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.

Yes, we read the books too, but it seems that those now in power on the right believed what they were told by the left in the past that those were a “fringe”, or that they were being “paranoid”-they believed it long enough to allow the left to dominate the MSM and academia, and now the left has a lock on those means of disseminating information (and indoctrination).

I don’t fear them, I just don’t have an answer as to how we can break through their present domination of the media and education. They’ve been working on this decades, and we didn’t take it seriously, as they derided us for “red-baiting”.

Here is the Democratic Party tire slasher:


Sowande Ajumoke Omokunde, son of congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-Milwaukee), was one of five paid Kerry campaign workers in Milwaukee who allegedly slashed the tires of 20 vans that had been rented by Wisconsin Republicans as part of their Election Day 2004 get-out-the-vote effort. (Credit: Milwaukee County Police.)

His daddy must be Nigerian from the Yoruba tribe. That's a Yoruba name if ever I saw one.

I sure agree with you on Congressman Ryan. This guy appears to be the real deal who might be our way out of this nightmare.

Survival of the fittest. As long as we back down from their lies, America loses. As long as we stand up fight back and turn the tables on these commies, we have a chance.

They are trying to use their lies to back us down right now. They have the media backing them up so we have to fight even harder.

They should be lucky all they got were words instead of tarring and feathering.

I never knew that lawsuits were considered violent threats.

Now the Obamacare health bill, that is a violent threat.

stirring up their failing base

It is! And what the dems counted on was their projection onto Conservatives from their knowing their base NEVER bothers to go vote unless its a Prez Lection, and projecting it over to the Tea Party thinking “this will all be no big deal come Nov.” Now they are realizing bad assumption so lets claim the Tea Party folks are being mean ol racists. This ploy ain’t gonna work either.

Have been to a few Tea Parties and almost to a person they have been nice upstanding citizens who respect others.

What’s going to interesting and probably comical is how the dems start acting when the real PANIC sinks in.

Take it seriously. Obama and his ilk are capable of the unthinkable.

All I know is that I wouldn't want to be a democrat seen as expendable by the white house.

Awwwwww..you poor babies.
Here, this is something these Democrats can chew on:


Gainsville, Fla., David P. McCally was charged with battery after he allegedly barged into a local GOP office, assaulted a cardboard cutout of President Bush, and punched a local Republican chairman in September 2004.

Where were these “10 Democratic congressmen” when Democratic Party hired thugs were viciously assaulting Republican Party local chairmen?
Oh wait, they were busy cheering the thugs on, and probably paying them off too.

Thank you.

I didn't hear the tape, but I cannot believe that there exist large numbers of conservatives who would engage in illegal death threats, and like you, I know of no conservative who would speak in the manner you describe.

I hope all these phone calls are totally traced and that ALL the perpetrators are identified and exposed.

I suspect that there are very few conservatives involved, IF any.
