On Monday, Milwaukee AM 620 WTMJ radio host Charlie Sykes detailed an encounter between Democratic State Rep. Gordon Hintz, who had previously been busted in a prostitution sting, and Republican State Rep. Michelle Litjens, in which the rules of civility were completely ignored after a vote to “engross” a state budget repair bill.
“After the vote to engross, he turns to a female conservative Republican, who is also from the Oshkosh area, looks at her and says, ‘You are f—ing dead,’” Sykes said. “He didn’t say ‘f—ing,’ he said the whole thing. He says to a female colleague, ‘You are f—ing dead.’”
There isn't audio of the incident, but Allahpundit points out Democratic assemblyman Hintz admitted he cursed out his GOP colleagues, though "he would not confirm his exact comments."
“I believe my response was shock. The only way they were going to pass this bill was by ignoring and shredding rules of the Assembly,” Hintz said. “I apologized (Monday) when I learned my comments may have been taken personally by someone.”

I can't imagine for the life of me why someone would take the comment spoken to them "you are f---ing dead" personally.
Conservatives are sooooo sentitive.
The world and the other States are all watching Wisconsin. I hope they do the RIGHT thing, and not cave in to special interests. Special Interests have ruined a good country.
Thugocracy

Goodness gracious....for a lady from Oshkosh to hear something like this? She probably wanted to wash his mouth out with soap the minute she heard it.

Longer it goes on the more chance a few Republican senators will cave. The in-yo-face mobs wear people down.
Justice should be swift and so should votes like this one where everyone knew the score. But the Dems ran like like dirty little rats
I can’t wait to hear John “Mr. Civility” King’s comments on this.
BTW, has King asked his wife to change her name yet? “Dana BASH” sounds mighty violent to me and not a good reflection on CNN’s image of ultra sensitivity.
Bump
If this woman has a husband, father or brother, one of them should make a personal visit to Rep. Hintz and explain that this is simply not the way a gentleman speaks to a lady. And the kick his candy a$$ around the block and back!
I’m telling you guys, we have got to start standing up to these people. We have remained silent much too long and they have become embolden.
Another mafia hit man government imperialist bent over for his comrades in the union..They gotta go!!!
Yep, if these guys stay strong they have a true historic chance of being the first in a national move to do the same..Stand Strong folks, America needs you!!! Its time to boot the unions influence to the curb along with the uhbummer agenda of total ruin...
This stupid Donkey has a big mouth overloading his walnut-sized brain and has to realize words have meanings. Either that or have him arrested for threatening a public official and make him defend his turf in court.
HORRORS!
I think US Congressman Wiener’s wife should also change her first name, “Huma” Wiener.
“kick his candy a$$ around the block and back”
That is a gripe I have about Todd Palin. I thought he should have done exactly that to Letterman and others but nobody around here much agrrees with me.
That would work-—Huma and Hummjob.
Real Tough Guy. His Bio shows that he has done nothing but Politics and school, when did he get so tough? These Dems are unhinged, it reminds me of Emanuel and the Steak Knife incident.
His family must be so proud.
