Louise Slaughter and Bart Stupak have received death threats.
A tea party participant published what he thought was Thomas Perriello’s home address and urged disgruntled voters to “drop by” for a “good face-to-face chat.”
Vandals broke windows at Slaughter’s office in New York and Gabrielle Giffords’s office in Arizona.
And angry voters are planning to protest this weekend at the home of Steve Driehaus — who’s already seen a photograph of his children used in a newspaper ad published by reform opponents.
The vitriolic health care debate has become personal — too personal, say House Democrats who voted for the bill and now find not just themselves but their families in the cross hairs of opponents.

A little fear is a positive thing. These people think they are rulers and can ignore the people.
Funny thing is is when it is their side instilling fear, it is ignored by the media.
excellent point
The whole Marxist bunch lives by the belief that their actions are without consequences; to them. Time they learned that’s not true.
Swhoosh!
On the other hand, the peaceful approach hasn't done a damn thing. Maybe it's time to step it up a notch or two.
When the people fear the government, it's tyranny. When the government fears the people, it's liberty. I vote for liberty.
It’s very important that the very individuals involved in screwing us be identified so that we can reach out personally. No more anonymity; no more hiding behind government’s impersonal system of harming people with impunity.
Indeed. Interesting times ahead and it's going to be very difficult for those of us that have never been in the military and have tried to avoid violence as much as possible.
I can see what's around the corner and it ain't pretty. I suspect they'll collapse the dollar. If/when they do, SHTF! I have prepared as much as possible but this ain't gonna be easy.
I pray and I know God can change anything. I’ve seen miracles happen. I truly feel that the violence isn’t the way to go. But, I also understand what you are saying. We still have the courts at this point and we still have November and 2012. I’m hopeful that we will see a big change.
Oh, I agree. I’m just not surprised by the small bits of violence so far.
But could people not threaten kids, at least?
Moneylenders in the temple...I'm trying to think of an equivalent.
I don’t know why, but, I am surprised. I suppose I shouldn’t be, it’s human nature to lash out. You just don’t have to give into the flesh. I had my little tantrum, cried, felt sick, and then I prayed, found my peace, and relaxed knowing that God is in control.
See post #89.
Except that most of the threats are coming from the left.
They’re still mad at their congresscritters who didn’t vote for the bill.
Tyson. LOTS of feathers.
I hear that...if we were using techniques like they did, there’s be constant rallies at the capital and at all congressional offices and homes, and we’d be having mass demonstrations whenever they tried to do something...this is small fry so far.
I agree that the time is not yet for a bloody coups but Jesus did drive the moneychangers out of the temple with a whip.
We would be except for the fact that most of us are still going to work every day.
