PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Philadelphia police are searching for those responsible for vandalizing the car of the Republican candidate for mayor.

Mayoral candidate Karen Brown, who is running against incumbent Michael Nutter, says someone splattered paint on her car in South Philadelphia early Tuesday morning.

Brown said the vandalism and other campaign problems are signs of politics as usual in Philadelphia.

“This is what happens in Philadelphia politics, you can’t even have a fair race. It’s bad enough I got my party actually doing ballots without me on it … and then I got people vandalizing my car on the day of the election,” Brown said.

Brown says her car has been vandalized at least 10 times. So far, no arrests have been made.

    I can’t wait until Philly goes broke and they gravy train for these maggots derails!!

    • JByrd42

      They will never go broke. With papa Obama in the white house, they will get a bail out. Obama has to take care of his union thugs.

  • Gary

    That has union written all over it.

  • caligula

    well…it’s always sunny…

  • dump28usn

    Leave the car with all of the paint on it and it would be a great political move to show how the Democrats function. This is just a preview of what to expect from the Democrats come the Presidential race. They will stop at nothing to get Obama elected so expect some real doozies in the campaign!

  • Redz

    She should take a cue from the movie, “Road House” and buy a junker to drive around for the leftist street trash to vandalize, while leaving her good car intact.

  • Obamaroid Ointment

    Check out the usual suspects. Do those New Black Panthers from Philly that were threatening voters with billy clubs at the polls in the ’08 election have an alibi?

    • Jane Smith

      Probably not, but I bet they all have spray cans.

  • b da truth

    Maybe the Black Democrats doing it will fess up and turn themselves in, unless of course it is the Black police force doing it.
    Maybe Eric Holder will investigate it like a civil rights violation? HAhahAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahahHHHAaa

  • ronnie

    Wait… a black city…with a lot of VIOLENCE??!! There must be a mistake.

    I know..let’s blame on.. DA MAN.

  • Hater

    Would this have happened if Karen Brown was brown?

    • Jane Smith

      Probably, look how Herman Cain is being treated.

      • phnx

        The real question,,,would this have happened if she were liberal.

  • James

    All of America’s cesspools are Democratic/Liberal areas. Your less intelligent type is a Democrat.

  • UnPCdMOM

    What a remarkable display of ethics and fiscal responsibility by her opponents
    Can’t you just wait to see what they do to the whole city when they win

    “Philadelphia police are searching….” It wouldn’t be too surprising to learn that the FOP and police union were involved in more than an investigation of this crime.

    Here’s a thought: Stay anonymous for a little while longer until you can start making sense.

  • SerfCityHereWeCome

    What? Rioting Depressioncrat thugs, goons and terrorists intimidating and suppressing the GOP vote? Why, I can’t believe Eric Holder isn’t all over this! …helping them out with it…

  • JByrd42

    Just liberals acting like liberals. Such poor losers. And I mean losers!

  • Cromulent

    These are just the wages of America big city liberalism. And you wonder why people in the sticks revile you.

  • monty

    A Republican? That’s not news!

  • darrell7887

    This is a form of voter disenfrachisement. The liberal communistscan’t help it they have a mental disease.

  • Tim

    Does this surprise anyone? Usually Democrats wait until election day to start slashing tires and busting out windows.

  • JacobsLadder

    It’s because they know she’ll beat out NutterButter. I hope she wins in spite of the looney tunes.

    • Hater

      I wish, but you know over 90% of blacks only vote black. So much for judging by the content of their character not by the color of their skin.

      • Freeway21

        Well, I’m a Black Republican, so I’m in the 10% who will be voting for Karen Brown. Mayor Nutter has really brought this city further down than it was. We want to go UP the ladder, not stay at the bottom holding it steady for others to get to the top. Come on, Karen Brown. Let’s get Nutter out of office once and for all. No re-election for this guy.

      • AmenBrother

        Dr King is rolling over in his grave.

      • Freeway21

        Let him roll. I refuse to vote for someone just because of the color of their skin. My mind set is, if I think they can do the job, skin color isn’t an issue. For me, it’s all about if I think they can do the job and get things right again. And for the record, I didn’t vote for a President either. Reason: I never even heard of Obama until 6 months before the election so I had no idea about his political situation and 6 months is not enough time for me to decide. And McCain ran such a ragedy, desperate campain it wasn’t funny. So, sue me.

      • Japes Macfarland

        We could have brought that 90% down to maybe even 60% if Cain hadn’t imploded. (Although I’m still holding a small hope he won’t he destroyed.) The power-mongering, dishonest by default, Left knows that they’re finished if they lose their cultural slaves.
        I have a dream that all minority groups will be more like Cuban Americans.

  • Sam Roberts

    Philadelphia politics at it’s very best.

  • U.N. Owen

    Are you advocating vandalism or anarchy?

  • JByrd42

    Only if they’re liberal.

  • George Johnson

    Typical liberal, doesn’t know the difference between “protect yourself from”, and “murder them”.
    God, what idiots.

  • Japes Macfarland

    He said “protect yourselves”, genius. This means he’s willing to do his best in defending himself and his family from the hate filled Left. I agree, and think it’s a man’s duty, in particular, to do all he can to defend his family. You leftists are clearly starting to lose it, as the hatred is spilling out in acts of violence all over the country.

