WI Dem legislator issues death threat

[subdjoe]

Here are more of your friends, Mink. Seems they are a bunch of racists wanting to lynch Justice Thomas. Or cut off his toes (a punishment sometimes inflicted on chronic runaway slaves), or send him back to the fields. Nice people, your friends on the left. So tolerant.

[Mink]

So this is really all about pointing fingers at who can behave the worse?

Back to the legislature in question, what are you looking for here...another scolding from the president?

[subdjoe]

Mink, you miss the point - the left is constantly whining about how violent/angry/hateful the right is and point out a few aberrations, and then, as recently, make a call for more civility and reasoned discourse. All these that I have posted have been within weeks of the POTUS making the latest round of denouncing the right for being violent/angry/hateful, and we see that it is business as usual for the left.


ADDED:

Basically, the echos from the lefts lies about the right calling for violence that resulted in the shootings in AZ hadn't died out before the left was again calling for lynchings, violence against blacks, and yelling F_U_CK_ You at people who dared to disagree. Yeah - the left screams for civility from one side of the mouth while making death threats, shouting down opposing views, and dropping f-bombs from the other.

[Mink]

No, I got your point. It's basically blaming one side, while admitting to a "few aberrations" from the other, in other words the right can dish it out, but can't take a dose of their own medicine.

Granted, none of this is good for the country and should be stopped, which is what Pres. Obama tried to solve and calm down the rhetoric.

I'm not condoning this behavior from the Left but at least I can admit they are just as guilty as the hypocrites from the right.

No, Mink. You still don't seem to "get it". What Joe is trying to expose is the TOTAL hypocrisy of the LEFT and how it is being displayed more openly as they are losing their grip on power. They do not "demonstrate"...they PROTEST, and they do it with hateful rhetoric, personal attacks, sexual comments, nasty epitaphs, and general destruction of property wherever the "demonstrate" (the Wisconsin capital building is the most current example, the D.C. capital mall is another from the recent past). In general, it seems that the Left is a perfect example of how uncivil people can become. It's embarrassing to watch how they (mis)behave and show the ugly side of humanity. Yet, while doing so, they still try to point at the Tea Party folks and (falsely) claim those tactics are done by those folks.
Maybe if you really watched what is going on rather than hold onto your personal bias, you would be able to admit the truth.

[Mink]

Dances, I got it the first time, thank you . : )

[subdjoe]

Just ignoring it.

[jgaffney]

I read through the entire thread and it seems to me that Mink has yet to post an instance of right wing vitreol that comes anywhere near the level of the several instances of left wing vitreol. An accusation without evidence is merely hot air.

Here is the FBI story :
It seems Obama’s FBI is very selective in who they investigate and arrest for death threats sent via email and postings on blogs :
According to an affidavit sworn by FBI Agent Nathan Jacobs, Crosby sent more than 20 bizarre, and often threatening, messages to NPR via a “Contact Us” form on the organization’s web site. Many of the messages–which were sent during a two-month period ending with Crosby’s arrest–“referenced ‘kikes’ and contained other generalized threats directed toward NPR,” Jacobs noted.
But it was a January 17 message that prompted NPR officials to contact federal investigators. In that communication, Crosby allegedly threatened to kill “All Things Considered” host Melissa Block, whom he described as “an annoying <unt who is helping to destroy me to use me as a human sacrifice. She will be raped, beaten, tortured, and murdered very soon.” Agents traced the threat to an IP associated with a Starbucks location on Congress Street in Portland.
In a January 23 communication sent via the NPR web site, Crosby referred to Guy Raz, the weekend host of “All Things Considered.” The message–purportedly from someone with the e-mail address [e-mail]–stated that, “I will remind Mr. Raz that 100 years ago a kike like him would have been hanging from a tree for disrespecting my privacy like that.” Crosby then allegedly added, “If I can make it to DC, I will try to find the kike and take care of business.”
How is this any different than the threats you have been getting but they choose to ignore. Full story here:
