Death Threat: The Widening Gyre‏
by Alan Grayson

Thu Jul 22, 2010 at 10:51:41 AM PDT

One day, a Republican operative offers $100 to anyone who'll punch me in the nose.

The next day, I get a death threat.

After Fox News spewed its usual clownish hatred about me yesterday, my office received a call. The caller told our receptionist - a young intern - that "10 people are going to kill the Congressman within 24 hours." We gave the information to the Capitol Police; they are investigating.

Fox. You'd think that they would have learned their lesson after Dr. George Tiller was killed. And they did learn a lesson: a lesson in killing.

And why? Because I told the truth: the truth that by stalling on unemployment insurance, right-wingers revealed themselves to be heartless, selfish wretches, who have been taking food out of the mouths of children.

Alan Grayson's

[Frustratedlady]

2. Why did these cowards need 10?

I rather doubt it was a real threat, but with the atmosphere today, who knows?

In my entire life, I have never seen so much hatred as is showing in our country today.

4. I won't lay down again... they killed JFK, RFK, King, Lennon, Wellstone ...

Truth tellers

Have unknown enemies from ones in power in the shadows
and should not be naive on the violence and lies
that 'they' will do to them.


I've seen it personally

6. This is disturbing and scary.. most of it is bogus but I fear some it is real..

These rightwing lunatics think they on the side of God and are therefore justified in virtually anything they do to stop the "evil" Democrats and "save" America. I hope the FBI is watching them very carefully.

13. From the Notebooks of Lazarus Long...

"Never frighten a little man. He'll kill you."

Apparently there are a LOT of frightened 'little men' out there...:shrug:
