Vandal spray-paints graffiti on local Obama headquarters

Supporters of Barack Obama in Longview, TX were proud when actor Samuel L. Jackson skipped the Oscars last Sunday to stump for Obama in their East Texas town. According to KETK News, some 400 people showed up at Eddie Towles Telephone Repair Service, the local Obama headquarters, to hear Jackson speak.

But on Monday morning, Longview police called Eddie Towles to alert him that his business had been vandalized. When Towles showed up, he found the misspelled word "racits" scrawled on the front of his building and "racist" spray-painted on both his vans.

"Now I cannot take my vans out with my technicians and service the good people of Longview with that 'racist' painted on the side of my vans," Towles told local tv news. "I am not a racist," said Towles, who is black. "I take this personally. They can destroy my vans but they'll never be able to destroy my spirit."

In a follow-up segment, Towles and his wife Patti reported that since the story first broke, "the phone has been ringing non-stop" with calls from concerned local residents. "My heart has been so touched by so many good people here in Longview," Towles stated. "Several offered to pay for the damage to my vans."

2. Yep Time To Start A New Dictionary

It will have all the gems they seem to non spell like moran and this new one racits! Perhaps they need a proof reader when they go to vandalize.

3. I'm reminded of something from "Studio 60"...

D. L. Hughley's character, talking to a young black staff writer about the racist letters the show received on DL's behalf, which had disturbed the staff writer:

"You've got to learn to love it as much as I do. Not one of my haters can spell 'spear-chucker' with a crayon."

DON'T. It was some members of the E. Texas Hannity Fan Club.

6. Who said anything about blaming Hillary? nt

[democrattotheend]

13. Nobody even mentioned Hillary here

You are the first one I have heard mention that possibility. It never even crossed my mind...this looks like a disgusting act by white supremacists.

7. so in East Texas

if you're a black guy who supports the black guy, you're a "racits".

and if you're a white guy who supports the white guy.... Bidness As Usual.

11. Sounds like one lone nut

Gratifying to read that Towles' phone has been ringing non-stop with messages of support. If 99 people like you, and one twit with a can of spray paint doesn't, focus on the majority. I'm hopeful that our nation is beginning to snap out of its fear-induced coma and remembering our humanity. Now, if we can get Congress to take a look at source of this fear, we might even purge ourselves of some its more odious practitioners.
