Orlando vandals tag 60 cars with anti-Obama, racist messages

Associated Press

- Vandals have spray-painted 60 city vehicles in Orlando, Fla., some with messages against Sen. Barack Obama.

The cars were parked across from city hall late Saturday night. Investigators say the culprits tagged notes such as “Obama smokes crack” and a racial epithet. They even left business cards on each vehicle.

Witness Mike Lowe first told police about the damage. He saw three cars with anti-Obama messages, while the others were just heavily painted.

The business cards disparage both Obama and Sen. John McCain but have messages of support for Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Police also found that many of the vehicles had open gas tanks.

Orlando police are investigating.

  • Concerned

    The authorities in Orlando must realize that most vandals do not leave their card. I hope they will be thoroughly investigating Obama supporters, many who are younger people who have been recruited into his program.
