President Obama will apparently sign the health care reform bill passed last night on a 219-212 vote in the House of Representatives in a ceremony at 11:15 am tomorrow in the White House. And if the things that happened in the wee hours of this day are any sign of what’s looming as a response, they might want to get the FBI and the Secret Service on higher alert in Washington, and in other parts.
We’ve already seen the ridiculous outburst of Tea Party protesters on Capitol Hill at the weekend. And then there was Rep. Randy Neueberger’s ‘it’s a baby killer’ taunt from the House floor between votes Sunday night. But some opponents of the health care reform vote are stepping it up to the next level, and actually carrying out acts of violence, verging on terrorism, against Democratic offices around the nation.
Liz Benjamin at the New York Daily News was the first I saw report on such an act today. Staff at the Monroe County Democratic headquarters in Rochester, New York arrived this morning and found a brick had been hurled through their glass door. The brick had a note on it that read “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.”
The AP also reported that Rep. Louise Slaughter, another upstate Democrat, had a broken window at her Niagara Falls district office.
And if two is a worry, three is a trend. Rep. Gabrielle Gifford, an Arizona Democrat, had the door to her Tucson, Arizona, office smashed, according to the Arizona Daily Star. Whoever was the cowardly glass breaker in this case waited until Gifford’s staff left the office late at night.

Blogger stands by call to break windows at Dems' offices
A former militiaman who exhorted others to break windows at Democratic offices throughout the U.S. is unapologetic and says Democrats are asking for "civil war" by passing health-care law.
By Philip Rucker
The Washington Post
Glass doors at Monroe County Democratic Committee in Rochester, N.Y. were smashed after the health-care vote
The call to arms was issued at 5:55 a.m. last Friday.
"To all modern Sons of Liberty: THIS is your time. Break their windows. Break them NOW."
These were the words of Mike Vanderboegh, 57, a former Alabama militiaman who took to his blog urging people who opposed the health-care overhaul — he calls it "Nancy Pelosi's Intolerable Act" — to throw bricks through the windows of Democratic offices nationwide.
"So, if you wish to send a message that Pelosi and her party (that they) cannot fail to hear, break their windows," Vanderboegh wrote on the blog, Sipsey Street Irregulars. "Break them NOW. Break them and run to break again. Break them under cover of night. Break them in broad daylight. Break them and await arrest in willful, principled civil disobedience. Break them with rocks. Break them with slingshots. Break them with baseball bats. But BREAK THEM."
In the days that followed, glass windows and doors were shattered at local Democratic Party offices and the district offices of House Democrats from Arizona to Kansas to New York.
Local Democratic Party officials in New York have called for Vanderboegh's arrest, believing he is implicated in vandalism in Rochester, but he said he has not been questioned by law-enforcement authorities.
Vanderboegh was unapologetic in a 45-minute interview Thursday.
He said he believes throwing bricks through windows sends a warning to Democratic lawmakers that the health-care law has caused so much unrest that it could result in a civil war.
"The federal government should not have the ability to command us to buy something that it decides we should buy," Vanderboegh said. The government, he added, has "absolutely no idea the number of alienated who feel that their backs are to the wall are out here ... who are not only willing to resist this law to the very end of their lives, but are armed and are capable of making such resistance possible and perhaps even initiating a civil war."

Violence is best left to
the professionals, your politicians.
Funny.....
but there comes a time when even amateurs have to get their hands dirty
true slant? what the hell are

true....this article isnt the best....
but, found it while researching something else... had never heard of true slant....
The author is an idiot..but was the only article that seemed to link all 3 events together...so until a better one comes out..thought that the awareness needs to be spread
I have seen images where they show the vandalism
Why is it that angry people can never spell correctly or spray meaningless language?
In one instance there is an image of "DORK" sprayed in the window.
(why those exact words?)
In the same article they link to another such incident where supposed nazi's spray a swastika on an LGBT building with the words "Gay Pawer". Not only does the statement make no sense but why wouldn't a nazi be able to spell "Power" correctly?

It sounds like
riotous behavior - just sheep that go along with a general feeling of anger and let it be an excuse to be morons. I don't think these people would understand a word in your post. Try simpler words next time - like "why you want smash stuff?"
Defend Liberty!

Looks to be only a minor response so far.
Many actions preceding the outbreak of actual civil war or revolution are symbolic actions.
Throwing bricks through the window or door of an unoccupied office of the enemy is of course symbolic of later more violent action against occupied offices, such as the bombings seen during the rebellion in Northern Ireland.
Hanging politicians in effigy has similar symbolism, as do mock trials, obviously a peaceful warning of what is to come.
More serious are riots or demonstrations where barricades are erected, symbolic of the boundaries in the hearts and minds of those who erect them; carving out a new nation you might say.
Even more serious are the takeovers of government facilities and broadcast stations, symbolic of removing the occupying forces of foreign nations.
Until you see others or find yourself driven to participate in one of these acts of escalation, nothing of significance is happening.
Wait and watch, but I just don't think enough have yet escalated from the mindset of peaceful political action into the mindset of pre-violence or violence. The pain from the plunder and control of government is not yet sufficient for most to be willing to accept the pain from violent civil conflict.
The preponderance of the responses seem to be for peaceful political action, a course that has repeatedly failed, but there are many slow learners.
When the pot finally does reach a boil, it will come unexpectedly for the majority of the population. Right now we who believe civil war or revolution will erupt are in the "watched pot never seems to come to a boil" stage.

