At least 10 House Democrats who voted Sunday for health care overhaul have received violent threats to their lives or property, party leaders said today.

Connecticut Democrat on health reform: "More action and correction" coming soon.Several members have faced death threats and harassing phone calls while others have experienced vandalism at district offices or their private homes.

In one case, a gas line was cut outside the Virginia home of Rep. Tom Perriello's brother after a conservative activist posted the address online, mistakenly thinking it was the congressman's house. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating.

Just this past weekend there was a “white pride” rally near me that made no sense due to the fact that these things just don’t take place around here.

It turned out that 10 idiots screaming racist comments managed to incite over 150 counter protesters. Now dozens of churches are going to hold some kind of “unity rallies”.

all of this over 10 idiots that I suspect might be more comfortable in purple tee shirts than white sheets.

I emailed Hussein that I pray for God’s judgement upon him on Judgement Day before God’s Throne. Now, considering that many on the left think that Christianity is a fable and there is no God, I’ve wondered if that will be considered a “threat”. Also, I’ve wondered if they will confuse me with Hussein in believing that I think that either I am God or that I can influence His actions other than through prayer.

Alinsky tactics: Create chaos.

Absolutely. They are doing this to demonize the right and to divert attention from their hideous law. We cannot let these allegations become the primary focus of attention and discussion. This is what they want.

The phone call tape that they played on the news (supposedly on Steny Hoyer’s answering machine) had so many expletives that you could barely tell what was being said. I don’t know ANY pro-lifer (this caller caled him a “effing baby-killer” among other things) who uses that kind of language in ANY context. Sounds more like SEIU/ACORN trying to whip up the kook fringe.

Do they know how foolish they look? When you see the tea partiers on CSPAN half of them were middle aged and old women wrapped in the flag. Older war veterans and families with their kids. Compare that to the black panthers outsdie the Philly voting place with bats.

And I asked them if they remember the Milwaukee election day 2004 tire slashings of vans rented by Repubicans in the get out the vote drive. In this latter case, the Democrat son of a Democrat Milwaukee elected official was convicted.

That would be Sowande Ajumoke Omokunde ("Supreme Solar Allah"), son of Gwen Moore (D), U.S. House of Representatives

All part of the radical agenda to demonize and reduce the resistance

It's not working.

They learned it well from their root radicals of the late 60’s and 70s.”

We read the books too.
We gonna keep attacking this dictatorial Marxist regime until 0bozo and his criminal gang are booted out of office. These laughable attempts at distraction will make ZERO difference.

Speaking of purple shirts, the MSM has yet to report on any of the SEIU thugs who actually committed physical violence upon Tea Party demonstrators. Just noting this, not expecting any “fairness” from them. We’ll have to make our own “fairness”. We could spend days listing real actions or overt threats made by the left upon conservatives that have never been given MSM attention, and they never will be. We have got to find a way to break through their wall of hypocrisy to mainstream America.

“They are doing this to demonize the right and to divert attention from their hideous law.”

Exactly. They obviously don’t care what conservatives think. They care about winning elections. They want to demonize the opposition to turn off the uninformed “independent” voter. That’s who decides elections.

That event was overt, blatant, clearly caught on video, and undoubtedly illegal, but Holder threw it out more than once.

You’re right—this is a massive propaganda campaign and the media are their eager accomplices.

We need to just push back and keep pushing back. We were not promised a rose garden, we must not let them cower us.

These lies are just that. The left deserves all the scorn they get. They had no problem stripping Americans of freedom on Sunday. They know it and they know we are going to fight back. We need to be tougher than them from now on.

Don’t fear them, stick it in their faces.

There's nothing whatsoever to condone. It's just a case of Democrats telling more lies.

The lies are part of a campaign coordinated with Leftwingtard terrorists in Canada who set out to murder Ann Coulter yesterday.

They hope to intimidate us with FBi and ATF investigations, etc., and to get WIRE TAPS on private telephones without any evidence of crime.

The Bolsheviks have made their move.

I know a lot of folks don’t agree with we Libertarian folks on a lot of things, but I’ll be most people will agree with Mr. Manion’s blog post (I love the second paragraph): http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/54227.html
