When They Don't Get Their Way, They Try Threats

Remember how folks like to claim "there isn't a dime's worth of difference between Democrats and Republicans."? Remember that?

Well apparently Goofballs and Yahoos of this country think their is, because the blog Politico came out with a story citing threats on members of congress because of their positions. The Nuts are threatening people in both parties but the Democrats are WAY ahead of the Republicans. Just take a look at what was happening back in March.

- Rep. Louise Slaughter of New York had a brick thrown through the window of her Niagara Falls district office after she proposed a parlamentary manuever called the 'Slaughter Solution' to break the deadlock on Health care reform. The proposal was never used.

- The brother of Rep. Tom Perriello (D-VA) had a propane line in his house cut after a Tea Party blogger published his address and urged Tea Party activists to "drop by."

- Someone threw a brick through a floor-to-ceiling window at the Sedgewick County Democratic party headquarters in Wichita, KS.

- Rep. Steve Dreihaus of Ohio got death threats after voting for the health care bill. (Dreihaus also braced House Minority Leader John Boehner who had claimed that if Dreihaus had voted for the bill he would be a "dead man."

But some of the more recent intimidation included:

- A phone death threat to Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC) after he voted for health care reform.

- Assassination threats to Sens. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).

- Threats to beat up Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Rep. Ciro Rodriguez (D-Texas).

- A threat to cut the throat of Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.).

- A threat to "fuck her up" was directed at Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) if she held a town hall meeting in her district.

Let's see, that's five democrats and two republicans in that latest batch and four democrats and NO republicans in the March list.

Didn't help you clowns much, did it? LMAO!

With thanks to Politco and TPM Muckraker
