Coffin Placed on Missouri Democrat's Lawn

[cynatnite]

A coffin was placed on a Missouri Democrat’s lawn, another in a string of incidents against lawmakers after their vote Sunday on a health care overhaul.

Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-Mo.) had a coffin placed “near his home,” a spokesman said Wednesday evening.

This came after Rep. Tom Perriello’s (D-Va.) brother’s gas lines were cut, Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) received death threats and Rules Committee Chairwoman Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) received a message saying snipers were being deployed to kill children of those who voted for health care overhaul.

Several other Democrats have had threats leveled against them, prompting a closed-door briefing of Democratic members by the FBI, Capitol Police and the House Sergeant at Arms.

1. Thank goodness the FBI and others are taking these threats

seriously.

2. Damn. The teabaggers are going all out.

3. And Politico itself ran a headline this morning...

...about Democrats hoping that voters would forgive and forget. My first thought was that Politico was encouraging the hysteria, frankly.

Anyway, may everyone be safe.

5. Your first thought was right.

4. Ah heating up I see

by the way this is the play book followed by the right to life craaziees, since they know they work... and the tactics also used way back in the day in a little border state called Kansas...

Time for some folks to dust off them history books.

Terrorism - "the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear)."
