Speaking of physical attacks against people doing political work, did anyone see in the news that McCain campaign volunteer who was attacked and had a "B" scratched into her cheek? Web Link

Stacey...
"Is it normal for campaigning to occur at council meetings?"
The answer is YES...both from the council members...as well as the speakers from the audience!!! Has always been so (in the 30+ years I have resided in Pleasanton) and will always be so!!! That is democracy in action!!!

Watch the news - the McCain worker made it all up. The biggest hint was that she scratched the "B" backwards - I guess she didn't realize how a mirror works.
Unfortunately, given the divisive personal smear campaign being run by McCain & Palin against Obama, something like this was bound to happen. Words incite action. Our country will be lucky if these kinds of incidents are the worst that occurs.
