Was some "Deface War Memorials" email sent out or something?

I find such political violence very distasteful.

And self indulgent, and counter productive.

The whole point of protesting is to change people's opinions. If your protests uses violence, you change people's opinions all right; they think you're a jerk.

Which says to me this was the work of a militant anarchist or a mentally-challenged person. For those who were against the Vietnam War, the memorial reflects the names of some of its many victims, not a symbol of those who wrongly sent them there to die in the first place. An anti-Iraq War protester I wouldn't think would attack a memorial for the dead. It was a "True American Patriot" aka pro-war nutjob who defaced the makeshift memorial to our fallen soldiers in Iraq down in Crawford, TX a while back when Cindy Sheehan was there, last year I believe it was.

Then they must of been there when it was spilled. Perhaps they spilled it themselves?

It would make sense, if it was a cleaning agent.

I wonder, if it turns out to be some alcoholic substance, which some old vet poured on it, for his buddy who never came back, will he be charged with something?

Very childish too. But some politicians are childish as well. For months after the 2006 elections, the Dems bought a huge ad on the bus stop in front of the local GOP office congratulating Pelosi for being speaker.

This poor local GOP office sure has been abused.
