Angry Kerry Activists Lay Siege to Bush Office in St.
Paul, Intimidate Voters
ST. PAUL -- On the same day that someone fired shots
into the windows at the Bush/Cheney campaign
headquarters in Knoxville, Tennessee, angry Kerry
supporters laid siege to the Bush headquarters in St.
Paul Minnesota today.
"Today's siege on the Bush/Cheney headquarters in St.
Paul was an attempt by Democrats and the Kerry
campaign to intimidate voters who were picking up
tickets to see the President," said Republican Party
of Minnesota State Chair Ron Eibensteiner. "The
Minnesota Kerry Campaign and DFL are ruled by an angry
mob mentality that has nothing positive to offer
Minnesota voters." Today Kerry supporters blocked the
entrance to the Bush campaign's Minnesota headquarters
with buses and proceeded to rush into the headquarters
in a clear attempt to intimidate voters who were
picking up tickets to see the President this Saturday.
Eibensteiner called on DFL Chair Mike Erlandson and
Kerry's Minnesota campaign to immediately cease these
kinds of intimidation tactics.
"Lately, the DFL Party and Kerry Campaign can be best
described as Anger Incorporated," said Eibensteiner.
"They need to stop their escalation of these
intimidation tactics before someone gets hurt."
Eibensteiner pointed out other instances where
out-of-control Kerry supporters have intimidated
voters. For example, at the Gophers football game last
weekend, a Kerry supporter physically assaulted a
female College Republican who was handing out flyers
supporting the President. In a similar incident, Kerry
supporters assaulted College Republicans at the
Minnesota State Fair. During the incident, the union
members elbowed two College Republicans in the head
and threw them to the ground. Also, DFL Party
officials have yet to repudiate a bumper sticker,
which was handed out from their party headquarters
comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler.
"Anger is no substitute for optimistic leadership,"
said Eibensteiner. "Through their actions, Democrats
have shown themselves incapable of governing
themselves, much less our nation, during these
challenging times."
