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.

They are so full of it. The media will report this propaganda for them and make it a major story.

This is such a tragedy. These wonderful public servants serving the cause of socialism and class warfare are threatened? The Washington key stone cops will save them. It must be those unruly Tea baggers!!!

[Real threats are dealt with quietly and without fanfare.]

Right. If the threats aren’t publicized they may continue and authorities can put traps on the phone lines and take other measures.

Odd that the House phones don’t have caller id. I predict we’ll never know who made those calls.

The MSM will go along with the Federales’ narrative that the Tea Party has become a violently radical, racist right-wing movement

I am just laughing because Bill Ayers is coming to town to speak at the Pitt campus next week

This is all being carefully planned out.

They react to nothing or an event they themselves staged, in order to get everyone to condemn the act as that of a kook fringe in order to isolate and deter those who are really planning to do something.

the same Bill Ayers, by the way, who was once at the center of a Weathermen plot to kill specific US Senators in order to change the vote calculus on the Vietnam War.

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