The Maryland Democrat said more than 10 House Democrats have reported incidents of threats or other forms of harassment about their support of the highly divisive health insurance overhaul vote. Hoyer emphasized that he didn’t have a specific number of threats and that was just an estimate.

TheFederal Bureau of Investigation, Capitol Police and sergeant at arms briefed Democrats behind closed doors today about the incidents of violence — the most high profile of which have been toward Democratic Reps. Thomas Perriello of Virginia, Steve Driehaus of Ohio and Louise Slaughter of New York.

“...and he wants Republicans to stand up and condemn the threats.”

Why not just tell the Socialist ringers to knock it off?

The United States of America is being threatened with socialism, communism, and tyranny from ****heads like you, Hoyer. Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.

History repeats itself. First the Democrats agitate everyone and then after they get everyone whipped into a frenzy, they start claiming that they are the victims. It sounds like something Hitler would do like "the fire at the Reichstag." Hitler burned the place and then used the arson to claim complete power over everyone. This is probably what they have planned for us.
