As WorldNetDaily reported, in a speech July 25 to her home-state delegates to the Democratic National Convention, Heinz Kerry used the term "un-American" to describe the sometimes harsh rhetoric used.
Minutes later, when McNickle asked her what she meant by the term "un-American," Kerry turned angry.
"I didn't say that," she said. "You're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say that."
After conferring with Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and others, Kerry then returned to confront McNickle.
"Are you from the Tribune-Review?" she asked.

The journalist whom Teresa Heinz Kerry told to "shove it" after rejecting a question he asked her after a speech says he has received death threats in the aftermath of the incident.
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review editorial page editor and columnist Colin McNickle says the reports of the confrontation with the wife of Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry were used by liberals to "demonize not only me but the Trib," he wrote in a column yesterday.
Teresa Heinz Kerry
As WorldNetDaily reported, in a speech July 25 to her home-state delegates to the Democratic National Convention, Heinz Kerry used the term "un-American" to describe the sometimes harsh rhetoric used.
Minutes later, when McNickle asked her what she meant by the term "un-American," Kerry turned angry.
"I didn't say that," she said. "You're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say that."
After conferring with Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and others, Kerry then returned to confront McNickle.
"Are you from the Tribune-Review?" she asked.
"Yes," replies McNickle.
"I thought so," she said. "You said something I didn't say. Now shove it."
Ironically, the confrontation came immediately following an even-toned speech by Mrs. Kerry to the Pennsylvania delegation – the first to be visited by the wife of presumptive Democratic nominee – about returning civility to American politics. Kerry's comment was caught on videotape.
"We need to turn back some of the creeping, un-Pennsylvanian – and sometimes un-American – traits that are coming into some of our politics," she told her fellow Pennsylvanians at a reception at the Massachusetts Statehouse.
McNickle wrote that "'Right-wing rag' became the pejorative du jour, vomited repeatedly by liberal media elitists" to describe his paper.
The editor quoted some of the invective that had been sent to him via e-mail:
"'I hope you burn in hell,' read one e-mail. 'You're a (expletive) Nazi,' went another. 'Teresa should have told you to go (expletive) yourself,' another friendly e-mailer offered. And these were among the milder communiques; those that included death threats will be forwarded to the senders' respective hometown police departments.
"One of my daughters back in Pittsburgh was brought to tears by a caller to our house. The clever woman identified herself as a Washington reporter seeking to interview me but then embarked on a filthy tirade. It seems a member of the Heinz Kerry Civility Enforcement Patrol posted our home address and telephone number on the response part of my convention blog."
As for the "shove it" comment, McNickle wrote: "I have been told worse things by more important people."
He should count himself lucky that her last name wasn't "Clinton"!
Let them stew. They can hardly expect their snide anti-Americanism to sell when things get serious.
"Mamman-T" could have put a hit out on him without even knowing it while in one of her drug induced comas.
Uh, Huh...He'd already have a doll made in his likeness full of stick pins.
It appears that the widow Heinz has her attack dogs out. I truthfully can not imagine this...uh....er....person being the First Lady. Mama T does the rose garden! GAG!
Ironic, isn't it, that the death threats are coming from the same vile, bottom-feeding invertebrates who call conservatives "intolerant"?
Personally, I like death threats. Especially written death threats. It's how idiots grant other people a license to kill them. Very Darwinian of them.
Gotta be careful when dealing with Mama Tizzy -- she is, after all, mascot of the rat party.
And of course, this will be mentioned by the lamestream media.
Teresa is skerry also. Here's an email I received today regarding this person.
Subject: HEINZ- KERRY
Following is a brief background on Mrs. John Kerry . She hates being called that, by the way:
Maria Teresa Thiersten Simoes-Ferreira Heinz Kerry. Married Senator Kerry in 1995. She only took his name eighteen months ago and she is an "interesting" paradox of conflicts.
If you thought John Kerry was scary, he doesn't hold a candle to hiswife! Maria Teresa Thiersten Simoes-Ferreira Heinz Kerry was born inMozambique, the daughter of a Portuguese physician, was educated in Switzerland and South Africa. Fluent in five languages, she was working as a United Nations interpreter in Geneva in the mid-60's when she met a "handsome" young American, H. John Heinz, III, who worked at a bank in Geneva. He told her his family was "in the food business."
