Oh. My. Freaking. God.
Rochester/Niagara Falls, N.Y. -- The same day a brick crashed through her Niagara Falls office, Rep. Louise Slaughter (D) says her staff discovered an assassination threat aimed at her family members. The Democratic headquarters in Rochester was also targeted.
No one was inside when the brick was hurled through the Democratic Patry Headquarters on University Avenue. Attached was a note quoting conservative Barry Goldwater: “Exremism [sic] in defense of liberty is no vice”.
Read the rest of it... we're not just looking at crazy. Coupled with the attack on Rep Giffords' office, this is increasingly, terrifyingly, reminiscent of Kristallnacht.

Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis
this is out of control. seriously, what is threatening or god forbid killing any politician going to accomplish? she already placed her vote and she can't change it now.
it is completely irresponsible for beck, hannity, fox, and fat rush and anyone from either side to continue to stoke the flames of "hatriotism".. i believe we are getting into the territory where freedom of speech is dangerous...like when it suggests and encourages violent reprisals..
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Huh? Who has suggested or encouraged violent reprisals? Please list instances, and even quotes if you have them.
And the comparison to Kristallnacht in the first post is just embarrassing and only serves to highlight your lack of knowledge on the subject.
The situation is inevitable in a system that cares nothing for the common citizen.
its inevitable.
While I know nothing about the situation in this case and as I said, I am not a teabagger. I do think, actions need to be taken. I have long suggested that, senators and congress should expect every office they own to burn to the ground as a result of their non action on ending the war. this is just the other side of that, the other political side.
obama is a failure.
Republicans can't defeat Obama alone. If they could, he'd never have been elected in the first place. The Independents are the ones with the real voting power. And I think these people are mis-calculating if they think vandalism and threats are going to win them supporters or further their cause. Maybe locally, within their like-minded community, they'll be empowered. But overall, on a national level, the victims will get the sympathy. I'd bet anything that the majority of the country will be disgusted by this type of behavior.
EDIT: Check it out, Gallup poll...only 19% of adults are actually "angry" about healthcare. They may be vocal, but they're a minority. http://www.gallup.com/poll/126929/Slim- ... ssage.aspx
while i agree with the premise that the intolerant, racist, backwards teabaggers dont represent america. i do think its a mistake to suggest as alot of people do, that the hatred of obama is only from racists and rednecks. obama quite possibly could be more hated than W was. Bush had the hatred of the left. but did racists and rednecks ever turn on him? Obama has the hatred of the crazies on the right, but also has to deal with the hatred from people like me, a leftist, a radical left winger. Obama is hated on both sides. That isnt going to change. Obama messed up big time. Its natural that if you continue to create policy that harms people, you can expect blowback. thats not an idealogical statement. its fact. every action has another action in response.
the longer no one does anything about it, the angrier and angrier people get.
these "conservative" pundits got van jones fired, acorn shut down, and dr tiller executed because they played on the anger of their listeners. what is to say they can not get a congressman or president killed as well?
by the way, i was wrong about the census worker, but i have been right about a lot more than i have been wrong...
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Unfortunately, "stupid" plus "anger" is usually a bad combo. And somebody ends up getting hurt.
Wash me in the blood of Rock & Roll
I'm wondering were you get your information from because I would like to check it out....
I haven't heard that one before. That's a good one. :thumbup:
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Not to mention walk on water and turn water into wine. Don't the dems control the house and senate, at least until November. This guy has added another 2tril to our national debt. That took W 8yrs to accomplish and it was 1trl. Where is the transparency that was promised. His admin said we needed to pass the stimulus pckg and unempl. wouldn't go above 8%, it is now 10%+.
Your always trying to blame beck, hannity, fox, and rush for everything......Just like when the Census worker was thought to have been murdered you tried to blame them for that....come to find out the guy commited suicide....you need to chill with the hatred and the false accusations....[/quote]
when those people stoke anger the next response is action, and action is usually violence. when a commentator pushes their listeners to a boiling point, if violence occurs they should be held responsible.

Action does NOT lead to Violence! Damn! anyone that is conservative needs to be responsible but no one on the left has to....you don't think Acorn was wrong?

Or the ELF burning houses, or that nut fm Acorn threatening people in the last election in Philly. The left calls it cival disobedience I believe.

Haha...the funny thing is many consider the people/groups targeted on that site to not be hateful and even brutally violent at times. If it's violence you're on a witch hunt for, then look no further than some of those groups listed.
listen to this it is work about 3 mins long

I can take care of myself ....not looking for a hand out.....
you guys still think health care is Free? :roll:
It is free in every other developed country in the world. And you are not that important. There are other people in America besides you, some of whom weren't born with the same advantages.

Non sequitur.
So you'd prefer to be gouged by the private insurance industry?

So now someone voting for universal health care can be equated with Ann Coulter practicing hate speech and racism? O.k.
And there were no threats against her life. She was just heckled out of there.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/03 ... ch-ottawa/
'...students crowded the entrance to Marion Hall, posing a security threat.'
Not quite the same thing as someone having direct threats made against their life, is it?
It's not free dummy. Why do you think everything is so expensive in these other countries that you mention ? So I guess all the doctors nurses,and their staff work for free also ? Oh and what about all the hospitals ? I guess they just pay for themselves too. Free food .Free electricity,Free water ect. ect. It's all free right ? :roll:
So just because she doesn't want a hand out she's not that important ? Wow! Sounds like something from the communist manifesto.
haha, nothing is free
I can't speak for aerial but I think that I am important just ask my wife and daughter. I agree there are other people in this country but I wasn't born with advantages. Please enlighten me as to what you think some of us were born into?
