Hope! Change! Political Violence!

Fans of The Lightworker share the Gospel of Obama with Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.):
Angry graffiti messages were spray-painted on the garage of Norm Coleman's St. Paul home overnight and discovered this morning.

"u r a criminal resign or else," was scrawled in black on the side of the yellow garage in the Summit Hill neighborhood.
Minneapolis... Graffiti... Abbreviated spelling... If any purple paint was used, Prince better have an alibi.

The story also mentions that the word "scum" was written several times as well as the phrase "Psalm 2." What's up with the Biblical passage? Psalm 2 promises God's harsh punishment of evil political leaders:
The kings of the earth set themselves,
   and the rulers take counsel together,
   against the LORD, and against his Anointed...

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:
   the Lord shall have them in derision.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath,
   and vex them in his sore displeasure...

Ask of me,
   and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance,
   and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;
   thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Not quite Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction, but chilling nonetheless. Especially since the Coleman family was home at the time. Of course, the translation used above is the King James Version. In the New Democratic Version, all references to God have been replaced with Obama.

Continuing the theme of lefty craziness in the Land of Sky Blue Waters, a Dem has confessed to bombing attempts at the RNC National Convention.
A 23-year-old Michigan man has admitted to plotting to set off a homemade bomb in the tunnels near the Xcel Energy Center, hoping it would cause a power failure and prompt cancellation of the Republican National Convention.

Matthew B. DePalma of Flint, pleaded guilty in federal court in Minneapolis Tuesday to illegally possessing Molotov cocktails...

DePalma spent about 90 minutes at the Hennepin County Library on Aug. 18 researching recipes for homemade bombs. He bought the supplies for Molotov cocktails a few days later.

He said that if he could bomb the Xcel Center on Sept. 1, "they might call off the convention."

He added that a "power outage would say a lot" and that it was his "main purpose." DePalma also said that he would like to bomb the Xcel Energy Center on Sept. 4 so that the convention would "end with a bang."
Political violence is always disturbing. But to Obama's credit, he was only 47 when this guy was building bombs.

UPDATE: Thanks to NRO's Mark Hemingway, Gateway Pundit and Conservative Grapevine for the kind links.

    So the party that supports abortion, euthanasia, homos, infanticide, cloning, corruption, sloth and the anti-God agenda is quoting the Bible! What a laugh!

    While I acknowledge the Left's penchant for vandalism and violence (the only difference between William Ayers and Timothy McVeigh is that McVeigh had competent bomb-building assistants), a look at the article indicates that both Republican AND Democrat legislators received this sort of "attention".

    So I don't think you can make the case the graffiti action is coming from the Left. Obviously, that conclusion does not apply to the "Evil Minnesota Bomber What Bombs In Minneapolis".

    Hey Lunatic Fringe Right Wingnuts--

    The vandalism was caused to the homes of Democrats, Republicans, Muslims, Jews, Christians, Whites, Blacks. So where your conspiracy theory now dirtballs?

      It looks like you have made your choice.

    umm, wouldn't it be fair to point out that not just Coleman's house was hit but also: "Vandals late Tuesday and early Wednesday spray-painted graffiti on the homes and garages of Sens. Norm Coleman and Amy Klobuchar and Reps. Jim Ramstad, John Kline, Keith Ellison and Michele Bachmann." Notice three Republicans and two Democrats, and police believe it was he work of the same person or group. Fair and balanced, right?

    I think that it's far more likely that whoever did the graffiti was someone from the far right side of the political spectrum because the ones that were vandalized voted for the bailout. Coleman is a Democrat in Republican clothing for the most part. The vote was an extreme left vote and the person who did this is most likely very angry about the bailout. I wouldn't blame the Democrats because this was done to several people, not just Republicans.
