In an email sent to supporters Friday, the Vermont Republican Party used a vandalized Randy Brock lawn sign to solicit donations to the party. Peculiarly, party chairman Jack Lindley seemed to draw a connection in the email between the vandalism and Brock's political opponent, Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin.
"In so many ways what you see is symbolic of what is wrong in Vermont. And wrong about Governor Shumlin," he wrote. "The arrogance of power. His 'my way or the highway' mentality; his arrogant refusal to listen to the ideas of others; his refusal to debate Randy Brock."
In an interview with Seven Days, Lindley took his almost-accusation a tiny bit further.
