House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is warning that some of his Democratic colleagues are being threatened with violence when they go back to their districts — and he wants Republicans to stand up and condemn the threats.
The Maryland Democrat said more than 10 House Democrats have reported incidents of threats or other forms of harassment about their support of the highly divisive health insurance overhaul vote. Hoyer emphasized that he didn’t have a specific number of threats and that was just an estimate.
TheFederal Bureau of Investigation, Capitol Police and sergeant at arms briefed Democrats behind closed doors today about the incidents of violence — the most high profile of which have been toward Democratic Reps. Thomas Perriello of Virginia, Steve Driehaus of Ohio and Louise Slaughter of New York.

Okay, Steny.
Just as soon as you show us which Democrat condemned this:
ABC News just included a hit on Palin implying she was instigating this. They said her Facebook page had a call to “reload” with crosshair targets pointed at the district seats currently occupied by 18 Democratic Congressmen.
“The democrats are deliberately stoking the anger.”
So is the media! It’s pretty blatant.

Warning: Ferdinand E Marcos declared martial law in the Philippines after HE successfully staged a grenade attack in Manila in the 60's. A state of emergency! That put his republicans on ice for 25 years. Many more to an early grave. Mr Obama is more evil than Marcos.
What happened to the SEIU attack on the black man in st. louis??
It'll be so much better once they get all get back to their home districts for Easter Break.
“They should go get a gun while they still have a chance.”
Seriously...they should do what we’re doing...get ready. It’s a trans-formative POtuS in the White House, remember?
I would laugh my ass off if they were successful and the crowds drug Chrissy Matthews into the streets for a bit of tar and feathers and a ride about town on a rail!
I would pay good money to see it too!
They get as many threats as the Republicans; except Bush who their supporters threatened with death almost everyday of his Presidency.
Good on her.
They don’t know what a “Big freaking Deal it will Be”
They sold people into servitude to the state.
They are oligarchs, not victims. In other countries, there would be hundreds of thousands of people in the streets, leaders in effigy, bricks and stones and old produce thrown, so they are getting off light.
They are trying to cast themselves as the vistims and the Goebbels media is playing the violin for them.
God is the one that the “baby killer party” members should be frightened of.
If Bummer can find a way to toss them under a bus once they have outlived their usefulness to him... they will. Rats should be warned. There is no honor among Marxists.
Little Stevie Driehaus from Ohio is at risk in November, and was deemed expendable by Pelosi and Obama; he has done nothing but whine the last 10 days. First, a right wing ad (before the vote) depicted a photo of him and his children (a photo that he had previously used in his campaign)- he whined that the kids were out of bounds. OK, maybe. Today he is whining in fear because a right wing blog posted his home address. and he also whined because Boehner rightly called him a loser to Steve Chabot this fall. That’s ok, I’m sure Little Stevie was offered a cushie job in Washington next year in turn for throwing all of his values behind him, throwing his job away, and voting in direct opposition to what the citizens in the 1st congressional district of Ohio wanted.
Driehaus was mentioned in the Drudge Report article as one of those being threatened.
No violence, other than a brick through the window of the local Dem office, which I do not condone.
All of this pales, of course, in comparison to the physical abuse heaped upon conservatives over the last 10 years. Where was the media then?
Driehaus ONLY won the 1st Ohio Congressional District due to strong backlash against Bush, and the fact that he ran as a pro-life fiscal conservative. Little Stevie has shown that he is neither, having voted with Pelosi 94% of the time. Driehaus comes from the very heavily Catholic, mostly German (and conservative) west side of Cincinnati. Driehaus has nothing to fear (physically) from the citizens of Cincinnati. But we will probably never let him forget about this vote.
He might have problems, however, when around the guys he went to high school with at Elder, in the Price Hill section of the west side. Elder guys (It’s an all male Catholic HS) admire tough, stand-up men, who say what they are for and then follow through. Men of conviction. They do not tolerate wussy’s. Stevie is currently in hiding.
If it was such a great bill, why does America hate it? Why do the people who voted for it feel so stressed and threatened?
And why doesn’t the wonderful health plan cover them, as well? Why are they excluded?? Never mind, I know why...

They brought it upon themselves. They thought that they were invincible and that they could slam this in the face of the voters and that they would suffer no recourse.
They deserve anything that they get. They dont have to worry, they wont be there after November anyway.

I wonder if Nan will get the coveted Ice Pick in the Ear Award for Meritorious Service?
