Congresswoman Louise Slaughter reported that her office was damaged by vandals, and received phone calls threatening her children and grand children. Similar threats were leveled at Michigan Democrat Bart Stupak and Ohio's Steve Driehaus. From Politico: Slaughter, a Democrat who chairs the House Rules Committee, said a caller to her office last week vowed to send snipers to “kill the children of the members who voted yes.” Her office reported the call to police, who were dispatched to provide protection for Slaughter’s grandchildren. She has also been in touch with the FBI and U.S. Postal Service inspectors, who intercepted a letter en route to her home in upstate New York. Stupak, the Michigan Democrat whose last-minute compromise on abortion guaranteed passage of the bill Sunday, said callers have left messages for him saying, “You’re dead; we know where you live; we’ll get you.” Rhetoric in the final days and hours of the debate around the health care got particularly heated. Texas representative Randy Neugebauer received both condemnation and praise after shouting 'baby killer' allegedly at Democrat Bart Stupak. Neugebauer later said the insult was hurled at no one in particular. Earlier during the weekend, a number of black Congressman reported that protesters hurled racial slurs at them. One congressman, civil rights leader James Clyburn, claimed that some of the faxes he received included an image of a noose and racial slurs. Prominent Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank, one of the only openly gay members of Congress, was the victim of homophobic insults. Tea Party and GOP leadership has condemned these racial slurs. From Fox News: Republican National Chairman Michael Steele and one of the organizers of Saturday's Tea Party rally strongly condemned the racial slurs that some black lawmakers alleged were yelled at them by some health care protesters as they headed for a procedural vote at Capitol Hill. "I absolutely think it's isolated," Amy Kremer, the grassroots coordinator of the Tea Party Express, told Fox News on Sunday. "It's disgraceful and the people in this movement won't tolerate it because that's not what we're about." Read mo http://network.nationalpost.com/NP/b...#ixzz0j7eUkiL2 - News nets are now reporting the above, with interviews of a number of elected officials who have received threats. The conservative way...shoot 'em all. What a country this is. Has this country been as divided as it is now, since the civil war? Don't know. Just askin. What difference does it make if it's better or worse than at some point in history.... Why don't you blame the Democrats for it. Instead of where it really belongs... racial slurs, spitting on people, death threats, actually murdering doctors. Do you really think that would help? Probably not. The blame game is a liberals thing anyway. The blame game is the fear-based tactics of the right. Have at it. It seems you have run out of steam. I'll check in with you sometime in the future.

I do not give consent to having the tenth amendment ignored, when it is ignored, then the Constitution is meaningless and the Declaration takes precedence.
