This is an issue I feel needs to be addressed. I am going to assume the perpetrators are teens, their adults need to get involved. For one thing, it does not help your party or candidate when you commit a crime in their name. Secondly, it does nothing to help improve race relations. They are expanding a stereotype, that minority kids are gang members(M13 and VIP 256 are known minority gangs, btw), and they are tying Obama to that stereotype.
I titled this story the way I did because I watched the report on television, and there was "Obama '08" on every single thing they sprayed. It was by far the most prevelant. They need to think about the perception that gives other people.

Yes It has to be addressed without putting the political spin on it. I didn't know you could go that low, but after the Swiftboaters, I'm not surprised
I didn't give it a vote because of the spin

"I didn't give it a vote because of the spin"
Then I assume you never vote for Neo or Aidenag's stories?

That could have been done for political reasons. These tapes are edited before they are shown. Actually you don't have the right to re-title someone else's copyrighted material. It's unethical.

Oh jo, do you really want to go there? I know you are ticked, but you don't need to start grandstanding. If you want to report me for changing a title, you'd better start by reporting Aidenag. This was taken from the McCain website and titled "Spread The Word" there, but Aidenag changed it to "McCain Campaign Rewarding Forum Spammers"

Do I need to cut and paste every example where liberals have tried to cast a bad light on conservatives by changing a title? I will if I have to.
I did not change it to slam anyone, I changed it to make a point. Those vandals sent that message, though I'm sure they didn't mean to. They need to think about it.

Agreed, Grr.
What particularly makes me angry, is the slander of the titling, combined with the fake call to come to reason and be grownups.
Like someone slapping your face and telling you to not get mad.
Voltaire prayed for his enemies to look foolish; I love Voltaire, but when he acted against his own priciples he looked very foolish; because he had become his own enemy.
There may be a moral there.

Someone with a spraycan wrote multiple bits of nonsense, mixing 'obama 08' and alleged gang references, on property in huntsville.
Probably 1 or more kids. Could be political pranksters like the Nixon hirelings who exposed themselves wearing 'vote mcgovern' buttons.
It is important to note:
I AM NOT ACCUSING ZEIGFIELDGIRL OF HAVING DONE THE VANDALISM IN HUNTSVILLE TO SMEAR OBAMA.
That is for the police to decide.
But I am accusing her of deliberatly mislabeling this thread.
