At Least a Dozen Specific, Credible Death Threats Against WI Republicans
Verum Serum ^ | 3/18/11 | John

Posted on 03/18/2011 9:16:52 AM PDT by Nachum

I don’t think I’d seen this detail published before. Scripps Howard has a story on the reaction to the passage of the collective bargaining bill in Wisconsin which makes clear just how enraged the protesters became:

“We will hunt you down. We will slit your throats. We will drink your blood. I will have your decapitated head on a pike in the Madison town square. This is your last warning.”

Is this a passage from Bram Stoker’s Dracula? No, this e-mail reached Wisconsin State Sen. Dan Kapanke, a La Crosse Republican, on March 9, after he voted for GOP Gov. Scott Walker’s controversial budget and labor reforms. Kapanke is not alone. Top Wisconsin Republicans have been threatened with murder.

“Across the whole Republican Caucus, I think we have received at least a dozen, credible, specific death threats,” one well-placed legislative staffer in Madison told me. “This was not just ‘Go to Hell,’ but threats that rose to a level that made people feel unsafe.”

I think this rises to the level of 'National Interest'... I give the White House and the Justice Dept. a .... month to respond. In writing.

This gives me a great idea - LIBULA! A gothic horror tale set in the union-strong north, in which a coven of taxpires move from state to state, sucking money from each group of taxpayers, leaving each a lifeless husk.

As a side note, I could make it a B movie and cast Bruce Campbell.

Obama would speak out on this, but he’s all tied up pushing his “anti-bully” agenda.

Obviously none of these thugs ever read “The Light and the Glory” by Peter Marshall and David Manuel, and neither have their parents! Parents have permitted the public schools to turn out mindless punks, and then the Commie unions take them over.

Apparently it isn’t credible to either the DOJ or WI authorities. Maybe the opponents of O and the union thugs “just need killing”.

Until the right gives these rat bastards on the left the same medicine, nothing will change. They can’t intimidate anyone when they want to go down the road to socialism. Go to hell all of you whack nuts on the left!

They will probably never respond unless the GOP majority in the House forces them too, and I don't see Boehner being aggressive about this. Also, we have to read about this in the alternative media. Has anyone in the MSM reported on the number of these threats?

This is beyond pitiful and is very dangerous. The media and the lefties are chuckling over death threats? The “authorities” don't seem to care (union pressure on police?), the media certainly does NOT care and is treating these threats as if they are well deserved and are privately perhaps pleased.

Listen to some of the national “Katie Couric types” of the media. They openly refer to Walker as “mean, uncaring” but seem to omit any mention of union thuggery, threats against businesses, violence and damage done to businesses. This is the “Chicago Way” isn't it?

Did anyone hear AFL-CIO Trumpka the last couple of days, saying if you think Wisconsin is bad, you ain't seen nothing yet? Well, well. I'll bet Eric Holder of not going to prosecute “my people” fame...... will be right on it.

Folks, these are scare tactics at the utmost and true Americans need to step up to the plate and quit being silent here. Call / write newspapers and ask them where are the investigations and stories on these threats? Let's make a noise, politely, not stooping to the levels of these thugs threatening good people.

Shameful actions by union thugs and those that oppose a “republic” form of government. Hey Eric Holder, the laws DO apply to Dems and the left. Not just the white right wing.

Who wants to bet the MSM doesn’t care. Janet doesn’t care. Holder doesn’t care...

They only 'chuckle' when threats are made against conservatives...

We on the right MUST ignore the left’s attempts to spark violence.

To me, the LEFT (unions, acorn, etc.) are cowards, who only work in the dark, or in large groups to try and intimidate us.

I say, don’t react in kind. Look them in the eye, and laugh at their anger. They want us to lose control, and physically fight back, with anger as our anger. We should always remember that their goal is to cause domestic/civil disobedience, so that martial law will be instituted, and we will lose our liberty.

Don’t REACT to them. ACT with NO FEAR.

And now a communists liberal judge just issued an injunction against Walker and his bill. This judge is a insane liberal and Walker should declare him a real nut job and start impeachment.

Retaliatory force is MANDATORY. Pacifism is only going to get more people hurt.

All that being said, prudence dictates having at hand what my dad called “the difference”, preferably in a caliber that counts. But I would agree that these vermin slime are utter cowards, hiding behind children and serial e-mail addresses.
