Justice Department investigating death threats against Republican senators, representatives

"This is how it's going to happen: I as well as many others know where you and your family live, it's a matter of public records. We have all planned to assault [sic] you by arriving at your house and putting a nice little bullet in your head. However, this isn't enough. We also have decided that this may not be enough to send the message. So we have built several bombs that we have placed in various locations around the areas in which we know that you frequent..."

And, of course, there was the reasonable response to the Wisconsin Senate...



I think Michael Moore even declared war.

Gosh! This all reminds me of how the Tea Party and Republicans stormed the Capitol and threatened to kill Democrats when they used rules -- instead of a vote -- to advance Obamacare out of Congress.

Wait! That didn't happen.

You all must be so proud.

[Yonivore]

I noticed how President Obama jumped out there and called for an end to the inflammatory rhetoric. Very presidential...

Wait! That didn't happen either.

In fact, if anything, our President is the cause of this madness. His organization is the one fomenting the hate and organizing the protesters.

didn't bachman refer to the administation as a' gangsta administration'? did you miss that?

Yep. Sure enough, President If-they-bring-a-knife-we-bring-a-gun-if-they-punch-us-we-will-punch-back-twice-as-hard, has his Organizing for America gang -- well -- organizing.

Considering his involvement in Wisconsin and his lack of action in the face of the threats and violence, that's kind of bearing out, don't you think?

There were death threats.

Not surprised you missed them. I doubt your blogs covered them, being as edly partisan as you are.

No.

You're an idiot.

lol chump calling someone a partisan hack

I didn't see any black people in that Union Crowd. Unions are obviously racist extremists who pile in state capitals through windows.

[DMX7]

How many of them were nearly assassinated?

lol who are you?

[Marcus Bryant]

When crap like this pops up why can't we just chalk it up to being from a nut and be done with it? I guess the immediate partisan 'score' is worth it.

[Stringer_Bell]

I hope Eric Holder (aka America's Stedman Graham) will get on top of this and go after whoever pulled this Waco style.

croutons sends an email and Yonivore posts it like it's news.

...

You all must be so proud.

You are one of the most hypocritical, partisan s I have ever had the misfortune to meet. "consider this" my ass.

"i want to make nice" then you turn around at every opportunity and on people who don't agree with you in threads like this and so many others.

You are the epitome of the intellectual and moral rot that underlies the vaneer of modern conservatism.

Vaneer?

Veneer, maybe?

Here's some Repug civility, unmatched by anything from the Dem legislators:

NH GOP Senator Says The Mentally Ill Are ‘Defective People’ That Should Be Shipped Off To Siberia

Barrington Republican Martin Harty told Sharon Omand, a Strafford resident who manages a community mental health program, that “the world is too populated” and there are “too many defective people,” according to an e-mail account of the conversation by Omand. [...]

Harty confirmed to the Monitor that he made the comments to Omand. [...]

Omand says Harty then stated, “I wish we had a Siberia so we could ship them all off to freeze to death and die and clean up the population.” Omand said Harty appeared to be serious. After Omand responded that his idea sounded like what Adolf Hitler did in World War II, Omand said Harty responded, “Hitler did something right, and I agree with (it).”

And this eugenics-loving, "empathetic" mofo is not even from TX

I wish we had a Siberia so we could ship them all off to freeze to death and die and clean up the population.

That would be New Hampshire.

No fat redneck rally pictures? C'mon now!

So this so-called union busting and stripping of collective bargaining rights turned out to be just raising their pension contributions from 1% to 5.8% (just below national average) and increasing their health care contributions from 6% to 12% (less than half the national average)?


I can certainly understand the hysteria.



EDIT> Well, except for cops and firemen. <-- disclaimer for Dumpster's benefit

[DarrinS]

And why are they so white?

That was already agreed to without taking away the collective bargaining rights on those issues.

Why did those rights have to be taken away if the governor had already gotten the monetary concessions he wanted?

[clambake]

And why are they so white?

why are 12 white people so white?

Indeed? I stand corrected.

Yonivore is not the epitome of the intellectual and moral rot that underlies the vaneer of modern conservatism.

Rather he is the epitome of the intellectual and moral rot that underlies the veneer of modern conservatism.

Thank you.

why are 12 white people so white?

That group is roughly the same size as Cairo University's class of 2010.
