1. Uh huh. And I'm sure it'll be just as authentic as all the other "threats"
against repukes. Which is to say, NOT.

2. Well yeah, it has been all over the net this morning.
but is it real or is it just an attempt by Scottie to rile of the masses to support him. That's hard to say but my inclination would be the latter.

5. Actually it's not hard to believe at all
Which is no slander against the fine people protesting. But in the heat of argument stupid things get said and donme by both sides. The solution is not to pretend they do not happen, or imagine that "they" are the only ones capable of such, but to understand that we all are.

8. Just like that "stalker"
who was arrested by the FBI near Sarah "You Betcha" Palin's parents house right? Also I would like to point out, when someone trys to kill a public figure, generally they don't send threats first.

11. Smells
like the usual Republican dirty tricks. They have not managed to provoke any real live protester into on-camera violence to now they are trying this crap.

12. They had their own cohorts write the death threats.
It's what they do. Then blame Liberals for it.
