A Vancouver woman with a Barack Obama sign by her house found her car keyed with some choice words.

The words “white power” and “I’m gay” were etched into the car of Karen Wastradowski last Saturday. Wastradowski had left her car in the driveway of her home when the vandals struck.

She filed a report with Vancouver police. Wastradowski said a blue “Elect Obama” sign in her yard could have caused the crime.

I know that whenever I see a John McCain sign I have the uncontrollable urge to tag “Puerto Rican Power” oh but wait, I don’t think I’ve seen a John McCain sign.

Apparently the area where the keying happened has a history of racist assholes.

Yes, Clark County has its share of unrepentant bigots. Earlier this year the son of a Battle Ground city council member was charged with cyberstalking over virulently racist emails sent to a black council member and other community members. So while vandalism is not exactly an unusual thing during the summer months, it’s also not acceptable to just shrug off racist defacement of private property as “just kids being kids.” They learned it somewhere.
