You may have heard of Virgil Goode (R-Va). He’s taken on Keith Ellison, the Muslim congressman who used Jefferson’s own Koran for his private swearing in. Goode is responsible for writing this piece of asshattery to a constituent:
if American citizens don’t wake up and adopt the Virgil Goode position on immigration there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Koran. We need to stop illegal immigration totally and reduce legal immigration and end the diversity visas policy pushed hard by President Clinton and allowing many persons from the Middle East to come to this country.
And so on.
Well, it seems that Goode’s office has been vandalised, though it’s doubtful that the vandal did more damage to Goode’s office than Goode himself. To wit:
As much as I like a good bit of culture jamming, I really can’t condone this act of vandalism. In fact, I find it deplorable. There’s really no excuse for what this stenciler has done. I mean, look at it. Mixing serif and sans-serif within the same block of text? You must be mad!
Next time, make sure that you use Caslon and not Helvetica:
It’s just as easy to get these things right the first time.

Is “damn” still a swear word in USA? It’s forbidden in all of the Anne of Green Gables books.
