Hours after a Fayetteville, North Carolina Obama rally during which the tires of over 30 vehicles were slashed, supporters of John McCain heckled voters at a polling place.

The Washington Times reports: “An organizer at the rally rattled off the addresses of early vote sites nearby that would be open after the event. Photographer Joe Eddins and I headed over to the closest one and found a steady line of voters hoping to cast ballots early. Most seemed to be Obama supporters and several had come from the rally. Nearly all the voters were black. Also at the polling site was a group of loud and angry protesters who shouted and mocked the voters as they walked in. Nearly all were white. As you can see from these videos, no one held anything back. People were shouting about Obama’s acknowledged cocaine use as a young man, abortion and one man used the word ‘terrorist.’ They also were complaining that Sundays are for church, not voting.”
As for the tire-slashing incident:
“Someone slashed the tires of at least 30 vehicles parked outside the Crown Coliseum on Sunday during a rally for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, authorities said…Sarah Revis, who lives on Wilkes Road, said the slashed tires left several women, including a single mother and a toddler, stranded and upset. At least four tow trucks were sent to move the vehicles from the Crown, Revis said. ‘This is an embarrassment to this city and to me as a citizen,’ Revis said. ‘I’ve seen women out here crying and men cussing. This is a crying shame.’ Lynne Steenstra said she thought that the slashings were scare tactics designed to keep her and others from supporting Obama.”
