On Saturday night Republican headquarters in Orange County North Carolina was firebombed and a neighboring building was vandalized. Fortunately, no one was injured when a bottle of flammable liquid was thrown through the front window.
Democrats are such peaceful people.
Terrorism is defined as; “the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims”. This was an act of terrorism.
North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory called the act, ““an attack on our democracy,”
Do these stupid vandals think this will drive people away from Trump and other Republicans? This cowardly act will have the opposite outcome.

republican TERRORISTS ON THE LOSS IN NC!!!
Turns out, on the same night the Orange County, NC, republican office was firebombed, someone also attacked the nearby Democratic Party building in Carrboro.
Democratic officials in North Carolina have asked law enforcement to
step up protection of campaign workers after Orange County offices for
both the Republican and Democratic parties were targeted on the same
day.
On Sunday, the Republican Party said that its Orange County headquarters was set ablaze by vandals. Graffiti found on a nearby building said, “Nazi Republicans leave town or else.”
In a message
posted to Twitter, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump blamed
the attack on “[a]nimals representing Hillary Clinton and Dems in North
Carolina.”
But Orange County Democratic Party Chair Matt Hughes told Raw Story
on Monday that vandals had also targeted his offices in Carrboro. Both
attacks were said to have occurred early Sunday morning.
According to Hughes, staffers found the words “Death to Capitalism” scrawled on the OCDP headquarters when they came into work.
“There’s a chilling effect,” he explained. “We have staff and we have
volunteers who work in that office… I’m one of those folks who
sometimes works late into the night in a party office and you wonder
about your safety when you look at things like what happened [to the GOP
office] in Hillsborough or something like ‘Death to Capitalism.’ A lot
of folks see that as a threat, not even a veiled threat.”
Hughes called the two incidents “a heck of a coincidence.”
“If they are connected, it is someone who adheres to a very-far-out-there political ideology,” he remarked.
I am of course waiting for the Republican camp to run ads showing the Wikileaks email encouraging vandalism and then this scene, and insinuating a link. Again, waiting.
It didn’t even take the media 24 hours to bury this story.
Had it been a Democratic office we would have been listening to panels of pscyhologists exploring the conservative mind for at least a week, but 24 hours after the GOP headquarters is burned you can’t even find it on news aggregators without doing a search for it.
The bombing occurred Saturday night and hit the major media outlets Sunday, which was yesterday. How on earth do you claim the story has been buried?
It will be interesting to see if they cover any of the o’keefe audio about democrat inspired violence. They spent days on Trump.
LOOK! A cover up!
Oh that’s right, I should have said a FOLLOW up.
Look, Bias — the Night of the Unburied Story!

James O’Keefe catches Democrat operatives plotting violence and disruption of Trump and Republicans. See Breitbart lead article. Bombing of NC GOP not surprising.
James O’Keefe? Now there’s a reliable source for you.
Except for one small detail – the guy on the other end is yours.
While Trump and TBE staff were busy fanning the flames of anger, Democrats raised money to get the office back on its feet.
https://www.gofundme.com/reopen-a-nc-republican-office-2ukuprzy
Good! They should do that. They feel guilty for what they’re people did.
That’s about the only kind of article you can find about the story on the news aggregators. Literally if you do a search about the GOP office being burned on the major news aggregators that story about Democrats raising money comes up first. Pathetic. The media can’t be trusted AT ALL, they are so in the tank for Democrats.
Like I said, if it had been a Democrat office we would have been subjected to weeks of discussion about how hateful Republicans are, etc, it would have been wall-to-wall coverage and something like local Republicans raising money to help would have never made the news.
So here’s your incedent. Don’t see the media exactly going berserk about it. In fact, it looks like suppression…
https://www.rawstory.com/2016/10/nc-democratic-headquarters-attacked-on-same-night-nearby-gop-office-was-firebombed/
You just provided confirmation of an attack by the radical left of the Democrat Party. Death to capitalism – OWS/Bernie supporter. Nazi Republicans get out of town and firebombing – OWS/Bernie supporter. Only question to me is spray paint same color and same handwriting style.
Who cares whether they raise some money. They have put the GOP HQ out of business a few weeks before the national election and deprived some elderly/infirmed Americans of their vote. Job well done when the end justifies the means. See o’keefe.
