A death threat debunked
The Obamacare supporters in Colorado are on an unlucky streak.
Last week, Democrats falsely accused conservative opponents of the health care takeover of vandalizing their party headquarters. Turned out the “hate crime” was perpetrated by anarchist nutballs.
Next, supporters of Congressman John Salazar falsely accused a town hall protester of hurling a death threat at the Democrat.
It’s strike two (hat tip – People’s Press Collective). Via the Denver Post:
Grand Junction police say the report of a death threat against U.S. Rep. John Salazar turned out to be “unfounded.”
The threat reportedly had been made outside Salazar’s Grand Junction office Aug. 24 as health care reform opponents and supporters squared off.
“People who witnessed the interaction between the man who made the complaint and the suspect confirmed they never heard any direct threats made regarding Congressman Salazar,” said Kate Porras, spokeswoman for the Grand Junction police.
“Also, a (Grand Junction police officer) in close proximity when the interaction took place never heard any direct threats made against Salazar by the suspect,” she said.
Asked whether the person filing the report faced any kind of charge, such as filing a false report, Porras said, “Not at this time. We don’t have any information to show the person who filed the report intentionally gave us false information.”
Does the story sound familiar?
It should:
Flashback – “Baffled:” Secret Service can’t find anyone to corroborate reporter’s “Kill them” claim
Flashback – Obama cultists cry wolf: “N-word” yelled at Palin rally! Not.

the libs are running scared…they’ll do anything to try to make conservatives look bad….
Tired old hate and racist filled false accusations by the left.
Ridiculously redundant wretched wrecks.
Pity the fools, they are a sad lot.
p.s. Libs-
GO HOME! Get the heck outta Colorado.
We know you are not, can not, be from here.
I was thinking of your “Flashback” (phantom death threats at McCain rally) when I read this Michelle. You’re right on the money. Ann Coulter has also written much in her books, and on her website about these phantom “offenses” allegedly committed against liberals by conservatives. It is almost always the case that these types of reports are a hoax. Libs cant help acting like scum**bags. They hate a fair debate, so they have to gin up hatred with these lies.
We’re in the middle of another revolution. No shots are being fired; it’s a war of ideas. The marxists have been working for years, establishing their bases and now are out in the open, in full warfare with our type of government. Like the campaign of New York, in 1776, we’re in retreat, but if we stay the course, and keep our principles together, we’ll have our Trenton/Princeton, and trounce them. I suspect our victory will be 2010.
Libs: “Facts? We don’t need no stinkin’ facts!”
MSM: “Run with it! We don’t need to verify it if it helps our cause. Its not like we have any integrity to lose anymore.”
It looks like the Dems/socialists are really hankering to have a “Burning the Reichstag” party, aren’t they?
They only have to win once, remember. We can strike down phony hate crime after phony death threat time and time again and it won’t matter one bit. Because someday, someone will do such a thing (we’re a geographical entity with > 300 million people which leaves a lot of possible suspects), and the Left will make sure we never hear the end of it. Personally, I really and truly hope a very large meteor lands on ObamaCare and leaves only a smokey crater behind. I’m speaking metaphorically, of course, but could there be such a thing as a metaphorical hate crime? Your guess is as good as mine.
John Salazar is actually a pretty good rep. He almost always votes in the best interests of his constituents who are rural and conservative.
He’s far, FAR better than his brother.
Death threats are a serious matter and reciving one is no laughing matter. But with people crying wolf or dressing in wolf colthing,to speak metaphorically, may cause real threats to be taken less seriously.
What worries me is real death threats made to Michelle and to Glenn Beck. They are on my prayer list. I pray that God will surround them and their families with angels with flaming swords to guard and protect them from harm.
The democRats know they have a tenuous hold on Colorado. The state was solid republican for decades, and then the democRat nutjobs from the “left coast” started moving in to the mountains and front range, and started to tilt the balance. However, there are still a lot of independents who are getting fed up with this caterwauling, and smoke & mirrors of the dems. The democRats see the writing on the wall here, and they are indeed running scared.
My own little weasel democRat, Betsey Marky has been doing her damndest to avoid conservatives in her district … So far, she’s been pretty successful at avoiding confrontation, but she is a one term rep. Her co-sponsorship of the “crap and tax” bill is going to destroy what paltry support she has in the rural, agricultural areas that comprise the vast bulk of her district. The more populated areas along the front range are disgruntled due to the economy, too. I don’t think even CSU in Ft, Collins, and UNC, in Greeley will save her come next election.
Every rally I’ve been to have been closely monitored by our SAPD, thankfully! I have yet to see any “threats”, although Ciro Rodriquez’s town hall meeting got a bit rowdy in the overflow area outside the auditorium, but considering which side of San Antonio it was on, it was not entirely unexpected.
Do you think I could get the police to investigate Obama’s threat of killing me by his pushing the health care reform bill?
Don’t you just love it when they expose their true agenda?? They are finally showing some “transparency” and the polls show the results. Every time one of these nasty tactics is shown the light of day, the liberals lose a bit more of whatever credibility they had. Obama won the election because of a brilliantly run campaign and lots of lies and spin. He fooled the American “moderates”. He is now losing the support of moderates and even a lot of democrats. I see a shift of paradigm happening more every day. Even college kids are starting to stand up to their liberal professors more and more and exposing them to daylight. We have been emboldened by the blatant attempt of the radicals to destroy us and “remake” us in their marxist image. We just needed to be scared out of our wits first. It’s about time!
That is my daily prayer also! God is listening.
I want to report a death threat. After I spilled some paint on the living room rug my Mom said “she could just kill me”. That was in 1949 and I am still worried.
we really do get tarred with a big big brush. every media outlet except one tv channel on cable, and talk radio echoes the dnc talking pointsad nauseum while completely ignoring facts. coulter and michelle have discovered more fake warriors protesting against the war than the entire msm combined. they still haven’t figured out jawn kerry is a phoney. march in washington sept 12. then they can’t deny it.
Crying “wolf!” – not good in any respect.
This type of lying by the socialists is in keeping with the report published by The B.O. that said conservatives are terrorist threats. They have to keep inventing “crimes” so the report can look genuine.
Remember when NBC put a few undercover reporters dressed as muslims at a NASCAR event? They were expecting something newsworthy. All they got was a big yawn.
I guess them there stoopud hicks was just intrested in that there NASCAR race!
It just shows you how much contempt the city-dwelling liberals have for the intelligent people of the country.
The libs around me still use expressions like, “Repubs are the party of hate, Repubs are the party of no, Repubs are just a bunch of hate-mongers.” I am sick of it. Libs toss around a lot of hate speech and get away with it. I no longer use words used by liberals:
Moderate – liberalspeak for wishy-washy person who won’t take a stand.
Bipartisan – liberalspeak – such a thing doesn’t exist for liberals.
Truth to power – crappy liberalspeak
social justice – more crappy liberalspeak.
overseas contingency – liberalspeak for war on terror that they claim doesn’t include Muslims.
Terrorists – very crappy liberalspeak that defines non-Muslim Americans who really want the Healthcare Bill but won’t say so because they hate Obama because he’s black.
I could go on and on, but you get my meaning.
