Republican Senator and 3 Congress Members Houses Vandalized
Posted on October 23, 2008 by Texas Hill Country
Vandals defaced the garage at Sen. Norm Coleman’s home, his campaign and police said Wednesday.
Coleman and his wife, Laurie, live in the Crocus Hill neighborhood of St. Paul. Graffiti left on the outside of their garage reads: “U R A criminal resign or else”; “Scum,” which is written three times; and “Psalm 2.”
“We’re considering it a threat to the senator,” Panos said, adding that three other Republican members of Congress — Reps. John Kline, Michele Bachmann and Jim Ramstad — were targeted with similar vandalism that police think might be related.
Laurie Coleman, the senator’s wife, told the St. Paul Pioneer Press that the family’s garage has been marked at least once before, but the latest incident was worse.
“This is just threatening,” she said.
Norm Coleman, a Republican, is in a tight race for his second term against Democrat Al Franken and Independent Dean Barkley.
I cannot believe I am going to have to add a new category, but this is getting out of hand… New today, the Democrat On Republican Violence section.

Alaska’s Republican Senator Ted Stevens Indicted
Posted on July 29, 2008 by Texas Hill Country
From the NYT
“Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska, the longest-serving Republican senator in United States history and a figure of great influence in Washington as well as in his home state, has been indicted on federal charges of failing to report gifts and income.
Mr. Stevens, 84, was indicted on seven felony counts related to renovations on his home in Alaska. The charges arise from an investigation that has been under way for more than a year, in connection with the senator’s relationship with a businessman who oversaw the home-remodeling project.
The indictment will surely reverberate through the November elections. Mr. Stevens, who has been in the Senate for 40 years, is up for re-election this year. Mark Begich, a popular Democratic mayor of Anchorage, hopes to supplant him.”
This is good news for the Democrats. Looks like they are picking up one more seat in the Senate.
Hopefully it will be one with a backbone…
