From the article: "While no damage is reported to the office, the attack damaged the doorway." Not a very successfully firebombing was it?  

There are some really crazy people in Texas. Unfortunately, they aren't all this incompetent.

Well, the problem isn't unique to Texas.  You have a pattern of violence against Democratic/'Liberal' politicians.  Gifford in Arizona, the guy taking pot shots at the White House, the firebombing here.  Heck, even the vandalism of the athiest billboard is part of the pattern.

Yeah, I saw a story from Arkansas where some waste of life killed a liberal politician's cat and carved the word "liberal" into it.  People are sick.

Why the f*ck did that scumbag kill the politician's cat? Couldn't the scumbag have just grafitti'd on the politician's car or something? :mad:

(Sorry; I'm owned by cats, so stories like that really get me. Even beyond the initial outrage against any form of animal cruelty.)

That seems an inadequate epithet in the circumstances.