Why do you let that moron post articles on your website Jeanine? I can’t tell the difference between this idiot and a Democrat, but I repeat myself.
BUSTED!!!!!!
NC GOP OFFICIAL ADMITS THE BURNED-OUT ORANGE COUNTY GOP OFFICE WAS THE CENTER OF A HUGE ABSENTEE BALLOT FRAUD OPERATION!!!
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/nc-republican-office-firebombed-nazi-gopers-threatened-graffiti-n667316
— quote
North Carolina Republican Party spokeswoman Emily Weeks told NBC News
that the office is totally unusable and that materials inside, possibly
including completed absentee ballots, may have been destroyed.
— end quote
WHY WERE “COMPLETED ABSENTEE BALLOTS” IN THE GOP OFFICE?
Now, if a few people working at the office were voting absentee and had their own ballots in the office, I can understand that. If that’s the situation, those destroyed ballots can be replaced by the county registrar.
However, this raises the question of a massive absentee ballot fraud operation by the NC GOP. This is how it works . . . or at least this is how it was being done in Wilkinson County, MS.
— GOP official goes to nursing homes and to the homes of elderly and disabled.
— Convinces people there to vote absentee and “I can help you.”
— Then . . . well, you know where that leads.
After all, NC is the state where their recent law designed to restrict voting was overturned by a federal court who discovered the NC republican-controlled legislature “with surgical precision” placed new restrictions on minority voters.
Nice try. Unfortunately, you are trying to change the subject. And people of both parties go to nursing homes or the homes of elderly who want to vote.
Changing the subject, like pointing to an article about causing trouble at rallies? Pot calls kettle black.
This site deserves better trolls.
It isn’t about causing trouble at rallies. That is but a small part of the plan to disrupt the American political process.
They hadn’t turned them into the registrar’s office yet. This fact that this office was fire-bombed and these absentee ballots destroyed is in itself evidence of election fraud and manipulation.
At this point, he is in distraction mode. Can’t defend and now has to defend the breitbart/o’keefe video. Can’t admit to himself that the Democrat party is lawless.
This post should be withdrawn or edited.
Who did it? Johnson supporters? Stein supporters? Clinton supporters? Trump supporters? Drunken good ole boys on a destructive prank?
You don’t know. And given the official party duties of individuals on TBE’s staff, this looks a lot like the GOP accusing the Democratic Party of arson.
You sound as though you expect fair, balanced, reasonable, logical, fact-based coverage on a republican website.
I hope for a little better on a site whose subhead reads “Conservative and libertarian news, analysis, and entertainment.” I believe that Jeanine and Steven are motivated by love of country and generally keep the bar of local conservative dialogue from going down the toilet.
Here, they’ve not only given in to base emotion, they’ve done it one article away from a post naming Jeanine to a Trump VA leadership spot.
Don’t be ridiculous. I have never been a Trump fan, but he is our nominee.
There is nothing emotional about this post. It’s reality. Democrats bombed a Trump headquarters in North Carolina.
You have no evidence of that. This is pretty much the definition of libel if it is shown to be otherwise.
Libel is focused on an individual and, thus, Trump can sue for libel. A group has no such protection.
Then it is perfectly fine to come up with any wild allegation you would like against any group of 2 or more people, please continue to do so.
Happens all the time unless you have actual proof. Libel is notoriously difficult to prove and usually involves repeated libeling against an individual without retraction. I suggest you check the Project Veritas video for reasonable proof of fraud, criminal collusion and racketeering by the Democrat Party.
“said one of Donald Trump’s Virginia leadership team.”
Again, can you cite something, anything to validate your statement of supposed fact?
If not, you’re just as much a fraud as the msm.
Google libel
See Breitbart lead story.
Yep!! And thanks to the o’keefe video we have more than reasonable suspicion.
As the election process winds down, there will be more Democrat inspired violence. Actually, socialist inspired violence is more accurate as the once proud Democrat party has become the party of international socialism – open borders, multiculturalism, and anti-national agenda.
There are hundreds of incidents of this type of violence, and it all stems from the anarchists, unionists and socialists that make up the Democrat base. There are virtually no incidents of Republicans doing these things.
Eventually, people do fight back against totalitarian tyranny, and we see more and more people arming themselves to defend themselves.
That’s a hell of a leap to accuse Democrats for this. It could just as easily be Trump supporters. They don’t have any love for the GOP.
