While you're gleefully celebrating the prospect of anarchism and violence, I'd simply suggest you be more than careful what you wish for.

Bomb Threat At Bunning's Hazard Office
While you're gleefully celebrating the prospect of anarchism and violence, I'd simply suggest you be more than careful what you wish for.
Who said I was being gleeful? I think the threats of violence from either side is reprehensible.
Did you follow the threads to see to what I was referring?
I guess not.
This is what Tea Party hicks do. They get their guns and start making threats.
Yeah, that's it.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0310/34953.htmlA Republican aide also pointed out that over the years Republican members of Congress received their fair share of death threats during volatile times. Newt Gingrich after the 1994 Republican revolution and the late Henry Hyde during the Clinton impeachment in 1998 both received numerous death threats. And just last month, Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) received death threats after his filibuster of unemployment benefits, according to a report in Roll Call.
That's not true.
There are plenty of statistics out there that show those who legally possess firearms are not the problem. It's those who possess them illegally that commit most the crimes with them.
Who did the Tea Party "hicks" threaten?
as well they should. I don't pity them one bit. most of them asked for it.
Oddly enough the anarchists have always been on the democrats side. Go figure.

Bullet Shot Through Window of Eric Cantor’s Office; Cantor Blames Democratic Lawmakers for Fanning Violence
Posted By Tana Ganeva On March 25, 2010 @ 9:51 am In Uncategorized | 11 Comments
House minority whip Eric Cantor has confirmed that someone shot a bullet through his office window last night. Cantor also said he’s received threatening messages but refused to disclose them publicly. “I will not release them because I believe such actions will only encourage more to be sent,” said Cantor in a press conference.
Then, he went on to improbably claim that Democratic lawmakers are at fault, by denouncing the threats of violence against them.
“It is reckless to use these incidents as a media vehicle for political gain,” said Cantor, then accused Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine and Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland of ” … dangerously fanning the flames by suggesting that these incidents be used as a political weapon.”
Democratic lawmakers have reported a series of threatening incidents since the passage of the health care bill, including multiple acts of vandalism and death threats (often imaginatively accompanied by nooses and in one instance, a coffin). In one chilling incident, Rep. Tom Periello’ brother found the gas lines at his house cut, after a Tea Party group erroneously posted his address instead of Periello’s.
John Boehner issued a tepid condemnation today, then tried to exploit the incidents for GOP electoral gain by telling people to transfer their murderous rage into civic participation: “I know there’s anger, but let’s take that anger and go out and register people to vote, go volunteer on a political campaign, and let’s do it the right way.”
Periello condemned Boehner’s response , pointing out that people who threaten the lives of lawmakers should probably be in jail.
Watch Cantor’s comments:

Although captured by, excusing, pandering to, and exploiting the scrotumsuckers, the Repugs and pitbull remain spotlessly innocent of inciting violence, polarization, divisiveness, lying, spittle-flecked anger.
secede already!
As good a guess as any. My search terms were tubing and Texas.
