(AP) – 2 hours ago

WASHINGTON — The Democratic chairwoman of an influential House committee says someone left her a voice mail threat that used the word "snipers."

The lawmaker, Rep. Louise Slaughter, also says she had a brick thrown through her district office in Niagara Falls, N.Y.

Slaughter said Wednesday the snipers message was left on an answering machine at her campaign office. She said the U.S. Capitol Police, the FBI and local police departments were investigating.

As leader of the House Rules Committee, Slaughter had a major role in bringing the nation's new health care law to the House floor for a vote.

1. OK - it's time for Homeland to Security to make a statement and start

going medieval on these ignorant twisted folks. It's time to round them up in a very public way and throw them in the brink to rot. What will it take before this thing is put down?

2. gee maybe the head of the party could say a few words here :-) nt

3. Did Quitta from Wasilla have cross hairs over he district I wonder

[Raschel]

8. Tom Perriello is in her crosshairs. His brother was the one who had his gas line cut.

4. The GOP are thugs. These people must be put in jail.

Stop letting them get away with this stuff. If they were people of color they would have been put in jail yesterday. IT is what it is.

5. LOL! and the Patriot Act is still in force

bad boy bad boy, whatcha gon' do when dey come for you?

[kestrel91316]

7. USA PATRIOT Act has never been used against RWers and never will be,

because the FBI, who investigates these things, is on THEIR side.

People need to bear that in mind. We need to protect ourselves because LE ain't gonna do it.

12. Unfortunately I agree - n/t

33. It would be a surprise if they did anything meaningful about this.

The Feds may get involved though.

6. If congress doesn't want to close Gitmo, republicans in congress are clamoring

to leave it open and the republican party want it open. Lets really fill it up. And start with these terrorists. If they can lock Jose Patilla up for years (and he an American citizen) who they found had done any thing, how about the guys who cut the gas line. Threw bricks thru windows, taunted Stupak with death threats, said they would kill reps children and now threaten Slaughter with a sniper shot. I know our law enforcement agencies are smart enough to catch them. Put them away for life. If they don't go after them it is only going to get worst. And I think there should be a stop put to people like Bachmann, Palin, Beck, rush and Fox news who are instigating them. They should be held culpable also. THEY ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW.

24. As was mentioned today, people were put in jail for placing coffins against the

fence during the War protest, yet people who spat on a member of congress and yelled out homophobic and racist slurs don't even get a hand slap. :grr:

[brentspeak]

32. Incredibly, the lunatic RWers are claiming that it's unions/ACORN/elves making the threats

That's right: even though their goal of HCR already passed, liberal groups, for some reason, feel it's absolutely necessary to threaten their own representatives in order to discredit the right wingers because...uh, because...uh...:crazy:

[troubledamerican]

34. I remember in 1989, all liberals I knew telling me Limbaugh was "harmless"
