As a black conservative myself, I can understand Mr. Miller’s frustrations in dealing with hatred from the intolerant left. But that’s just part of the territory. My life was threatened several times when I held a local office. I’ve been threatened in recent years while participating in political forums. It’s not fun, but I’m not about to back down because of it. If I did they hate-filled liberals would win. Similarly, Mr. Miller just handed them a victory.

You, Sir, are to be admired! Thank you for standing up to the Left and for not letting threats get best of you!

Mr. Miller said he quit because of the Tea Party, not the left.

Good for you. "Cowards die a thousand times before their deaths . . . "

I've been threatened too. It comes with the territory. You just tell 'em "Bring it" (and don't let them see the .45 pistol in the back of your waistband).

99 percent of the bullies are cowards who would never actually do anything. For the occasional loony, you hope you can beat him to the draw.

I applaud your steadfastness but this guy claimed it was the Tea Party on his arse and hinted at racism...he sounds like a David Brooks sort of "conservative"

Next we'll find out he's really a homosexual and he'll become a HuffPo contributor...McCain sure had a lot of these types around him didn't he?
