Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

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.

Why isn’t the FBI on top of this?
Ten bucks says, if true, the DOJ won't prosecute."
Unless the left has decided to eliminate the middleman and the calls are coming directly from the DOJ. sarc/
Be peaceful and tolerant or we’ll kill you!
Coming from the WH basement.
Of course.
We need to be vigilant because there will
be many more threats this time what with the insane leftist
losing what they had gained.
Has anyone received any dead fish?
As per presidential directive, they're busy observing Ramadan, unless and until a conservative-on-liberal crime occurs or can be convincingly manufactured.
“Traced to 1-800-OBAMA?”
Ellie Light was doing the dialing.
Can you PAULTARDS layoff of Dick Armey. What is the problem? Don’t like Dick jumping in front of your gravytrain???
That sounds about right. It will only work for a little while though, we don't have the geographical problems of Israel and we don't have to be as "polite" as a country has to be. We're just bitter clingers, after all. ;0)
That's where it's at. We don't want to start it. We probably won't. We might get tricked, though, and then it's self-defense time regardless.
huh? I’m talking about libs.
Lee Harvey Oswald and Osama bin Laden were pretty chatty.
Is that the guy who turned out to be an ABC reporter?
Sounds as rational as anything we would be told by the powers that be. Har...
April, it’s funny, but your words are exactly what I said last night as my wife and I were watching a movie called “A Single Man”. The main character states peoples’ problem with any minority is “fear of them”.
I don’t fear gays or other minorities at all. I don’t approve of the gay lifestyle as a viable way to live life. I think if you want to be gay, go for it, but don’t push it down my throat (sorry the pun) or I’ll push back. I don’t want my kids to take up the gay lifestyle, either, so I instruction on not accepting such a sexual direction is to be expected.
I think a lot of this comes from liberals looking at themselves and determining they fear us, and so they therefore think we must feel the same in reverse. I only fear people who are likely to threaten me directly, and for that, I will take up arms if necessary.
Otherwise, it’s not worth my time to be fearful of nothing.
