FBI Investigates Perriello Threats

The FBI is investigating threats to Rep. Tom Perriello (D-Va.), an “aye” vote on health care. The threats go all the way up to a severed gas line at the house of Perriello’s brother. Nigel Coleman of the Danville, Va. Tea Party reacts:

I obviously condemn these actions. I would hope that people aren’t thinking about doing anything crazy. We just wanted people to get close to the congressman and have their voices heard. Violence is not going to answer anything. I’m a little shocked and amazed.

If there’s any district where blowback against some wild-eyed Tea Party activity could save an incumbent Democrat, it’s this one.

The true face of the foaming-mouthed Teabagger is familiar enough at this point–they loathe the democratic process and long for a new Mussolini to lead their goon-squad-flavoured organization to supremacy——Seig Heil!
