Campaign Violence in Arizona

Violence by Democrats against Republican campaign offices continues to spread. The Arizona Daily Sun reports:

Political motivations turned criminal Thursday night or early Friday when vandals smashed a large glass door with a section of cinder block at the Republican Party headquarters in downtown Flagstaff.

A pile of shattered glass joined egg shells filling the entryway to the GOP offices, located on Humphreys Street across from Wheeler Park. Fliers with information criticizing President Bush were stacked up outside the door.

The photo below shows the entry to the Flagstaff Bush-Cheney headquarters, and the smashed front door. Click to enlarge:

The Flagstaff attack followed only a day after a bomb threat against the Bush-Cheney headquarters in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: the party of hate is fast becoming the party of violence.

UPDATE: A reader in Winston-Salem, North Carolina sent us this photo of his neighbor's Bush-Cheney sign, crumpled by Democratic vandals. (His own sign was stolen.) This kind of thing is happening all over the country, as the Democrats violate all past norms of civility. Click to enlarge:

ANOTHER UPDATE: I love this one. Reader David Lind sent us this photo, which was taken by his wife. A Bush supporter had his lawn sign stolen, and put up this one instead. Click to enlarge:

HERE'S MORE: A reader who volunteers in the Lake Havasu City Bush-Cheney office writes:

I volunteer at the Lake Havasu City, Arizona republican headquarters for Bush Cheney We made a police report on the bomb threat and also called our local newspaper to report it. We were told by our newspaper they would not do a story on the bomb threat because they were afraid of alarming the community.

I think the community needs to be alarmed.

STILL MORE: The Bush-Cheney campaign's field director in Flagstaff is a Power Line reader; he sends along another chilling photo of the door to the B-C office which a Kerry supporter smashed with a cinder block. Click to enlarge:
