Gruesome find at Obama's Colorado Springs headquarters

by Miranda K. Bacon, Denver Crime Examiner

Police are investigating after a severed deer head was found tossed in the parking lot of Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign headquarters in the historically Republican stronghold of Colorado Springs last night.

According to reports, the buck's antlers had been removed from his skull to make the head appear like a donkey's.

Republican candidate John McCain's camp has already dismissed the act as "despicable," and said they hope for constructive dialogue instead of that type of "hate speech."

The incident comes a day after ATF officials announced they'd foiled two white supremacists' plot to kill Obama, and just days after a McCain operative was on the receiving end of a death threat in Denver.

Why is it that election time always brings out the crazies?

To the creeps who left the disgusting surprise at Obama's HQ, I dedicate the following to you.
