WASHINGTON — Democrats, including Rep. Betty McCollum, launched into an assault on incivility Tuesday, saying incendiary words from members of Congress were inflaming tensions that could provoke another incident of Oklahoma City-style domestic terrorism.
"When Members of Congress compare health-care legislation to ‘government tyranny,’ ‘socialism,’ or ‘totalitarianism’ — in the hopes of scoring political points — it's like pouring gas on the fire of extremism," McCollum said.
McCollum's St. Paul office was one of a few that received an envelope containing gasoline-soaked tatters of an American flag and a letter that called her things not fit for print in this or any publication. Several police departments, including St. Paul and the Capitol Police, are investigating.
"The members of this House — Democrats and Republicans — have a duty and an obligation to end the dangerous name-calling that can only inspire the extremist militias and phony patriots," McCollum said. "In the most free, prosperous and greatest democracy on earth it is time to return to a civil, decent debate of public policy."

Bachmann is the left’s latest target. We cannot let them oust her from congress.
The Democrats’ time has come and is long gone. They’re trying to convince all of us that the socialist mistakes that all failed in the last century are really going to work this time. Because they’re Democrats and are wonderful people and believe in all kinds of good thing.
Isn’t this the cheapest political tactic of all? Accusing people who disagree with you of being violent extremists? This is not a police state. The Democrats can’t choose who “the public” is. We disagree with them, vehemently, and they’re stuck with it.
This cancerous communist scumbag Betty McCollum can drop dead.
What a foul p.o.s. she is.
“In the most free, prosperous and greatest democracy on earth it is time to return to a civil, decent debate of public policy.”
“Sleep, sleep, little sheep.”
LOL! and hypocriphal hilarity ensues ...
Okay, I predict a bombing and it will be by the LEFTIST COMMMIE RETARDS, guess who the MSN will blame?
Screw them. The left attacked and threatened Bush for 8 years. We’re only protesting; believe me, they haven’t even begun to see our nasty side.
I wish someone would ask this socialist loser what the Founders and Framers would think of what the government has done to the people.
How about in the hopes of telling the truth?
“We cannot let them oust her from congress.”
Why stop there?
Michael Savage likes her as a presidential candidate. I most certainly like her more than Palin.
At least the bee-atch admits there’s a fire.
They’re gearing up for speech controls.
“Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice!”
Gasoline soaked shreds of an American flag? Only a leftist would do that, McCollom.
These are the same liberals and socialists who invented riots and civil unrest. The tea party event I was at last night was very civil. The funniest part was when this Ohio State Representative said “The Republicans are starting to get it.” A woman in the crowd down on the floor (paid for seats) shouted, “They better!”
Derek Wallbanger is the author’s real name?
Ya can tell they're bleedin poofters, cause they obviously haven't been around women enough to see the real B side when it comes out!!!
Exactly.