They were married in 1966 and returned to Pittsburgh where his family ran the giant H. J. Heinz food company. He was elected to the US House of Representatives in 1971, and in 1976 he was elected to the first of three terms in the United States Senate. A Republican, he wrote a burning diatribe against some of the causes backed by young House member John Kerry.)
Several years later, in 1991, he was killed when his plane collided with a Sun Oil Company helicopter over a Philadelphia suburb. The senator, his pilot and copilot, and both of Sun's helicopter pilots were killed. He
was survived by his wife, Teresa, and their three young sons.
Four years later, having inherited Heinz's $500 million fortune, she married Senator John Forbes Kerry, the liberal then-junior senator from Massachusetts. She became a registered Democrat and the process of her
radicalization was set in motion.
Heinz-Kerry is not shy about telling people that she required Kerry to sign a prenuptial agreement before they were married. John Kerry may not have check writing privileges on the Heinz catsup and pickle fortune, but he
is certainly a willing and uncomplaining beneficiary of it.
A lot of hard-earned money, made through many years of hawking catsup, mustard, and pickles has fallen into the hands of two people who despise successful entrepreneurship and who believe in the confiscatory
redistribution of wealth.
So how does Mrs. Heinz Kerry spend John Heinz's money? Just one example: According to the G2 Bulletin, an online intelligence newsletter of WorldNetDaily, in the years between 1995-2001 she gave more than $4 million to an organization called the Tides Foundation. And what does the Tides Foundation do with John Heinz's money? They support numerous antiwar groups, including Ramsey Clark's
International Action Center. Clark has offered to defend Saddam Hussein when he's tried. They support the Democratic Justice Fund, a joint venture of the
Tides Foundation and billionaire hate-monger George Soros.
The Democratic Justice Fund seeks to ease restrictions on Muslim immigration from "terrorist" states. They support the Council for American-Islamic Relations, whose leaders are known to have close ties to the terrorist group, Hamas.
They support the National Lawyers Guild, organized as a communist front during the Cold War era. One of their attorneys, Lynne Stewart, has been arrested for helping a client, Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, communicate with terror cells in Egypt. He is the convicted mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
They support the "Barrio Warriors," a radical Hispanic group whose primary goal is to return all of Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas to Mexico. These are but a few of the radical groups that benefit, through the
anonymity provided by the Tides Foundation, from the generosity of our would-be first lady, the wealthy widow of Republican senator John Heinz, and now the wife of the Democratic senator who aspires to be the 44th President
of the United States.
Aiding and supporting our enemies is not good for America,
regardless of your political views. If voters will open their eyes, educate themselves and see the real Teresa Heinz Kerry, they will not appreciate her position as ultra rich fairy godmother of the radical left. They will not want to imagine her laying her head on a pillow each night inches away from the President of the United States. Hopefully they love this country enough to decide that the only way these two will ever be allowed into the White House is with an engraved invitation in hand.
Instead of deleting this, pass it on. Let everyone know these people are unfit to represent this great nation. The uninformed will never hear the truth from the press, who wants Kerry elected! Those who buy the Kerry facade, beware what you vote for. You may regret that you got it!

Kerry and his followers are frightening.
Maybe johnboy will contact Aristide and have some vodoo scunion put on that mean reporter. The ketchupgal must have been tripping on her meds. It's a democrat thing and we will nver understand. Bush/Chney 2004
Threats are for weak people.
Yep, he would be learning all kinds of new ways that the IRS can audit you.
... how uncomfortable a cavity search could be.
... being let go "for the good of the company" because the company has been treatened with enough red tape to smother Denver.
... and on and on and on.
Yea, death threats from Heinz-Kerry stooges are pretty mild.
If that's the type of support Kerry attracts, he ain't gettin' my vote.
He'd already have a suicide note written in Hillary's handwriting.
What was she shoving, where that would have caused the reporter bodily harm?
Par for the course for democrats.
Guess we know how John Kerry's "intern problem" got buried so quickly last year. Can you imagine the threats she received to shut up?
