   A Molotov cocktail-like device was thrown through the window of   
   Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s district office in Kansas City, Missouri,   
   early Thursday morning, lawmakers and police said.   
      
   Kansas City police were dispatched to Cleaver’s office shortly   
   before 3 a.m. Thursday to find two broken bottles with paper   
   towels sticking out of their necks underneath a broken window,   
   police spokeswoman Sgt. Kari Thompson said in an e-mail.   
   Officers also observed an odor smelling like lighter fluid, she   
   said.   
      
   The Democrat’s chief of staff, John Jones, said it was the   
   second such incident in the past six years, and no staffers were   
   in the building at the time.   
      
   “Today, our thoughts should not dwell on a small incident that   
   hurt no one and caused very minor property damage,” Cleaver said   
   in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families   
   and friends of those killed on Sept. 11, 2001, and all those who   
   suffered in its aftermath.”   
      
   Cleaver is currently in Washington, and all of his offices are   
   open for regular business, Jones said.   
      
   “The Congressional Black Caucus strongly condemns this type of   
   vandalism targeted at Congressman Cleaver, and denounces any act   
   of violence towards members of Congress,” Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-   
   Ohio), the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, said in   
   a statement. “This type of abhorrent behavior is the most   
   ineffective means of voicing discontent or disagreement.”   
      
   Cleaver is a former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus.   
      
   And as racist as they come.
