WASHINGTON (AP)-- Someone spray-painted a swastika on a sign outside the office of a Georgia congressman who had a contentious community meeting on health care last week.

A spokeswoman for Democratic Rep. David Scott of Atlanta said staffers discovered the graffiti Tuesday morning at Scott's Smyrna, Ga., district office. The Nazi emblem covered a sign bearing the congressman's name.

Scott's spokeswoman, Jennifer Wright, said local police were notified along with the FBI and U.S. Capitol Police, who have warned lawmakers about potential threats stemming from the increasingly emotional debate over health care reform.

Scott engaged in a shouting match at a community meeting last week with opponents of Democratic health care proposals.