  • U.N. Owen

    How do you know these people are from drudge? You must go there a lot if you know that it is posted there.

  • U.N. Owen

    No you did =P

  • Japes Macfarland

    Let me just guess without even looking it up first. Philly has been run by leftists and Unions for a very long time now?

  • Jason

    Ding ding! You win!

  • John Breckenridge

    @ Patricia: You’re right, of course. However, and take this from someone who has studied the animal world for more years than he can remember: Predatory animals only kill for food, they don’t hate their prey, they actually love it because it is the stuff that keeps them alive. Yet they are capable of more kindness, love and loyalty than the human offal of the American Left, to which nothing is too low and degrading in order to destroy a political opponent.

  • David Duke

    You want me to get you some cheese to go with your whine?

  • Patricia

    David I highly doubt YOU would live anywhere near or About the low life left.

    . Your like Obama High above and Far away from HIS base.

    YOUR kind can do all the uncivilized craziness you want I just want you and them to do if for their FOOD & Shelter now..

    Don’t like that, Feel free to take the whole gagagle in on YOUR dime..
    But then again it is the upper echelon of the LEFT that thrives on this lower than thou totem pole.You need them to maintain any power.. wait till all the cages are opened.. I see your types running over each to get away the fastest.

    Fools born ever minute your sir madam are

  • http://imallset.wordpress.com jeff22192

    Good call blaming the victim. So by your analysis the Democrat from Arizona must have deserved getting shot…Yes I’m aware that makes about as much sense as the drivel you posted.

  • Roach

    Opressed?? …please. Another fine american example of what a city of govt. dependants can do. Thank the Dem Socialist agenda of creating a welfare city. It’s just what they had intended. I agree, look to the Union leaders for the answer/arrest.

    Same city that callls hate crimes “Flash mobs”…actually, it more resembles the streets of Mogadishu in Black Hawk Down.

    Pilladelphia = Turd

    The founding fathers are weeping

  • TomB

    Yes, obviously the perpetrator was victimized by the heartless Republican mayors who held a deathgrip on the office from 1872 until their last mayor left office in 1952. The 9 Democratic mayors since 1952 have only had 59 years to reverse the damage done by their predecessors. They cannot be blamed!

  • srcamacho

    That’s the stvpidist thing I’ve ever heard. Did anyone say that when Gabrielle Giffords got shot?

  • Jordan_B

    Was Giffords up for election the day she got shot?

  • You Suck

    Utterly. Moronic.

  • Joe

    You are clearly uneducated sir and this may be the single stupidest comment I have ever seen on here. The Nazi’s killed millions of COMMUNISTS and SOCIALISTS and were closely allied with German industry. In fact Mussolini, Hitler’s closest ally, said “Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.” You may disagree with this president’s policies, as I do with many, but to compare him to mass murders like Hitler is a disgrace and an insult to their many victims. You should be ashamed of yourself and try opening a history book.

  • Justin Keeble

    So The DEMOCRATIC Peoples republic of Korea and the old German Democratic Republic are/where really democracies where they ? By your warped logic they must be.

    The Nazi’s were right-wing and came to power with a coalition of conservative politicians and bankrolled by the industrialists. Their fist victims to be oppressed were the socialists and the Nazi’s created the concentration camps to house them.

    You need to read a history book, you are badly misinformed and your comments make you look uneducated and ignorant. I take it you are attempting to use ‘newspeak’ to dissociate your own far-right views with those of the Nazi’s.

    You’d have a better time arguing that Stalin was no socialist but a right-wing fascist, because that’s nearer the truth.

  • Edmund Burke

    The philosopher Santayana once wrote, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Most Americans know nothing about history. Italian Fascists, German Nazis and Soviet Communists shared many of the same ideals and tactics. Italian fascist dictator Mussolini, for example, was a major socialist editor and politician before World War One. He and his ideas were very popular in American “progressive” circles in the 1920s and 1930s—as were those of Lenin and Stalin.
    In 1933, Hitler came to power legally through a democratic election. His Nazi party won a near majority in the parliament. Claiming that Germany needed a strong government to solve its economic problems, he persuaded a majority in parliament to pass an enabling act giving him dictatorial powers for four years. The parliament abdicated its constitutional authority, giving Hitler the opportunity to seize total control through administrative orders and violent thugs in the streets. Sound familiar?

  • Edmund Burke

    Certainly Fascists and Communists killed millions of each other’s followers and anyone else that got in their way. Remember that Hitler and Stalin became allies in the late 1930s and shared in the rape of Poland. There are obviously some differences between Fascist and Communist ideas, but not as much as you think. Both fostered the belief in an infallible leader and the abject subjection of individuals to the State. Both had utopian, unrealistic goals and were willing to use unlimited force to achieve them. Unlimited use of power led to unlimited violence.
    I doubt most of those who were infatuated with early Fascism or Communism thought either would lead to mass murder and war.
    Does that make President Obama a Fascist or Communist? I doubt it. But his disregard for our Constitution and the rights of Congress and state legislatures, combined with the overuse of Presidential orders is pointing America in the wrong direction.
