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.

| There are nut cases on both sides. Quote: |
At least two Congressional district offices were vandalized and Representative Louise M. Slaughter, a senior Democrat from New York, received a phone message threatening sniper attacks against lawmakers and their families.
| Quote: |
The Associated Press reported that the authorities in Virginia were investigating a cut propane line to an outdoor grill at the home of a brother of Representative Tom Perriello of Virginia, after the address was mistakenly listed on a Tea Party Web site as the residence of the congressman. Representative Bart Stupak, Democrat of Michigan and a central figure in the measure’s abortion provisions, reported receiving threatening phone calls.

Representative James E. Clyburn of South Carolina, the highest-ranking black lawmaker in the House, said he received an anonymous fax showing the image of a noose.

| Its pretty simple. The cause of the workers is considered "just". They are viewed as the oppressed and are simply resorting to death threats as a last but legitimate tactic.
An old guy at a town hall meeting about HC raising his voice though is dangerous for America.

| Hey, look! It's another thread fueled by divisive illustrations of how one political party is somehow better than the other!
This is getting old like midnight reruns of Roseanne. | |

This is getting old like midnight reruns of Roseanne. | My participation is not based on one is better than another at all.
It is simply pointing out the whole issue of "civilty" is a political ploy rather than a serious concern about discourse.
I've thought from the beginning that calls for "civilty" are bogus.

| The main difference of course is that some random unknown nutjob or goofball sends a threat whereas an actual candidate for the U.S. Senate refers to "Second Amendment remedies." | |

So the US is directly violating these basic human rights?

He actually won his election, care to remember his party affiliation?
