Lincoln Memorial vandalized

Man...that's Not Cool. Just speculating, but as supporters of the anti-American terrorist group that called itself the "Confederate States of America" have gotten more and more bold the past few years, I'd have to wonder if some stars-and-bars-flying moron is responsible. (Though it could be just a garden-variety moron with no political overtones.)

Lincoln Memorial is shut down after vandals splash paint on it (Washington Post)

The Lincoln Memorial was shut down Friday morning after vandals splashed light green paint on the statue of the nation’s 16th president and the marble floor around it, U.S. Park Police said.

No words or symbols were painted or written on the memorial, police said.

A crew successfully removed the paint from the memorial floor....They are still testing “conservation-based cleansers” on the defaced statue, and plan to proceed with the appropriate cleaning product when they determine which is best, the park service said.

Authorities said they were not aware of past incidents of vandalism at the Lincoln Memorial. In general, they said, damage to the statues and monuments that dot the nation’s capital is relatively rare.
