Tea Party Group Hit With Death Threats
US News.com ^ | 8/25/2010 | Paul Bedard

One of Washington's principal supporters of the Tea Party movement, former GOP Majority Leader Dick Armey's FreedomWorks, has been receiving death threats and profanity-laced phone calls as it gets involved in the fall elections. The number and intensity have reached such heights that the organization is leaving its downtown location near the FBI and moving to a high-security building near the U.S. Capitol.

"FreedomWorks and Dick Armey receive dozens of threatening and harassing calls and E-mails each day. Many imply violence and use of weapons," spokesman Adam Brandon tells Whispers. "As we get closer to the election we expect the harassment to increase."

He says that FreedomWorks will hire additional security, meaning less money for its election-eve, get-out-the-vote, or GOTV, campaign. "Unfortunately, we may have to use resources for security guards that we would rather use for GOTV," he said.

Five bucks says the calls are traceable to ACORN's switchboard.

Ten bucks says, if true, the DOJ won't prosecute.

“profanity-laced phone calls” - sounds like someone we’ve read about who likes to accost people in public showers.

I don't want violence but if it comes to that I agree completely with your statement.
