After Democratic lawmakers were targeted by death threats and vandalism, House Democrats met with members of the Capitol Police today to discuss security concerns.

Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Majority Whip James Clyburn held a press conference this afternoon on Capitol Hill, saying members had raised concerns and that Capitol Police told them to address any suspicious activity around the Capitol.

"Any member who feels themselves at risk is getting attention from the proper authorities," Hoyer said. At least 10 Democratic lawmakers have complained of threats or other security concerns.

If capitol police have half as much disregard/dislike of Zero as they did Clinton, there is little to worry about. I knew officers who were in and around the WH during that reign and believe me, no one was about to lose his life to protect a Clinton.

I don’t believe in threats and vandalism. I leave that for the puking babies of the Left. But when the Democrats in Congress act like Marie Antoinette, they might expect that people will get peeved.

If they reenact the fairness doctrine I see whole groups of people moving into social networking. Maybe some Conservative will start something like facebook and all the patriots will be meeting to bring down this tyrannical government just the like the men and women of 13 colonies. It won't be as cool as meeting at the green dragon or or the bull and cock but we will meet just the same.

The Democrats will be creating their own SS to keep themselves safe.

Why not they already have the IRS as their einsatzgrupen to keep them flush

Prediction: before the November elections, there will an engineered incident of “domestic terrorism” linked to the Tea Party movement. The MSM will go along with the Federales’ narrative that the Tea Party has become a violently radical, racist right-wing movement and any anti-socialist political opposition will be completely marginalized.

If they do that, then the shooting will start. What other avenue will be left? Take away any chance of hope for the future and the only thing left is to take your enemy down with you.

Bill Clinton successfully turned the OKC bombing into a re-election gimmick

Bill Clinton staged the OKC bombing.

There had been plots on the building by persons McVeigh had reportedly associated with going back over a decade.

There were also possible foreign ties to the attack. Certainly there were more than 2 persons involved (and some were granted plea deals in exchange for testimony).

McVeigh and Nichols were guilty but there was a lack of will to prosecute all involved, especially following up on leads suggesting foreign involvement.

"The so-called “Tea Party” is useless crap at this point, anyway. Hijacked by the GOP, this ship is going down, guaranteed."

You are wrong, at least with the Tea Party/912 groups I am familiar with. They are autonomous, shun RINOs and Dims alike and are making a powerful difference.

When thinking about all this concern for safety, I have a question.

How long can those people maintain a 300 yard radius perimeter?

Fox News Radio break on-the-hour mentioned that politicians are worried, and Pelosi and others feel threatened by signs over the weekend showing their faces "inside a gunsite".

Awww. Poor babies.

Poor babies.

Where was the liberal and media outcry over this when it was conservatives who were hanged in effigy, shown on protest signs as dead/decapitated, etc.?

Other side of this SanFranNan constituent's sign:

Another "piece of art" from a Californian:

And that's just a few of the many, that I could find with a quick search.

And here's an oldie but goody article from Patterico, listing many, many instances of hate "free speech" from prominent leftists.

It's not hate speech when it's from the left.

Barney Fag can call conservative protesters "teabaggers" and that's A-OK. But let one person call him a teabagger and it's all-of-a-sudden anti-gay bigotry.

Poor babies.

Poor babies.

These Nazi analogies are tiresome. I have relatives who were exterminated by einsatzgrupen. Don’t trivialize mass murder.

“Prediction: before the November elections, there will an engineered incident of ‘domestic terrorism’ linked to the Tea Party movement.”

It is already written in stone, brother.

Let them reveal themselves.

Let it start.

Let it come.

We must take back our country.<<<<

The way things are going they may leave no alternative!!
I think that’s what they’re trying to do! I don’t think they know how intense the kickback will be if they try!

Check this out:

The first reports were that it was a gas grill outside the guy’s home..now if you google ‘cut gas line’ and hit news on Google search...the media is purposely leaving out that bit, making it sound like a gas line to the guy’s home was cut or a huge propane tank. IT WAS A PROPANE BARBQ GRILL OUTSIDE HIS HOME and the FBI has said they are investigating. For all we know the stupid grill line broke naturally and the propagandists are making it sound like Tea party ‘terrorism’....lol.
I HATE THE MEDIA IN THIS COUNTRY!!

[stevio]

That’s what they will TRY next.

You REALLY should start a thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make it SOON!!! The late FOX shows should hear of this also if at all possible, and Levin!!!

That’s not what I said.
