The pitched battle over health care has unleashed a rash of vandalism and attacks directed at politicians, with at least 10 House Democrats reporting death threats or incidents of harassment or vandalism at their district offices over the past week.
More than 100 House Democrats met behind closed doors Wednesday afternoon with representatives of the FBI and the U.S. Capitol Police. The lawmakers voiced what one senior aide who was present described as "serious concern" about their security in Washington and in their home districts when they return this weekend for the spring recess.
Usually only the congressional leadership has regular personal protection from the Capitol Police. But at least 10 lawmakers have been offered increased protection by law enforcement agencies, said House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.).
Asked whether members are endangered, Hoyer said: "Yes. [There are] very serious incidents that have occurred."
Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Terrance Gainer e-mailed senators and staffers Wednesday telling them to "remain vigilant." Gainer, a former Capitol Police chief, said in an interview that the warning was meant to "assuage people's fears."
But House Democrats say they are unnerved.

OH so now they here the people ! What a bunch of A$$holes they deserve everything that happens to them and I applaud it if it does !
ReplyDeleteFunny how people get pissed off when their civil liberties are taken away and given to non-citizens.
ReplyDeleteI'm sick of being tolerant this war will be won in the streets !
ReplyDeleteSo, you are cool with the GOP base coming off as a bunch of psychopaths? You are advocating the murder of American citizens? You think the best way to show opposition to a political decision AND be a good steward of our Country to to just start shooting everyone you disagree with?
ReplyDeleteThis is craziness. Complete, unwarranted craziness.
Any blood spilled will be on your hands. I hope you wear it proudly.
In general, those who commit violence in order to assert political power are considered terrorists. Don't like the way things are going? Then work your hardest to vote them out!
ReplyDeleteso who said it was republicans or tea partiers or conservatives or neo cons or left wing wackos or whom ever macking these so called threats. did it ever occur to anyone that this is just more of the same from the government. try and find out the facts before you assume who did what. did it ever occur to anyone that congress can say that we the people are inciting riots and declare marshall law. can you say kent state???
ReplyDeleteYou and your cohorts have shredded the Constitution and for that you will pay . The blood on my hands I'll wear as a badge of honor !
ReplyDeleteThe Progressive movement has been successful in dividing and conquering our nation . They knew they could have never have done this if we were united as a people or a country . So first they create a victim and a perpetrator and group by group they turned us against each other and while we were busy arguing amongst ourselves they snaked in and stole our country !
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I have yet to hear ANY threats at all. "I wish you would die" is not a threat. If it were, "I am going to kill you" then that IS a threat. Calling a congressman a lowlife piece of dung is not a threat, either. It's merely a description of what the person perceives when encountering a Congressman.
ReplyDeleteGet over yourselves! GO TEA Party!!!
There was one report of a brick being thrown through a window. That would not have happened though had the tomato crop been in or if people could still afford to buy shoes to throw.
ReplyDeleteThe people crying in this blog are the same ones that laughed at Sarah Palin having a tomato thrown at her by that liberal wacko.
ReplyDeleteThis is America's last hooray. Forget about what's happening in the middle east, forget about the stock market. The coming war will be in the streets and alley and hallways of America. Everyone will be a participant.
ReplyDeleteFirst if it is true ( I personaly don't believe it ) then whomever is doing it is a criminal and should be treated as such. Second there is no proof that it is members of any party and should not be speculted about there are nuts in ALL partys .Third the left has a far more violent history than everybody else ie : every WTO meeting ,and should not be pointing fingers at anybody .
ReplyDeleteEverything the left accuses others of doing they have done !
ReplyDeleteThe national debt. The tril $ stimulis. The Omnibus bill. Cap-n- trade. The 2 trillion in your face health care overhaul. Our only Ali in the middle east "Isreal" treating them like enimies yesterday. No Jobs. Unstable 14 trillion $ Dept.Serious warning from Moody to reduce AAA rating.(if that happens we are done) A pending chineese trade war.( the same trade war caused the great depression.) Come on America stand your Ground! Please wake up!I will tell you the dollar is next. I promise you that.There is more to come and soon! How can anybody denie this? open your eyes!
ReplyDeleteWhere were the democrats when Bush was being threatened ? Oh yeah perpetrating it !
ReplyDeleteLet's see some proof and find some evidence on the "threats." Right now the way I see it, there are alleged threats and like any other hoax or crime, they need to be investigated. Punish the criminal or reveal the hoax. My guess,if there were an actual threat, we would have already convicted the criminal in the liberal media court of public opinion because only conservatives and Demoncrats that go against the administration get thrown under the bus. The video of Tea Party Protesters shouting the "n" word at the black Caucus has yet to appear, but every one of them had their cell phones out recording as they baited the crowd. It hasn't appeared because it didn't happen. Last year's April 15th Tea Party's had the MD Nat'l Guard on alert because we were considered terrorists, yet not one arrest, not one instance of property damage. Try that at a so-called Peace rally or ELF/Peta rally.
