Rep. Michele Bachmann: "I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous….having a revolution every now and then is a good thing."
Rep. John Boehner: "Take [Democratic Congressman] Steve Driehaus, for example. He may be a dead man. He can't go home to the west side of Cincinnati."
Rep. Steve King: "Let's beat that other side to a pulp! Let's take them out. Let's chase them down."
Over the last week, Tea Party extremists have made death threats against lawmakers and their children. They've thrown bricks through the office windows of Congress Members who voted for healthcare reform. One right-wing domestic terrorist even sent an envelope to a New York Congressman with white powder enclosed and a letter telling him to "drop dead."
Sign
our petition to the GOP: Apologize for your hate-spewing proxies in the
Tea Party Patriots. It is not acceptable for you to build your party's
political fortunes by encouraging and defending bigotry and hatred
among your supporters.
Also, please share the petition by posting it on your Facebook wall and send it to your friends and family.
It's time to end this dangerous GOP demagoguery.
Yours,
Robert Greenwald
