The Town of Wawayanda, New York

The town of Wawayanda, New York is situated in the Poughkeepsie-Newburgh metro area. It has a population of 6,273 as of the 2000 census, and a median income of $61,885. The names derives from the Algonquian word for a winding stream. Looks like a pretty place.

The town council has 4 Republicans and one Democrat. And on Tuesday somebody put this in the swimming pool of that lone Democrat.



That's a sanitized photo. A horse's head.

Police are still looking for the culprit.

I can already hear my Republican friends explaining to me that I don't know for sure it was a partisan attack. They could be right.

And then even if it turns out to be partisan, my conservative friends will explain to me that every movement has idiots, and you shouldn't judge the whole against the part. Most Republicans and most Conservatives would reject such thuggish targets, and they are who I should look to to understand Conservatism. Again, they may be right.

But nobody on the right is criticizing Ann Coulter for her calls to eliminate Democrats. They are ignoring outrages by David Horowitz or Michelle Malkin (while getting very upset over the idea that Liberals might want to get Joe Lieberman out of office).

You know the Nazis were a pretty big joke, until they weren't anymore.

Got this from Orcinus, which is a great website, but easy to misspell.
