The backlash: Reform turns personal
politico ^ | 3/24/10 | JAKE SHERMAN & MARIN COGAN

Posted on 03/24/2010 10:08:52 AM PDT by Nachum

Louise Slaughter and Bart Stupak have received death threats.

A tea party participant published what he thought was Thomas Perriello’s home address and urged disgruntled voters to “drop by” for a “good face-to-face chat.”

Vandals broke windows at Slaughter’s office in New York and Gabrielle Giffords’s office in Arizona.

And angry voters are planning to protest this weekend at the home of Steve Driehaus — who’s already seen a photograph of his children used in a newspaper ad published by reform opponents.

The vitriolic health care debate has become personal — too personal, say House Democrats who voted for the bill and now find not just themselves but their families in the cross hairs of opponents.

Dear Congress: Aggressive actions against people have consequences. Consider HCR to be the equivalent of Bunker Hill. You’ll be sorry you won the battle.

OTOH, we don’t want any innocents to be hurt.

A rope for these tyrants would be very personal.

I am happy that this happening to these elitist pigs. The sooner we can rid of them, the better. We have tried to be peaceful but enough is enough. Luckily, we have the guns...what do libs have?

I don’t like the death threats. That’s going to far. We don’t need to do that. Take it up in the courts and on election day and on our knees in prayer.

It’s just getting started...

This is shaping up to be a long hot summer.

Remember Ben Nelson getting chased out of a restaurant after the Christmas eve vote?

And those people had access to silverware.

I feel the same way.

When communist thugs steal and take bribes, they get all that comes with it.

This can only get worse as they choke off what little freedom we have left.

Haven't seen this much anger since the 60's

'Cept in the 60s the media were cheering the protestors on.

This time they'll be urging the Nat'l Guard to shoot.

Minnick’s got an office in Coeur d’Alene. We can always stop by and say howdy should it become prudent and necessary.

Exactly! They don't seem to understand that THEY have made this personal and that THEY are trying to overthrow our government and our constitution.

What did they expect. When you kick millions of Americans in the face something is bound to happen. That’s life. People get a little up tight supporting criminal corrupt jackasses. Don’t support it but I realize if you slap some people in the face you get slapped back.

Things were pretty rough around the time of the last revolution against Britain. I suspect that is coming back as the tyranny of government rises.

I hope these traitors live in non-stop fear for the rest of their lives that either a fist or a bullet is waiting just around the corner for them. The bastards sold our country, our very birthrite, down the river to socialist enslavement. Burn in hell, all of you!
