Liberal fascists at it again. We should start a thread here on who of us receive a letter.

[EagleUSA]

Socialist = Stalinist -— they just keep moving to the left don’t they.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

This is a warning to all Dems and Hillary supporters who won’t vote for Obama to not give any money to any 527’s, etc, that are critical of Obama.

But... Dems say that they are for free speech.

Dems say “While I may not agree with what you say, I will defend to the death your right to say it,” right?

Don’t see Dems doing much defending here.

Dems say one thing and do another...

[LowTaxesEqualProsperity]

These leftists are real loons.

If all they do is publicize the names of people that donate to Conservative groups, I have no problem whatsoever with their mission. However, if they physically threaten anyone, then they need to go to prison.

[astyanax]

National Review has requested that anyone receiving a letter contact them.
And I assume you’ve seen this:

Could some legally astute FReeper please prepare, and post for general use, a standard reply letter, threatening complaints to the relative authorities for the intimidating letter’s prima facia violation of the Ku Klux Klan Act and any other relevant statutes (maybe including RICO if you can find a basis)?

The NY Times neglects to mention a critical fact about this proposed attack on people revealed by FEC records to be major donors to conservative causes. Gathering the names in this fashion from FEC records and using them this way, constitutes two felonies. Or, maybe the Times was simply incompetent, and didn't think to ask questions in that area.

Does anyone have an email address for these Nimrods? Having a framed, threatening letter from them is going to be de rigeur for any self respecting member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy this election cycle. I want to write them and ask them to put me on their list.

[TexasRepublic]

Just imagine if those Stalinists ever take power — they’ll do much more than subtle threats, they’ll kill you. Think I’m lying? Name one Communist country that hasn’t committed political murders on a large scale.

It's beyond my ken, but subversive attempts to get at members records of so-called megachurches, who would probably be backers of Pres. Bush seems to be underway, a case in point: the Mrs. Joel Osteen lawsuit.

HUGH story IMHO?

[VOA]

Nearly 10,000 of the biggest donors to Republican candidates
and causes across the country will probably receive a foreboding “warning”
letter in the mail next week....

Opening line of the threat (my guess):

"Nice little life you have here...pity if anything should happen to it."

[Coffee200am]

Any letter with a threat of any kind no matter how small will be met with a another letter sent by my lawyer.He loves this kind of stuff(and my sister!).

[Smokin' Joe]

The threat of this sort of retaliation for expressing political views has a name:

terrorism.

It isn't all briefcase bombs and jihadis who go 'boom' in the night.

[Desron13]

Typical Liberal Marxist thug like behavior.

[eaglestar]

Ah the NY Times. Who else would write such a story. One has to wonder how many members this group really has. Anytime the liberals write a story one must question whether the group is just some grocery bagger and his buddies that stock the shelves.
