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.

SO ARE THEY GOING TO CALL IN ERIC HOLDER TO PROSECUTE THESE UPSET AMERICAN PATRIOTS FOR STANDING UP FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN, THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES? HE STILL HASN’T GONE AFTER THE STUPID BLACK PANTHERS WITH THEIR NIGHT STICKS DURING ELECTION TIME IN PA. KEEP RUNNING YOU TURNCOAT DEMOCRATS.
Gee Steny, it seems like you are asking for political human shields to give you cover to fire from? Sounds a lot like the Taliban tactics?
Running for Congress is a voluntary act. If some members of Congress feel the job has become too dangerous they are free to resign their positions and join the 20% of the unemployed and underemployed working age population seeking new opportunity.
They’re winding up for the immigration push. Why do you think they’re using black caucus members as props and bait so much. They want racism as a means of dividing people for the immigration drive.

Well, you know what, if they actually voted in a way that truly represented their constituents values, they would have no reason to fear anything when going back to their districts. Jackasses - just like their party - why the hell would any group use a jackass as their mascott?

You can’t be a tyrant without meeting resistance.
Democrats are in no way on the same page as the founding fathers. Founding fathers stood for honor, courage and respect. The Democrats do not represent these traits and would have to look up the meaning of each in the dictionary.

Perhaps the expressions of outrage are from those who prefer liberty.