Yeah, right, so Trump supporters are going around firebombing GOP HQ’s and writing “Nazi Republicans leave town or else”. Right.
The left substitutes emotion for reason.
Yeah, they can even convince themselves that somehow all these poor country people and people from small towns who vote Republican are somehow oppressing THEM. Like it never occurs to them that the cities are where all the large corporations are that run the world, and those are the same people who vote Democrat in every election. Who is oppressing who.
Interestingly, the founders were very concerned about the political impact of large cities – wasn’t good.
Have you not seen who is committing 98% of the violence.
No proof who. But where does thuggery typically come from at this level of operation?
In a court of law it is called circumstantial evidence. When a consistent pattern emerges, it is evidentiary.
If you go to Breitbart, you can read the audio. One thing that troubled me was that the Democrat thugs targeted older people because they tended to be less aware.
That video is really creepy. Those guys talking about planning to cause violence at Trump rallies was pretty hard to watch. It’s the kind of thing the conspiracy people talk about but you never think Democrats would go quite that far, but then there it is, on video, it’s pretty shocking.
Your point as to Law is taken.
We are now part French Revolution, part Weimar, and what will we get? A Robespierre, a Napoleon as outcome, a Hitler … name your other favorite degenerate despots.
When Law collapses, thuggery rules. We see this in this election. I find it all very disturbing.
Obviously RICO violation at a minimum
I have an 85 year old friend whose grandmother and 8 children escaped from the Hitler genocide. He is beyond disturbed and should be.
Domestic political terrorism by #NeverHilLIARy’s “gang of dispicables”. And there was MORE…..

And your proof that Democrats did this is . . . . ????
Of course, if this had been a Democratic Party HQ that was firebombed, you’d be shrieking “FALSE FLAG!!!”
You clowns are so predictable.
Republicans don’t firebomb anything.
Keep telling yourself that.
Meanwhile, perhaps you need to read what is happening in Arizona where the Arizona Republic newspaper endorsed a Democrat for the first time in their history. It’s ugly. Not only do Republicans firebomb, they threaten murder and mayhem.
On Sunday, the head of an Arizona newspaper that endorsed Hillary
Clinton revealed some of the threats that she and her staff have
received from angry Trump supporters and resolved to stand firm.
Republic Media president Mi-Ai Parrish spoke to CNN Money’s Jill Disis about the backlash the Arizona Republic
newspaper has weathered since it endorsed Democratic presidential
nominee Hillary Clinton over Republican nominee Donald Trump.
“We’re being targeted … it’s not the America I know. It’s not the democracy I love,” she said.
“As someone who has spent a career in the business of words, it’s unusual to find myself speechless,” Parrish wrote in an op-ed published this weekend. “What is the correct response, really, to this?”
She then published some of the hateful phrases that have been
directed at her and the Republic staff since the traditionally
conservative newspaper declined to endorse Republican presidential
nominee Donald Trump:
YOU’RE DEAD. WATCH YOUR BACK.
WE WILL BURN YOU DOWN.
YOU SHOULD BE PUT IN FRONT OF A FIRING SQUAD AS A TRAITOR.
The newspaper, said CNN, has been deluged with threatening calls.
Some callers referenced the murder of Republic reporter Dan Bolles, who
was killed with a car bomb in 1976. The killing was never solved, but Bolles’ last word was “mafia.” He had reported on organized crime in the past.
The caller, wrote Parrish, spoke to a Republic staffer named Kimberly and told her that more reporters will be “blown up” because the newspaper endorsed a Democrat.
“She sat in my office and calmly told three Phoenix police detectives
what you had said,” Parrish told the anonymous caller. “She told them
that later, she walked to church and prayed for you. Prayed for
patience, for forgiveness. Kimberly knows free speech requires
compassion.”
“I absolutely welcome debate and free expression, and I will protect
and uphold the right of people to say ugly things to me. That’s part of
how this works,” Parrish said, but the “horrifying” call went beyond the
pale and sets a precedent that she finds “incredibly dangerous.”
She explained that young people selling Republic subscriptions door-to-door have been spit on and yelled at.
She went on to invoke her own family history.
“To those of you who have said Jesus will judge me, that you hope I
burn in hell, that non-Christians should be kept out of our country, I
give you my pastor grandfather,” she said.
“Much as my grandfather taught, I also know there are a lot of things worth standing up for.”
