Police investigate political confrontation

Associated Press
    8:19 AM CDT, October 20, 2008

CALEDONIA, Wis. - Police in Caledonia say they're investigating a weekend attack on a Barack Obama campaign worker.

Nancy Takehara tells WISN-TV she drove from Chicago to help canvass a neighborhood in Caledonia Saturday on behalf of the Democratic presidential nominee.

Ronald Goetsch says he had a heated verbal exchange with Takehara over allegations of voter improprieties in other states and the role of voter registration groups and asked her numerous times to leave his property.

Takehara says Goetsch grabbed her by the back of the neck and was pounding her head and screaming.

Goetsch tells The Journal Times in Racine that he did pull the woman's hair and regrets his actions.

Police say their report on the incident will be forwarded to the Racine County District Attorney's office when it's complete.

no, incidents like this are the result of the culture wars that have been going on since the 60s.

Wow.. that sure is putting country first.

I mean... it's amazing how some of the most ardent McCain supporters who talk about honor and putting country first would stoop to such low levels.

How hypocritical.

Let's just say that door-to-door canvassing isn't done in Germany, and I'm sure stuff like that would happen if it was.

 Why would they not do it in Germany? That sounds very odd.

Ya, we desire to be left alone and feel more comfortable if the parties don't know who their voters are. It is stupid. In a way.

I think it reflects more poorly on white people, I wonder if all white people are going to riot if Mccain losses, I'm really scared because I live in a white neighborhood, shocking I Know, I better get a Mccain bumper sticker and put it on my car so I won't get mugged.

Jesus, shut up.  You're not funny, or smart, or whatever the fuck you're trying to be; you're just annoying.
