In what universe is this okay? Tribalism now means we can just do whatever to those we don't like politically, and it's okay?? I'm no fan of Hillary Clinton, but damn, this is clearly wrong. The problem is many Conservatives would see this as no more than her due... and many Liberals would see vandalism of the grave of a parent of a Conservative in the same way (and I used capital letters deliberately).

*smdh*....the only reason some people are still alive is because it's illegal to kill them.

After Announcing Her Bid, Vandals Desecrate Clinton's Father's Grave (VIDEO)

Only hours after Hillary's announcement, vandals who didn't like the announcement took it out on Clinton's father's grave site.

Doesn't matter what a person's political views are, this is never an acceptable behavior.

CW3 Private RallyPoint Member, I wonder how these vandals would react had these terrible acts been done to their families' graves? Shameful behavior!

You don't have to agree with someone's politics or position, but you DO have to be civil. Totally unacceptable and immature.

I have never like Hillary. But I hope that whoever the vandals are,they will be caught and punish. Attack the person if you must but leave family alone. When you attack their family, you become nothing but a terrorist

Now that we have all the expressions of condemnation out of the way - is anyone REALLY surprised about this type of behaviour?

This is the type of behaviour which is generally described as "shameful [nudge, nudge, wink, wink]" and it's becoming "as American as Mom and Apple Pie" - because it works.

And do you think that anyone is going to turn the perpetrators in? [HINT:- persons responding in the affirmative will be offered a free holiday trip simply because they are "valued customers of __[insert name of company you have never done business with but which telephones you daily]__".]
