night with a can of spray paint to deface his own sign for the purpose of – um, what? Sure, it’s “possible”. It’s also possible that the author of this article is a Democratic plant seeking to make Republicans look even dumber and more paranoid than they really are. If so, he or she succeeded

I head that the program code detects any mention of the Fair Tax and automatically deducts 3 points. It deducts 10 points for any mention of Obama’s birth certificate.

I don’t get it. How is a swastika, most recently used by the Nationalist Socialist Party of Germany, a symbol of racism against blacks? Or is Rep. Scott Jewish?

I am with those who want to wait until the fool who painted the swastika is caught. It could be some Yankee Rockefeller Republican racist, or it could be some liberal Democrat trying to gin up hatred against those who oppose Obamacare, or it could be some good old boy, three sheets to the wind, who wanted to make the point that Obamacare has more in common with totalitarian socialism and fascism than American exceptionalism. Or it could be a couple of stupid teenage boys with a spray paint can and no clue as what that symbol means.

I think I’ll wait before crying “racism”.

At least when God writes graffiti, He uses words and a visible finger. Anyone other than Him should be arrested and prosecuted.

Off topic, but I’m finding the comment voting apparatus pretty worthless. It’s clear that people are voting comments based on their partisan feelings, not whether a comment contributes to the discussion.

I’d like to say that colletively, between True Grit, Prove It, and Georgia Judge, we’ve got a great three way race for the part of Lloyd Braun.

Just for the record: those of you who proclaim the demise of PP because you’re giddy about how much cooler you are than the likes of Erick and Pete are missing the forest for the trees. Erick is at best the “Seinfeld” of PP. He’s the hub, but he’s not the show. Far from it. And Pete? Think Newman. If you love Seinfeld, do you stop watching reruns because you don’t dig Newman?

PP thrives because the regulars rebel when Erick pulls out the Jimmy Carter “History’s Greatest Monster” gag and don’t offer “attaboys” when Pistol Pete plays the Graf card. Pay attention, cooler-than-PPers: PP will be around longer than you, so long as the Powers That Be don’t screw up the underlying level-headed community that thrives in spite of them. Bank on it.

Yes it does, and the fact that it is going to cost the taxpayers to get the sign replaced is even worse.

I saw in an article today that if they catch whoever painted the swastika , they’ll be prosecuted for a hate crime. It made me think, was Pamela Graf ever prosecuted for a hate crime due to burning he own house down because she was an Obama supporter?
