The FBI and police were investigating after a swastika was painted outside Rep. David Scott's
district office in Georgia, an act the suburban Atlanta Democrat said
reflects an increasingly hateful and racist debate over health care and
should remind people to tone down their rhetoric.
Scott's staff arrived at his Smyrna, Ga., office
Tuesday morning to find the Nazi graffiti emblazoned on a sign bearing
the lawmaker's name. The vandalism occurred roughly a week after Scott
was involved in a confrontational argument over health care at a
community meeting.
