Acusing us of death threats
Edited on Mon Aug-29-05 01:38 PM by MissMillie
*******************************************************
This is reporter "Kat" from Vacaville, California (cindy sheehan's hometown). Kat said she's the only one in Vacaville willing to write anything negative about Sheehan and she's received hundreds of death threats emails from various DUers. She's been traveling w/the MAF's caravan.

Anyone want to speculate on why they think any of us would bother to waste an ounce of our energy on "Kat"?

1. She should call the FBI

and provide them with proof. Besides..with all the conservative sites that brag about trolling on DU, how do we know it is an actual DU'er? It could be their trolls doing it.

2. They need the propaganda
They want to show off our "bad" side, whether we have one or not. Maybe they are all feeling guilty about the neocon death threating of the Dixie Chicks.

4. Threats are a serious matter for law enforcement.
If she truly feels threatened, she should act on it.

7. Right on both counts.
As a former mod, I know for a fact that death threats are not something DU takes lightly.

8. I've never heard of her before now
hundreds of death threats from DUers? Riiight. Well I agree with the others on this thread. If she's being threatened, she should report it to the authorities.

9. If a rightwinger says / types it... you can bet it's most likely a lie.
Bank on it.

Either that or they're just so fucking dumb they really don't know any better.

10. If she's received hundreds of death threats



that ought to make it real easy to prove and give the evidence to the authorities.

Put your money where your fuggen mouth is.

13. I started reading that FR thread and quit after reading



about a quarter of it. Between the stupidity and illiteracy of the freepers and the crudeness of the FR website design I could go no further.

14. So, Kat says
she is getting death threats and then puts her picture on the internet for every one to see? Another freeper genius.

16. Since the Ayatollah Robertson issued his fatwa
the fundies have been trying to accuse every liberal, individually, of having hoped to assassinate someone. Nothings sticking, let 'em keep trying.

17. Kat, it's no trouble for the FBI to trace the origin of the emails
even if they were sent through proxies. Please report and threats of physical harm to the proper authorities. They can find the threateners even if you have deleted the emails
