So the Colorado Democratic Party office was vandalized…

…and police have arrested a liberal Democrat activist for doing it.

Nevertheless, if all you were reading was Think Progress, you’d never know the perp was a liberal. They’re still blaming “the other side” for the damage, quoting the state chair:

Party Chairwoman Pat Waak attributed the violence to the intensity surrounding the health care debate, saying, “Clearly there’s been an effort on the other side to stir up hate. I think this is the consequence of it.”

Via Memeorandum.

Here’s a picture:

Note the cracked but unshattered glass. “I didn’t know the glass would be so thick! And these rocks are so heavy!”

Yes, I know, he actually used a hammer. Probably never held one before.

Back to Think Progress: thus far, there has been no followup, no update, no correction, and certainly no apology to the angry mobs of right-wing extremists law-abiding conservatives whom Think Progress automatically, without proof, and incorrectly slandered as angry mobs of right-wing extremists. If there is one, I’ll let you know.

In the meantime, read some of the comments:

• Cowards. Pure and simple. Ignorant, violent, uneducated cowards. A true reflection of right-wing sheep.

• Let me guess. The pundits out there are going to say this one was done by the secret Democratic party elves too.

• and when the unthinkable happens, the right wing will deny any culpability and complain that they’re being persecuted

Comedy gold!
