Just received a full-on death threat for my CNN appearance discussing the racial undertones of the tea party protests. Not cool.

9. Hopefully the FBI is on it.

2. Oh, no!

I am getting seriously worried. Be safe, David. Do not let your voice be silenced by these thugs and ***holes.

I am beginning to think we are all at risk. I want my country back!

Blessings and safety to all!

[malaise]

20. Do not get worried - that is what they want

Fuck the fucking cowards. Report them.

[firedupdem]

3. Yup....thats how cowards roll.....

but then again, it's not about race. :eyes:

[movonne]

4. Here we go...I really think these repugs are a sick lot...

[AspenRose]

6. This is ridiculous...and getting out of control.

7. It's hard to tell if they're offended or proud of being RACISTS.

10. But but but. . . . Robert Gibbs TOLD us the president doesn't

think the protesters are racists. . . . . .

13. No, Robert Gibbs told the *MSM* that. Do you really think

that the President and his team don't know what's behind the unprecedented number of death threats against him?

We may know approximately how many he's received; the President knows the content.

But back to the subject, it's as if people have forgotten that this administration is not only working against the hate element and political foes, they are also combating the MSM.

It's messed up, but Gibbs, unlike an Ari Fleischer or other Bushie flack, can't say whatever he wants. The MSM will treat any remotely hot-button statement like red meat. They'll distort it and invite 3 or 4 Republicans to give their opinions about what the White House meant by it. And the White House is then chasing after the misinformation generated by the Repub-loving MSM.

I understand why Gibbs said that.

[Tansy_Gold]

15. Duh. Why do you think I put the sarcasm thingy there? n/t

[CakeGrrl]

21. D'oh! My bad. Apologies.

I've just read too many comments that sincerely didn't get that. I think I'm punchy and need to give the fingers a rest for the evening!

[rurallib]

11. It is like I am reliving the 50s

what an ugly decade.

[KoKo]

16. yes...it's creepy, isn't it... And all that work to expose Joe McCarthy and now our MSM doesn't

give a damn. And with so many who would remember Holocaust it's especially distressing... If this continues...what's next?

[Luminous Animal]

22. I don't know where you live

but it's like living in the 50s, 60,s 70s, 80s, 90, and the oughties.

[Mari333]

12. speak the TRUTH and they go ballistic

I guess he hit a nerve and made them look in the mirror.

[KoKo]

14. My Congressman Liberal Brad Miller received one, too. It's becoming commonplace for

RW McCarthyites to go after anyone they don't agree with. Never thought I'd see this shit again in my lifetime...but here it is, again. :-(

[spanone]

17. i thought about maureen dowd in the same context....there some scary out there

[Cha]

19. Guess he was right.

The deranged take their racism seriously.

23. What happened to the age of Aquarius?

It seems as if the ghost of Ronnie Raygun is giving it the big squirt!

[1monster]

27. We are sort of transitioning into the Age of Aquarius, but at this time we are still in the Age of

Pisces.

every 2,156 years, a new age begins. From 498 AD to the year 2,654, the spring equinox occurs in the Pisces constellation. Consequently, we are technically in the Age of Pisces. It should be pointed out, however, that an age's influence is strongly felt around 500 to 800 years before the exact juxtaposition of the signs and constellations. Therefore, the coming of Christ into this world inaugurated the Age of Pisces.

In this document, we briefly describe the Age of Pisces, along with the Age of Aquarius that is already influencing us as it is about to dawn upon us soon. (snip)

Since the Age of Pisces is not yet over, we still feel its effects: in fact, religious wars are still raging on in the world, although this phenomenon will progressively disappear as we are influenced by the Age of Aquarius.(snip)
