From the Star Phoenix this morning...
From a North Battleford source,
"During the night hours of October 25, 2007 to October 26, the front of Herb Cox’s Saskatchewan Party campaign office (1472 – 100th Street in North Battleford) was defaced and damaged with spray painted profanities. Signs at the office were also removed and destroyed. The entire front of the building was spray painted with F**K Herb Cox, etc."
The current NDP candidate is Health Minister, Len Taylor. The Sask Party candidate is Herb Cox.
The constituency of The Battlefords is a swing seat.
As can be evidenced throughout the entire election campaign, these acts specifically target Sask Party candidates and their property.
In the 1999 election the Sask Party and the NDP were almost identical in support. In 2003, the NDP finished 5% ahead of the Sask party.
You would think that if this sign eradication campaign were totally random and being waged by 17 or 18 year olds (as has been claimed by some NDP supporters) the number of signs damaged would, percentage wise, be relatively even. Most teenage kids that vandalize don't pick sides, right?
However, the signs being destroyed are overwhelmingly Sask Party signs. And these acts are occurring right across the province.
These are not random acts perpetrated by teens. These are fully partisan acts.
Either that or more cement heads support the NDP than they do the other parties (which also makes some sense... see Jeff Potts).
Therefore, one has to come to the conclusion that these acts of wilful and malicious damage are intimidation tactics being overwhelmingly perpetrated by NDP supporters and their proxies.
These NDP proxies are trying to send a message to Sask Party supporters that they and their property are not safe.
Calvert cares? Only if you support the NDP...

these people are nuts!!
First it was the glue in the key hole of a campaign office in saskatoon now this.
I think some of these NDP supporters have lost there mind.
This sort of thing is exactly why this blog was set up in the first place.
Having read the link to the NDP website provided by Leftdog, a week or so ago, I understand why this occurs: the NDP have deliberately created an environment where this kind of hate/terrorism is justified as an act of "war", where the ends justify the means.
The NDP Boogeyman, did you hear that clip off the Murray Wood show the other day?

Here's the link that LeftDog provided, below:

I consider this a vile piece of propaganda: it attempts to dehumanize NDP opponents with distortions and oversimplifications: it is designed to deligitimize opposition by describing it as selfish and evil: it does more than just attack an opposing viewpoint: it seems to wilfully promote acts of "war" as being the appropriate response.

==================
They'd have to have one to lose.
The Union goons are most likely showing the public their real respect for democracy and human rights by skulking around in the dark trespassing on private property and trashing Saskparty signs.
By the way - rumors are around that the NDP will likely close more rural hospitals(Health Regions will justify they need too) and call the bombing the "Wellness Program".
You people are slandering the NDP party without proof, and you are so hilariously arrogant and full of yourself that your own general and overwhelming unpopularity never occurs to you. Get bent and get a sense of humour, you started the dirt, people are following your lead and it's ordinary outraged citizens who are doing this. Not party members. You'd better get used to it.
Shining a light on these NDP tactics usually does send supporters on the defensive.
A sense of humour? NDP vandals damaging property and you expect us to laugh?
Outraged citizens? At a party that hasn't been elected? Get real...
Nice try, fiona.
