Hoffman Poll Watcher Has Tires Slashed [updated]

On his third trip to the polls, a Hoffman supporter and poll watcher had his tires slashed this afternoon —as you can see he had a hoffman sign in his back window.

A police report has been filed.

[updated:] Local police are not willing to confirm it was a tire slashing and say it could be that the poll watcher ran over a bottle.

    a) a random isolated incident unrelated to the Hoffman sticker, or
    b) an isolated incident that doesn’t reflect on the average Doug/Dede supporter, or
    c) a dirty trick by a Hoffman supporter trying to make Owens look bad.

    There must have been CCTV in the parking lot. Check the recorder! Let’s see the SEIU emblem on the guys back or bumper sticker!

    One for lawyers to combat fraud, and one to pay for auto damage like this.

    The day is coming when people like me will respond in kind and happily do the jail time.

    What some on “the other side” don’t seem to grasp is that it is precisely this sort of thugery and intimidation tactics, which are feuling the surge of conservatism.

    What do they think the word, “ENOUGH” means?

    Oh well, like my grandmother always said, “We only attack the things that intimidate us.”

    garner sympathy for the right-wing ‘extremist’ agenda of voter supression.

    I remember when I said 5 more than g’bye.

    The blam stick is weighty sometimes.

    I understand your frustration, but I can’t think anything stupider you could do. This is exactly what the Dems want, a Rightie getting busted for slashing tires. And God forbid if you slash a black person’s tire…then Libs will claim it’s all part of the GOP effort to suppress the black vote. Don’t give them the ammunition.

    I saw a brand new white Yukon XL this weekend with an OU emblem in the back window. But the stupid thing was they had an “upside-down” Texas Longhorn emblem on their back bumper area…that is just begging for trouble.

    But the way you deal with thugs is a straight right to the jaw. And that is who we are dealing with.

    Makes sense to me. No self-respecting NJ tire slasher would leave three perfectly good tires untouched.

    I’m sure they had something to do with it. They’re thugs!

    work best. Between TSA and CA gun laws, I don’t take any firearms when we go visit the CA relatives, but I do keep a good supply of those bumper stickers for any rental cars we get.

    does this guy have. Driving over a curb at high speed I can see, driving over a bottle??

    Third-party candidates can add real choice for voters when they hold to conservative traditional constitutional values and become a choice not merely an echo. It should not take very long in these contests to determine the desires of most voters.
    Now, in NY’s 23rd contest, we know beyond a shadow of doubt, Scozzafava was not a conservative Republican, just a liberal echo. Pro abortion, pro gay marriage, pro taxation, pro union open voting, pro increase in taxes and now one can add to her portfolio pro democrat Owens endorsement.

    I remain amazed that several Republicans like Newt Gingrich supported Scozzafava until the very end. Rush Limbaugh was totally correct on his analysis of Scozzafava and her RINO label. He is also correct when he repeats on numerous occasions that for the Republicans to win they must abandon this moderate and bipartisan nonsense. We face a democrat, liberal, take no prisoners strategy. It’s time we proclaim our conservatism boldly and openly without apology or equivocation. Let us proudly defend,

    A strong national defense,
    An end to debt expansion and increased taxes.
    A strong pro life and defense of traditional marriage act,
    Continued proclamation of American freedom and individualism,
    An effort to enforce the criminal laws already enacted,
    An all out effort to promote the private sector and removal of unnecessary government regulations,
    Greater promotion of individual freedom and small business entrepreneurship,
    Promotion of a job creation and restoration program which minimizes corporate taxes and government controls,
    Elimination of deceptive tax increases disguised as cap and trade legislation,
    Elimination of unnecessary health reform proposals which can add trillions to the national debt long term,
    The elimination of unconstitutional czars,
    Elimination of illegal immigration and restoration of our borders,
    Increased support for our military establishment and forces, and victory in military conflicts,
    Renewed pride and support for the U.S. at home and abroad,

    We need a renewal of conservative, constitutional principles of freedom and the pursuit of liberty and happiness. If we Republicans are to govern in the future it will only be with the consent of the American people, realizing we will make a life long commitment to conservatism. The Washington lobbyists must be replaced with the voices of average voters who want their country back. There can be no substitute for victory in 2010 and 2012.

    I cant believe we’ve spent this much time on a guy running over a bottle.

  • Richard Mullins

    or course a good republican sticker will work wonders there.

  • joeyess

    You were wrong. It was a bottle that the guy ran over, Hoffman jumped aboard the “blame acorn” bandwagon and made this wild accusation of vandalism and you continue this nonsense.

    You. Are. Lying.

    Stop it.

    Just change the title to something like “Oops! I was an idiot.”
