Vehicles Vandalized With Political Messages

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Racial slurs targeting Barack Obama were discovered spray painted Saturday night on dozens of city vehicles in Orlando. The vandalism happened in a City of Orlando parking lot on the corner of South and Orange.

Phrases including "Oboma smoks crack" and other phrases with racial slurs were written in blue spraypaint on the white city cars and trucks. Other vehicles appeared to have had their gas tanks tampered with.

I guess it IS about race for some people.
Not surprisingly though, they couldn't even spell "Obama" right.


I somehow doubt these were Hillary fans in spite of the cards left on the windshield stating their support for the Clintons. Not that there isn't a lot of hurt feelings in the Democratic party right now.

Could just be another attempt at division by some desperate groups.

Aaaahh Lee, you are so easily fooled.

How do you know this wasn't paid (or non-paid) Obama supporter(s) that did this in aims to make it look like poor Obama is a victem because he is half Black?

Obama probably even told them to leave the 'e' off the word smoke to make it look like some uneducated White person who is clinging to their guns and religion.

Why do you think most Black persons (not all though) are voting for Obama? Yeahp, because of his race and just because he is Black.

I guess it is about race for some people.

I have to agree, I don't think there are many white people that don't know how to smell a simple word like "smoke".

But also, just because it's racism vs. blacks, why is it automatically assumed a white did it? A Hispanic or Asian could have very well done it. I know some Asians and Mexicans who are in gangs and are very racist towards black people.

What kind of racist, idiotic tripe is that? Mispelling a word, even the simpliest of words, is not something indicative to certain races. Please peruse the forums here, you will see mispelling galore; being that the most Americans are white, most of those making the mistakes here in the forums are white.

I have a feeling things will heat up even more with Obama, Hillary, and McCain amongst the populace to the point Bush will say..."Now ,,I have to serve another term and impose a few Presidential Directives."

I gave you a star!

Because you showed the World the proud spelling abilities of a white man!

Emphases .. mine.


Annnyywhoo..

I don't see any racial slurs.. wonder what they where.. all I see is Obama smok(e)s crack. And I don't know mr. Obama well enough to say he does or does not smok(e) crack.

But I guess the evil white people (or latino .. I am yet to meet a Mexican that likes black people..) that spray painted said supposed racial slurs will make me feel bad enough to vote socialist this coming election!

Hmm, that grafitti looks to be about the same quality that i myself can muster, although of course i never made political commentary or anything like that.

It's because of people like these the administration comes down so heavily on people expressing themselves through grafitti.

Still, i suppose a good idea is a good idea, however you choose to implement it.

This was the first thought that came to mind for me as well. Fake Hate Crimes are not all that unconceivable if you do a little reserch..

yeah. There are also terms to describe those who can't bring themselves to believe that they're wrong
Denial is a deadly drug


Using the age old theory, tried and true, Occam's razor:

All other things being equal, the simplest solution is the best


So what seems simpler?

The fact that racism exists in the united states so rampantly that its one of the major reasons that other countries scoff us, consequently a bunch of hillbillies with nazi/KKK mentalities say "aint no black boy iz gunna be prezident!" and went and vandalized a bunch of cars.
See, alot of vandalism also comes from the same 'types' of people that cause hate crimes.

or


Obama and crew set around their offices thinking "hmm, whats the best way we can muster support for ourselves?

  • Offer solutions to people's problems?
  • Give Llyod a big hug
  • Give a wonderful speech about the issues of race and discrimination in america...
  • NOPE i got it. Lets go vandalaize a bunch of cars and make fun of Barack, saying he smokes crack and calling him racial slurs.




and in the trial of
The People
v.s.
Stupidity


the prosecution rests.

I'm not in denial about racism being Alive and Well in America, but it's a two way street. You're the one in denial if you really don't believe black people are just as racist or even moreso than other ethnic groups. Take the overwhelming black vote for Obama as an example. I sincerely doubt they thought Obama's platform was 90% better than Hillary's..



Using the age old theory, tried and true, Occam's razor:

Using Occam's principle, it more likely an attempt by Obama supporters to garner support. If we're going to be logical, then let's do be logical..

You're own posts speaks volumes about your own bigotry.. Hillbillies and Nazis, are derogatory stereotypes for certain segments of the White population. Why didn't you use the "N" word instead of black boy in your posts? Was it too offensive for you?

"Yes", there are organizations like the KKK and NeoNazis, but let's not forget The New Black panthers.

Before you declare yourself the winner in the fight against ignorance, shouldn't you provide a few facts first rather than specious opinions?

Wow seriously Jetxnet, are you serious. I bet McCain crashed his jet and became a pow, so that 40 years later he could run for president. And here we go again with the "blacks support obama cuz he's black". No thats not true at all 90% of blacks vote democratic, they are the most loyal voting bloc in America, so whats the big deal about them supporting a democrat. God forbid that blacks may like the idea of the first ever black man with a real shot. GOD Whites pitying themselves is pathetic

If that is not sarcasm, then it is the DUMBEST thing I have ever heard in my life. It is even a new low for you, Jetxnet.

Also, you spelled "victim" wrong, although it is hard to type whilst clenching a gun and a bible...

I believe you meant to say "spell" not "smell".
What is your opinion on White people and poor grammar?
Could I arrive at some conclusion regarding your race because of this?



I think it is absurd to come to such a racial conclusion when there is no evidence of what race the culprits actually are. Illiteracy is a serious issue that cuts across all races. I grew up in the mountains of West Virginia and I can assure you that there were many people that had serious literacy issues. Black and White.

I would probably have agreed with this had I not read that flyer's (or business cards) were left on windshields expressing support for Hillary Clinton and the Clinton family.

I have seen a few vandals in my time (even knew a few in College) and most were to lazy to go through the trouble of printing out flyer's to smear a candidate.

Spray painting...yes. That they would do.

It was the flyer's that made me thing twice about my original assumption.

Rock,

I believe the racial epithet was not photographed or mentioned for the risk of offending some readers.

Keep in mind 60 CARS were vandalized. An estimated $10,000 dollars in damage was done.

We only have a photo of one or two of them.

The reference to crack was not the racist comment, but mentioned as being "in addition" to some of the racial comments.


The vehicles were parked across from City Hall. Investigators said the messages included "Obama smokes crack" and a racial epithet.
Sun Sentinel


It was not photographed for I believe the reasons I mentioned, but apparently it is there. As far as evil Mexicans or Whites causing the damage...that is your speculation. As is the alleged fact that all Mexicans/Latinos hate blacks. I doubt this however, as I have stayed in Texas for brief periods of time and have seen both races dating each other openly.

I am just not comfortable with sweeping generalization.
