Probably the most symbolically freighted incident thus far has happened to Rep. John Clyburn, D-S.C. An African-American and member of the Democratic leadership, Clyburn reported that his office had received a faxed image of a noose, and that his wife had been threatened over the phone. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., have both had district office windows smashed, as has the office of the Cincinnati Democratic Party. Slaughter, who as chair of the House Rules Committee has had her name associated with House floor procedures, also received a voicemail that used the word "snipers." Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., released a passel of menacing voicemails that he received from abortion opponents who believe he betrayed their cause. And in Virginia, after a tea party activist urged angry healthcare opponents to pay a visit to the house of Rep. Tom Perriello, and mistakenly released his brother’s address instead, someone severed the gas line at Perriello's brother’s house.

Well, today on "Morning Joe", Joe Scarborough said he never remembered the Republicans "whining" about things like this. Basically saying Democrats are wimps and should be okay with this.
Well, maybe, dipshit, because while Democrats and liberals complained about Bush trashing our budget surplus and turning it into a deficit, or launching an unnecessary war to prove he had balls or flying over Katrina to saw "ooowwwhhh, looking - Heck of a job Brownie," while all that shit happened we liberals raised money, and campaigned against the administration and laws we thought were wrong. We didn't run around trying to intimidate Republicans with bricks, concrete and pipe cutters.

There might be a few protesters at a Senate Hearing - but we didn't cut any one's gas line or threaten to kill any one's wife.
