Man Beats Woman for Not Supporting Obama

Hope and change in action.

An attack on a Jacksonville woman began as an argument over President-elect Barack Obama, according to police.

The incident took place Friday morning when a fight over politics turned into a physical battle, Jacksonville television station WJXT reported.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, Lindsy Whitfield, 46, got worked up when his friend told him she didn't like Obama.

Police said Whitfield slammed a picture frame on the floor of the woman's apartment, and then picked up the shattered frame, threw it and hit her in the face.

The enraged man then began beating the victim with his fists before telling her he was going to kill her, according to a police report.
