"We had no town hall events scheduled for the August recess anyway, but in light of everything that's happened -- we have received a threatening phone call in the D.C. office, there have been calls to the Raleigh office," said Miller communications director LuAnn Canipe, in an interview with TPM. The threatening call in question happened earlier this week.Stay classy, Wingnuts!"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. So this could develop into something soon enough.
It seems Obama Derangement Syndrome is beginning to mutate into full-blown sociopathic hate. Once again, I have to wonder how long it will take before somebody decides that the government offering a public option is just so unbearably awful that people have to be physically hurt in order to stop it. What the hell is wrong with people? Is defending the right of health insurance companies to screw over Americans really one of those "tree of liberty has to be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants" moments, folks?
Keep making those pre-emptive apologies for future violence and outright denials that you've whipped these nutbars into frenzy mode, guys. I'm sure it'll help you guys feel better when the next violent incident claims lives.
