Occupy Protesters Vandalize Obama Campaign Office
Another round of property destruction for Occupy Oakland
Protesters smashed a large window at President Obama's re-election campaign office in downtown Oakland late Friday night, tore down a nearby fence and vandalized cars, according to police, witnesses and video footage.
Staffers and volunteers were inside the Organizing for America office at 1714 Telegraph Ave. when it was vandalized after 9 p.m., but no one was hurt, said a staffer who declined to be identified. The office is a joint effort of the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Hmmm. Tea Partiers don't like the GOP in power and the Occupiers don't like the Dems in power. Sounds like we are in need of another political party. Maybe something that can represent the majority and not just the lobbiests.
Who's the lobbiest of them all?
Misleading title of article: Occupy Protesters Vandalize Obama Campaign Office
Per article:
"East Bay Uncontrollables" is the group responsible, not the Occupy Protesters.
