Democratic Operative's Cat Slaughtered, 'Liberal' Painted On Corpse
WASHINGTON -- The race for the Arkansas' third congressional district took a gruesome turn on Sunday, when the campaign manager for Democratic challenger Ken Aden came home and found his cat slaughtered with the word "liberal" painted on the corpse.
According to a press release sent out by the Aden campaign, "The family pet, an adult, mixed-breed Siamese cat, had one side of its head bashed in to the point the cat's eyeball was barely hanging from its socket. The perpetrators scrawled 'liberal' across the cat's body and left it on the doorstep of [Jacob] Burris' house."
Burris, Aden's campaign manager, told The Huffington Post that it was his 5-year-old son who first saw the atrocity. He had taken his children out to fill the family car with gas before going to church, and the young boy was the first one out of the vehicle when they returned.
The usual classy behavior... Unless, of course, you're cynical enough to try to suggest that the guy killed his own cat and traumatized his children to make headlines....
But then, it's Arkansas, and the Righties there are about as bat-sh*t-crazy as it gets...
I'm pleased to see that these statements had been made:
Aden made clear that he did not believe Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.) or anyone involved with his campaign were involved in the incident, and Beau Walker, Womack's campaign manager, strongly condemned it.
"The thought of brutalizing any animal to make a political statement, no matter what that statement is, is beyond any standard of decency," he told The Huffington Post. "The person or people, if there was more than one, who are responsible -- they definitely need to be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. There should be no tolerance in our political discussion here in this nation for this kind of behavior."
There are all kinds of sick people out there, political affiliation doesn't matter. This is beyond wrong.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
I agree with you SC, it is way beyond wrong that anyone would be so vicious to a domesticated animal who brings nothing but love into the home.
That being said, there is one possibility that our dear LJ left out, a possibility that the left is running another of its false flag operations. I have no more surety that it was some lunatic who was opposed to the candidacy of Burris than I do that it was some lunatic hoping to elevate his chances of being elected. The latter is certainly as well within the realm of possibilities as the former without needing to attribute the act to Burris himself.
Like I said... "Unless, of course, you're cynical enough to try to suggest that the guy killed his own cat and traumatized his children to make headlines...."
Leave it to our own PS to be enough of a sick-f*ck to suggest it.

Not what PS said. He said there is another possibility....that a person of the left wing did this, in order to help the election chances of the lib due to sympathy, and trying to make the conservatives look like crazy people. Kind of like you LJ....everyone who is a conservative is a crazy right winger.
Too bad future generations aren't here to see all the great things we are spending their $$ on!!
