This is absolutely disgusting.

"Around 2:00 a.m. this monday morning, May 5, 2008, the Obama Vincennes campaign office, located on 329 Main Street, was vandalized. One large window was smashed and several other windows spray painted with racial comments. No one was hurt. Contact Vincennes City police for more information."
Barack Obama has overcome so much during this campaign and he has brought so many people of different backgrounds together for a single purpose. While his candidacy has shown how far our country has come, it also shows just how far we have to go.
I am actually surprised that more visible racist attacks have not be hurled at Obama, espeically since the Clinton Machine has stoked the racist fires in so many states.
I remember seeing where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said that he had never seen more violent racism than in the northern states of the U. S. I believe he said it during his march through Cicero, Illinois, in 1966. While the voilence has subsided over the recent years, I think racism is still sticking to the souls of many of our fellow citizens, especially in the north.
I feel very sad for Obama and his family. They are very good and decent people. The thought of his young girls having to know that something like this happened makes me almost want to cry. Hopefully people will see this story and realize just how silly many have been during the campaign, especially the Clintons. In any event, I hope Obama stays safe.

VINCENNES, Ind. (WTHI) - A local campaign office has been vandalized just 24 hours before election day in Indiana. An investigation is underway currently as to who is behind the destruction of Senator Barack Obama's Vincennes campaign headquarters. The vandalism occured sometime Sunday night.
Supporters at the Vincennes Obama for America office arrived monday morning to find something disturbing. Overnight someone had vandalized Senator Obama's Vincennes campaign site. Spray paint covered windows with broken glass across the floor. Heart-breaking news to Obama supporters.
Also, the criminals stole the American flag that was haning in the office. How sad. This is why Obama is not wearing the stupid flag pin. I'll bet these thugs all wear flag pins while they spray paint hate messages on a presidential candidates office walls.
