Democrats raise money to reopen firebombed Republican HQ
It took 40 minutes to raise $13,000.
Click here for reuse options!Massachusetts Democrat David Weinberger heard the news and started a campaign on Gofundme.com to help reopen the campaign office. In approximately 40 minutes, the campaign reached it’s goal from his Democratic friends and then some, according to a WSOCTV reporter.
“As Democrats, we are starting this campaign to enable the Orange County, North Carolina Republican office to re-open as soon as possible,” Weinberger wrote on the page.
“Until an investigation is undertaken, we cannot know who did this or why,” he continued. “No matter the result, this is not how Americans resolve their differences. We talk, we argue, sometimes we march, and most of all we vote. We do not resort to violence by individuals or by mobs. So, let’s all pitch in, no matter what your party affiliation, and get that office open again quickly.”

Domestic terrorism for sure. Kudos to the local Dems for their open hearts and open wallets. That being said, would anyone be surprised if the firebomber turned out to be a fanatical teabagger who was trying to scandalize the Dems? The left has done this type of thing, in the ’60’s for example, but I have a hard time believing that the current generation of left-wingers would do this sort of thing. It would seem a logical course of action to a wild-eyed trumpeteer however.

But when the “left” was blowing things up in the ’60’s, they weren’t Democrats, they were the radical left, and wanted to blow up everything and everyone.

True enough, more anarchists than anything else. A teabagger would lump anyone to the left of Hitler as the radical left. They do it all the time.

>> Domestic terrorism for sure.
Sure.
Would you put it past a crazy Trump supporter to do something like this?
Larry Schmitt October 17th, 2016 at 08:20
So how does Trump spin this? Assuming he mentions it at all.

As a liberal, I weigh the evidence — so, of course, a liberal might have done this.
But this seems like a “false flag.”
Trump supporters hate both liberals and the Republican Party.
This was a win-win for them.
But, for liberals, this is a loss.

it’s not a loss for liberals at all.

The investigation should reveal that the swastikas made by Republicans match perfectly.

We’re glad to help NC voters continue their 71% probability of electing HRC to win their state. http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/north-carolina/
Historically NC voters elect their presidential winners and senate candidates from the same party. But a split ticket GOP senate vote maybe looming, or cratering. http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/senate/north-carolina/#polls

RealClearPolitics has Clinton up by 2.9 and rising.
Romney was up by less than that.

I certainly can see why liberals would take the high road and step up to help out like this, but..if the investigation turns out that the lying thieving treasonous sleazeball republicans are behind it to make the Dems look bad in a must win state …I hope they give their money to a deserving charity instead.

I’ll bet you a doughnut and coffee that none of the major AM radio cranks will mention this help on their shows.