Her grandfather, she said, was imprisoned and tortured for his
Christian faith. Her mother grew up under a dictatorship. The violent
threats, heated rhetoric and vicious name-calling, she said, has only
made her more confident in the Republic’s decision not to endorse Trump,
who the editors called “no qualified” and “not conservative.”
She commended her staff’s talent and courage and said, “I’m just honored to stand by their side.”
The Republic is Arizona’s largest newspaper and has never
previously endorsed a Democrat for president. The editorial board joined
other conservative newspapers that ultimately declined to fall in
behind the Republican Party’s nominee.
And it’s not just Arizona. In my Northern Neck County, the following has occurred within the past week:
— A 78-yr-old grandmother, a Democrat, was approached by two “rough-looking men” who stopped in front of her house and, pointing to her Clinton-Kaine sign, told her she “better be careful” who she votes for.
— Two Democrats have had their Clinton-Kaine bumper stickers spray painted, resulting in paint damage to their cars.
— I was accosted in the hardware store parking lot by a very angry Republican who stood there, patting the pistol on his hip as he cursed at me because of my Clinton-Kaine bumper sticker. I laughed at him and went on about my business. REALLY pissed him off.
No excuse for violence here, but once again just like the reported abuse accusations the Republicans talk and the Dems do.
All I need to know about Clinton and the democrat party I read from their own words.
Timothy. McVeigh.
You’re more of a Republican than he was.
Given that I’m more of a Republican than you, your statement is a blinding flash of the obvious.
Since Republicans control the House and the Senate, an emergency meeting to address this attack along with the admission of coordinated violence involving the DNA and Clinton Campaign would be appropriate.
Our GOP leadership in Washington is worthless.
I am calling tomorrow and will demand such a meeting now. This is a national emergency.
Ferguson, Baltimore, cop assassination, school killings – virtually every incidence of mass violence has a Democrat socialist root.
Charlotte.
The list is rather impressive.
you seriously wrote put out that sub-header with absolutely zero basis in fact and then doubled down with that comment?
Mind if I ask how you came to make that statement as an absolute? You have inside knowledge of the ongoing investigation?
That’s irresponsible as hell and no, I’m not a Democrat. Jesus, this stupid election can’t get over soon enough. It’s not the end of the Earth or the frigging Country. Hopefully, supposedly reasonable people will revert back to some semblance of decorum once this crap is over. And yes, that includes whoever the individual or group that decided trashing an election hq was a proper course of action. Dipshittery all around………
If it walks like a duck…
Thanks to Obama, incidents of violence associated with a social justice agenda has increased.
Jeanine. Timothy McVeigh was a Republican. Argue if you wish that he used explosives, not firebombs.
Ok. You found ONE. Although I don’t think he was working for campaigns or active in the party. He sometimes voted Republican.
mcveigh was a believer in the Hitler regime and focused on the turner diaries. Don’t get fooled by the attempts to paint him as a republican unless you think republican and national socialism are the same thing.
Nope. He was a socialist. Check the FBI reports.
He is in a panic, and wants to change the subject. Wikileaks has exposed the utter anti-American nature of the Democrat operatives and now there is audio proof of it. They got Trump on audio now they can’t escape the audio about their plans for violence.
Yeah class,someone should perform an intervention.
Sign vandalism, property crimes, open your eyes.
You guys can’t control your loons, perhaps your brown shirts are getting a jump on things??
Brown shirt violence has been everywhere in this campaign. The average citizen can’t go to a Trump rally without being subject to intimidation and violence. Hillary has no such problems – except for someone yelling Bill is a Rapist who is then escorted out and roughed up out of camera shot.
People like old red neck aren’t shocked by the firebombing because they knew who does such things. All they can do is yell and try to shift the blame.
Note to self: ‘Remove Trump hat before ordering Food or Drink.
How much do we trust activists/renegades of the democrat party? That apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
BTW, I believe Wikileaks mentioned sign and/or other thuggery.
Especially on a college campus with the snowflakes being triggered by the sight of red.
Old Redneck’s probably in on it.
Could you try not to be such a jerk about this until everyone has at least a few hours to absorb what happened. It’s the NC GOP, people in Virginia work with them, and here you are being a jackass.
I find when people scream so loud, they do so to hide what they know to be true.
I think you mean crass. And who,was it hat supported that lawlessness in the various BLM riots. HMMMMM!
