ORIGINAL: CreativeDominant How many Democratic headquarters have been blown up by wild-eyed Republicans? Graffiti-ed? http://www.coloradoindependent.com/36432/denver-democratic-party-hq-vandalized (twice) http://www.vindy.com/news/2015/jun/18/mahoning-county-democratic-party-hq-boardman-vanda/?nw And it wasn't 'blown up'... they say 'firebombed' because it sounds dramatic, but all that happened was a tiny fire that burned itself out after damaging some furniture, supplies, and I guess part of the wall. The building is NOT currently a pile of rubble resembling Tokyo in the final stages of WWII. This kind of thing happens whenever there's a heated issue on the table, and of course the usual response is a round of character assassinations and indignation where liberals/conservatives are violent/out of control while liberals/conservatives are peaceful angels who cannot comprehend the terror that has been unleashed. There are 300 million plus people in the US and believe it or not, the presidential candidates cannot control the thoughts and actions of every single one of them (yet). Is it really so hard to believe that this was just a frustrated citizen who felt powerless and wanted to release some frustration/anger? I don't know why we have to go all the way to the sensationalism of 'it's an attack on democracy!!!!!!!!', the usual Nazi comparisons, etc. Hillary would definitely NOT approve of this. Even in secrecy, she wouldn't want it... mostly because this is the sort of thing that could make Trump look like a victim instead of the horrible obnoxious bully and pig that he is. She also knows that the GOP is in such a weak position that the best way to win at this point is to stay on strategy and watch Trump self-destruct... it's working extremely well, and unlike Trump she has enough self-control to let it keep working for her. Trump LOVES the fact that this happened... he gets to call people 'animals' and blame Hillary-- it's a win for him and he is milking it with all the sophistication and grace of an intellectually-challenged 12 year old. If this is a conspiracy, then I'd be far more likely to suspect the GOP of doing it themselves in order to distract people from all of the embarrassing BS that is currently spewing from their candidate's mouth. Funny you should mention Nazis...since the message graffiti-ed on the wall referred to "Nazi Republicans". It also distracts from all those annoying Wikileaks documents. So? Nazi comparisons are used too frequently for them to have any meaning... if they were used more sparingly, they would have a greater impact. But I really don't think anyone is going to accuse your average vandal of being a deep thinker any time soon. And the Wikileaks documents are actually pretty dull... but I don't think that vandalizing a GOP HQ would be the Dems' first choice if they really wanted a distraction. You can go on and on about how evil Hillary is, but you cannot deny that she has self-control and knows how to play the game. She wouldn't be so stupid as to give her opponents ammunition when they're at their weakest.
