AUGUSTA — Police were called to the Maine Republican Party headquarters to investigate a threatening message that was discovered Wednesday morning.
The voice-mail message directly threatened Charlie Webster of Farmington, the party's chairman, said GOP Executive Director Christie-Lee McNally.
According to McNally, the message said: "A 9 mm might not be able to silence Charlie, but a .50-caliber will. And there's a lot of angry people out there, so Charlie Webster should be very careful."

R’s should publicize every death threat they get going forward. Then the D’s will have to spend their time manufacturing death threats in order to keep up.
The Rats blaming the Republicans is getting their base all wee-wee’d up.
Chris Matthews need to be arrested!!!!!!
Look, look! Someone drew a bulls eye!!! OMG!!!!!!
We need legislation!!!!!11111!!!!!
If they can manufacture a link between the threat and a Tea Partier, they will.
this is the goal of the left, now with conservatives getting threats their hope is we will STFU for fear of our lives.
Republican leaders get endless death threats from democrat party thugs.
Republican signs on front lawns, bumper stickers, etc. are commonly vandalized or torn down by democrat party paid operatives.
“I don’t expect this to be reported on MSNBC anytime soon... “
Sure it will... they will blame Palin (the new Bush meme) and the Tea Party!

This is a hate crime.
The liberals up here are especially upset. This is the first time in 50+ years that Republicans have controlled both houses of the Maine legislature and the governor’s office. On his first day, Governor LePage rescinded the sanctuary state order. That started them off screaming and they haven’t stopped yet.
BWAHAHAHAHA!
These asshats are so transparent. In attempting to sound dangerous, the caller unknowingly threatens to use a caliber that would almost be as self-incriminating as scratching his address on the bullet.
This "threat" is one cut above "my dad's gonna kick your ass!"
Hah! Like a liberal would own, much less be able to use, a Barrett.
Funny thing is that LePage was hardly Charlie’s preference. Charlie’s a RINO and he would have loved to have had Suzie Collins’ chief of staff Steve Abbott win the nomination and governorship. But Abbott was trounced by LePage. Yes, LePage is off to a pretty good start and the libs in Maine are really ticked.
