Rather than do several posts on the level of hate in this country these days, one will be enough. A veritable combo plate of vile spew and threatening words.
Have yourself a heaping pot of hostility stew (click on image to enlarge):
An anonymous conservative group has set up a website where, for $2,500 to $3,500, Obama haters can grab a billboard adorned with a cartoon image of Obama’s face and a vitriolic message.
How nice of them to share their "personal" feelings.
So far, the nameless head of the group says their Web site has received more than 1,800 hits and that contributions that go toward paying for the billboards.
Add a dash of death threats to the hostility stew:
U.S. Rep. John Dingell (D-Dearborn) says in the aftermath of passing health care reform, he and members of his staff have been getting death threats so serious, he has contacted the FBI.
“They’ve been very nasty," the 83-year-old congressman tells The Monroe Evening News.
Not sure I've ever heard of a death threat that isn't nasty. Hence, stir carefully.
And now, add an extra splash of extremist nutcase letters:
Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter is among state leaders across the country receiving threatening letters from an extremist group. [...]
As of Wednesday, more than 30 governors had received letters saying if they don't leave office within three days they will be removed, according to an internal intelligence note by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security.
Threats beget more threats. Threats beget violence. Violence begets more violence:
The FBI is warning police across the country that an anti-government group's call to remove governors from office could provoke violence by others.
That could end in a disaster.
