THE NEW CLIMATE OF FEAR IN AMERICA HAS SPREAD TO KNOXVILLE:

An unknown suspect fired several shots into the Bearden office of the Bush/Cheney re-election campaign Tuesday morning.

The headquarters are located at 4618 Kingston Pike, next to Nouveau Classics and in the same shopping plaza as Long’s Drugstore.

According to Knoxville Police Department (KPD) officers on the scene Tuesday, it is believed that the two separate shots were fired from a car sometime between 6:30 am and 7:15 am.

One shot shattered the glass in the front door and the other cracked the glass in another of the front doors.

I blame Michael Moore.

UPDATE: More fear here.
