Dem Congressman Gets Death Threats Over Health Care Bill

By GottaLaff

We knew the irrational mob mentality of the Rushpublicrazies would escalate, and we were right:

Rep. Brad Miller (D-NC) will not be hosting any town hall events this August -- instead, he's making himself available to constituents for one-on-one meetings about health care reform -- and at least part of the reason is this: His offices have received threatening phone calls, including at least one direct threat against his life. [...]

"The call to the D.C. office was, 'Miller could lose his life over this,'" said Canipe. "Our staffer took it so seriously, he confirmed what the guy was saying. He said, 'Sir is that a threat?' and at that time our staffer was getting the phone number off caller ID and turning it over to the Capitol Police."

They haven't heard anything back from the police yet, but they did get the caller's number. [...]

"Our point is, we're not gonna be bullied into having a town hall so it can then be interrupted by the fake grassroots folks."

This is just sick. And Michael Steele thinks everything is hunky dory. What a guy. What sound judgment. What fine leadership.
