Here’s the proud press release:
Last night, on the eve of the Democratic National Convention, we trashed the Democratic Party Headquarters in Asheville, NC. We dumped several gallons of used motor oil onto their front porch and painted, “No war, No warming, No Drilling” on their walls.
Asheville Democratic Party Headquarters Trashed in Opposition to Oil Drilling and War
Last night, on the eve of the Democratic National Convention, we trashed the Democratic Party Headquarters in Asheville, NC. We dumped several gallons of used motor oil onto their front porch and painted, “No war, No warming, No Drilling” on their walls.
We took this action to express our outrage at the Democrats pandering to the oil companies. Instead of looking for real solutions to global warming, the Democratic party, including the head honcho himself, Barack Obama, is pushing to open up more of our fragile coastal ecosystems to oil drilling. If this plan is allowed to go forward thousands of miles of coastline could be devastated by this toxic industry. All the while, greenhouse gas emissions will escalate, and our Earth’s climate will teeter closer to the tipping point.
Meanwhile the Democrats continue to fully support the war on terror. While making half hearted gestures about ending the Iraq war, they have remained unabashed supporter of the war in Afghanistan. One recent highlight of this “just” war was the massacre of over 90 civilians at a wedding last week. Democrats, may the ghost of these innocents haunt you for the rest of your lives.
This action was taken in solidarity with all those in the streets of Denver, and people around the world who refuse to be silent.
Citizens Hoping Against New Gas Emissions

Well, when I first read the name of the group I thought they were protesting either Taco Bell or cattle farming…. talk about gas emissions! In all seriousness, I don’t care what party you align with, stupid extremist outbursts like this never result in any positive change. It just makes people who have ‘liberal’ viewpoints even more hated. Also, for the environmentalists paying attention to details, dumping used motor oil on a porch means that it will end up somewhere it wasn’t intended, in a storm drain, in soil, etc. So… these folks violated the law in more ways than one AND polluted the environment with their used motor oil, countering the principles they are arguing/protesting about! Brilliant!
I wonder how many petrol products will be used to clean that mess up?