Target the local "council" person in you area.
They are in denial and ignorant . . . least wise, it's most important to keep an eye on these people, because they are entering a world of a police state mentality, and the kool ade will be too comfortable, and enable the deceit and lie . . . we cannot have this on a local level, or we are just being usurped and weaponized.
and the destuction of all living creatures and things, and hold you at the alter of a government or ideology.
And never forget, “Humans, despite our artistic pretensions, our sophistication and many accomplishments, owe the fact of our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.”
When the people feel all forms of peaceful redress of grievances
have been exhausted, they will resort to violence. I do not believe we are there yet, but others disagree. We all have our breaking point, and at least 5 people have reached their's.
Expect more of the same. The hotheads will go first. Calmer heads will try to talk it out, vote it out, and win peacefully. However, we won't be able to hold back the more volatile people forever.
The actions of a few, and the reactions of the government, could bring on a crisis quickly.
Feds, provocateurs, and "violence"
Odds are very good that (if these incidents should occur at all) that police plants and professional provocateurs who are responsible for the so-called "violence" attributed to Tea Party activists, Libertarians, et al.
We already have public opinion on our side, we have truth, facts, and evidence on our side. Ignoring that, the Feds passed Dear Leader's "healthcare" legislation with their attendant secrecy and corruption, foisting it on the rest of us in a manner almost indistinguishable from that of a military coup.
WE DON'T need to resort to violence or "terrorism"!!
If your hear about--still more, if you should actually observe "violence"--look for the Feds, and their kept stooges in the "newsmedia"!
PEACE AND FREEDOM!!

I agree!
If "they" can't instigate a riot..."they" will invent one to give reason for "their" horse opera to bring out the foreign cavalry.
Like Ron, I would like to see peacful change....
but he and I know that when all else fails....
Window breaking will pale in comparison to what I think is coming as this tyranical government continues their assault on the people this year....

We should have Mock trials
and put them all on the list NP,HR,MacDaddy and the rest. Try them and let the people decide what the punishment should be from years in prison to hanging by the neck until dead. This is treason by the way.
They produce nothing. Thievery and thuggary.
They do not value institutions until they run them.
The insurance industry has two to three years left, and it will be demolished by Obama, due to major premium increases by 300% extra cost to insurance companies. Eliminated.
Obama doesn't like the constitution.
The level of affects is the level on a humanity scale, and deserves death by hanging by the neck until dead . . . denial is on trial . . . we had a clear path to a successful society, and only treason could have taken it down. A cancer from the inside.
And never forget, “Humans, despite our artistic pretensions, our sophistication and many accomplishments, owe the fact of our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.”
wow, interesting. . .
Sounds like "The Window War"... which I believe is an unwelcome story at the DP. Seems that these brick tossing, note leaving, window smashers have read it though. =P
edit: confirmed - The boys @ http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/ are chatting it up.... btw, The Merry 3pers appear caught off-guard by this.
edit again: Seems they are now in command of the story .....

I wouldnt really call that violence
now if they got a lynch mob together and made their congresspig swing from a tree with their neck, now that would be violence, and I bet the next congressman would go out of his way to serve his representatives

Did you notice all the smiles at the

Attacks
These are false flags all the way. No arrests made no video or audio to support the allegations.
annunaki, I perceive that you are right
This little handful of "shattering" incidents is obviously intended to remind us of Kristalnacht, which also was staged by paid 'agents provacateur.' I think local police were probably instructed to permit these acts of petty vandalism to occur. Their purpose is to goose the fear pedal so that a Congress salted with wusses like Pelosi will omit even to attempt to forestall the impending declaration of martial law.
(It will come with the warm weather.)
People of America, do not be deceived. Do not allow the Overly Controllers to goad us into imitating bad behavior. If we respond to AIPAC's violence with similar acts of petty vandalism, we will not feel better about things. Instead, we will stupidly furnish the Supreme Schmuckizoids with the slight justification they seek in order to unleash a storm of brutality aimed at all good American people. Instead, TURN THE OTHER CHEEK. That will stop them in their tracks. It is the only way we can win.

Passive resistance works.
Civil disobedience works.
Cutting off their allowance works.
Avoiding police like the plague works.
On the other hand, as any chess-player knows, doing what your opponent wants you to do results in getting trapped, pinned, and check-mated.
If your mind is not free, and you permit outsiders to control your thoughts and actions, then you are already defeated.

but would video & audio mean anything?
or do people need to identify themselves?

Pelosi getting in front of the cameras saying I'm scared of these violent unamerican people. It is unamerican to shred the U.S. Constitution that you swore to uphold.
