Yep – once again, the message doesn’t sound like anything liberals actuals say, but oddly sounds exactly like what Republicans claim liberals say.

Those look suspiciously like Mrs. Toomey’s pajamas.

“I am sickened by this disgusting, politically-inspired hatred,” Toomey
said in a statement sent to KYW. “It has no place in a civilized
society. My neighbors are wonderful people who deserve much better. I
hope the cowardly criminals who did this are apprehended and punished.”
…
In this case Sen. Toomey, I would agree with you. Vandalism has no place in political discourse, Neither does groping a woman at a trump rally, or keying a reporter’s car or sending threatening texts to that reporter.

Toomey’s so desperate that he’s resorting to false-flagging to save his ass, eh?

This is what we are devolving into - thugs and graffiti? Like many here I get the feeling this is RWNJ work, not Democrats - and it is the work of teenagers who are being used. It is like the way Germany was in the late 1920s and early 1930s against the Jews. As one poster here noted, it makes it look like one thing, but is actually another - and the GOP will be the ones who will get the backlash. It is ugly and it is frightening.
If this is the kind of anger and violent behavior that we can expect from the GOP egged on by Breitbart News, Donald Trump, Alex Jones, and Michael Savage, then we have a far more serious problem in this country than just one election season. Trump has brought to the surface not only the racism and religious intolerance of his core constituency, but they have no intention of crawling back under their rocks any time soon. Just as racism finally showed its true face after Obama was elected, starting with Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid as its leaders, now we can add sexism, religious intolerance, and ethnic cleansing to a long list of hates and actions that the Trump followers embrace publicly, not just privately. This is not going to end well.
We are better than this, I would hope, as a nation, but until we agree that this kind of behavior and these kinds of attitudes that Trump has encouraged have no place here, we cannot change. WE stand by far too often, silently letting these people rant, never stopping them and saying "People, our fathers and sons and daughters, died so you can say this, but they also died so that the things you embrace will not stand in this nation. They died to protect the very rights you want to take away. They died to protect the innocent and those you call unfit. They died so that people like you would have no say in how our nation is governed because we are a democracy and we will not yield to tyranny. They died so that your hatred and ignorance would not have a place in our society. And they died, so that I can stand here and tell you these things without being afraid or cowed by your actions and your words. WE are the land of the free and the brave - in all its colors, its beliefs, its genders, and its uniqueness. So, if you do not like this nation - leave. If you want something different - go find it elsewhere. Your actions and your words are not who we are or how we handle our problems.
"You want to avoid political correctness that allows for civil discourse, fine - here it is: AMERICA IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE GREAT! WE ARE GREAT BECAUSE WE ALLOW FOOLS LIKE YOU TO SPOUT YOUR POISON AND THEN WE MOVE PAST IT TO FIND CONSENSUS AMONG OUR CITIZENS IN A DEMOCRATIC MANNER. WE VOTE AGAINST THE THUGS AND VANDALS LIKE THOSE WHO SPRAYED THOSE HOMES. WE DO NOT WANT PEOPLE IN THIS NATION WHO THINK WE ARE LESS BECAUSE WE CHOOSE NOT TO EMBRACE HATE AND BIGOTRY, BECAUSE WE ACTIVELY CHOOSE NOT TO EMBRACE IT. PEOPLE WHO RESORT TO THIS KIND OF HATEFUL ACT ARE WHAT MAKE US APPEAR LESS THAN GREAT. AMERICA IS GREAT AND IF WE PROTECT THAT IDEAL OF DEMOCRACY THROUGH PEACEFUL DISCOURSE, NOT CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR, WE REMAIN GREAT NO MATTER WHAT. SO TAKE YOUR HATE AND YOUR VIOLENCE AND LEAVE IF YOU DISAGREE, BUT STOP MAKING IT SEEM LIKE WE ARE ALL THUGS AND IGNORANT FOOLS - BECAUSE, QUITE FRANKLY, MOST OF US ARE NOT LIKE YOU AND WE ARE WHAT MAKES THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA GREAT!

This is terrible. We can say all we want that it’s not as bad as the Republicans, that maybe it’s a red herring, etc., but it’s terrible.

That was my first thought too…“who the fucks says ‘cross worshipers’ as an insult?”
Nobody knows who did it though. I can wait. I’d be more concerned about the impending “sovereign citizen” insanity we’re going to witness.

Whoever it is, sad.
Yep. If they were smart they would have painted “Black Lives Matter”. But they are not smart, and there is no way these clowns could write BLM, even as graffiti. Real aggressors don’t spray their opponent’s tag lines. And “cross-worshippers”? Who says that?

Man, Toomey didn’t even have the stones to do it to his own house, he did it to a neighbor?

Cross-worshippers?? Might have been ISIS!!! Or maybe the intersection of ISIS and DJT’s minions:
Speaking of hoaxes, TPM needs to get on the Trump insurance scam story. He apparently scammed an insurer out of $17 million for non-existent hurricane damage at Mar-a-Lago, and personally pocketed most of it.

“Cross Worshippers”?
Here’s my guess: Yes, it’s a false flag, and the “cross worshippers” is there to make you think Muslims were behind the graffiti (cross = non-Muslim).

Remembering the hyphen in “cross-worshippers” makes me think we are looking for a sleepy, fascist, muslim copyeditor with red paint on his/her index finger.

That’s fucked up. Look, it’s simple…Don’t be an asshole. Doesn’t mean you have to be nice to people you don’t like, and you can say whatever you want, but…If you’re breaking the law, you’re being an asshole. Don’t be an asshole.

Could be Giuliani supporters. Cross-dressers for cross-worshipers.
