Arizona shooting: Seven times politics turned to threats or violence last year

6. The Tides Foundation
Employees of the Tides Foundation, a San Francisco-based liberal organization, were the intended targets of a July assassination attempt that has been linked to political ideals of Fox News commentator Glenn Beck.

Heavily armed, Byron Williams was captured after injuring two police officers in a shootout on a California freeway, and in interviews since, he has said Mr. Beck's explosive condemnations of the foundation helped spur him to act.

“I would have never started watching Fox News if it wasn't for the fact that Beck was on there. And it was the things that he did, it was the things he exposed that blew my mind,” Mr. Williams said from his jail cell.

2. This is a drop in the bucket
The president receives almost twice as many death threats as his idiot predecessor. I would bet that the threats against dem congress is more like 700 per year than 7.

3. But the fact that * received death threats at all shows that BSAETS
=Both Sides Are Exactly The Same. At least that's how the right spins things. They'd just drag out an example of one of the death threats against Bush and say "See?"
