Another UnAmerican Obama Supporter
This story from Clearwater, Florida gets added to the other 1st Amendment attacks taking place nationwide against McCain supporters. What is their crime? Simply dare to put out a McCain/Palin campaign sign or sticker upon their car.
This Obama supporter adds the lovely twist of burning an American flag to the hate crime.
The owner of this Lexus believes his McCain/Palin sticker is the reason behind approximately $4,500 worth of damage done to his vehicle. Frank Armstrong was preparing to go for a jog this morning when he noticed his Lexus – adorned with a McCain-Palin sticker – had been vandalized with obscenities and a burned American flag.
Armstrong discovered the damage to his 2006 Lexus about 8:30 a.m. at his Sand Key condominium at 1400 Gulf Blvd. Clearwater police and Armstrong said someone etched obscenities and “KKK” into the paint, burned several areas of the car with cigarettes, set the flag on fire on his hood and may have urinated on the vehicle. Officers and Armstrong think the car was singled out because of its political stickers, including one reading “Nobama.”
“This is definitely a hate crime,” said Armstrong, a 41-year-old physician.
Police estimated damage at $4,500. Police classified the incident as “criminal mischief/hate crime” and said it appeared “to be politically/racially motivated because the victim affixed a bumper sticker supporting the McCain campaign as well as an anti-Obama bumper sticker.”
Stay classy Obama Voters!
