Lies, Drugs, and Barack Obama Supporters

It looks like we have another case of somebody playing the race card and as the facts are coming out it is something totally different.

In this case it is a staunch Obama supporter in Cumming, GA. It seems that while she was in Washington, DC to attend the inauguration her home was torched and racist graffiti was scrawled on a fence.

When I first read the story the BS meter started ticking, so I took the wait-and-see attitude. Well, this is my reward.

Fire Department spokesman Capt. Jason Shivers says authorities arrested 47-year-old Pamela Graf Tuesday on drug charges but says she is listed as a suspect in the fire. He says investigators executing a search warrant on her car and room at a motel found marijuana and cocaine.

Along with Ms. Graf, her boyfriend was also arrested in connection with the incident.

Graf's boyfriend, 46-year-old Steve Strobel, also was arrested Tuesday in Barrow County and charged with obstruction of justice and giving false statements related to the fire investigation. He also is listed as a suspect.

Back when the original story hit, in our local rag, the AJC (Atlanta Journal Constitution), the comments on the story were predominately critical of the people of Forsyth County, and expressed a belief that the majority of the folks who lived there were bigots and racists, mostly because they didn't vote for Obama.

At the time of the incident, the head of the Forsyth County Democratic Party said this:

Last night, Marie Anderson, chairman of the Forsyth County Democratic Party, put out this statement:

”In response to the recent house fire which occurred in Forsyth County and is suspected to have been racially motivated, the Forsyth County Democratic Party condemns hate crimes of any nature.

“Should the allegations prove to be true, we as residents of Forsyth County, whether Republican or Democrat, Obama supporter or not, should be shocked and appalled that this type of incident would happen here in our County.”

Go ahead and browse the comments.

Now is it my turn to say: typical Obama supporter.
