Did You Know...

After reading this story I waited for a tsunami of reminders from the left that we’re supposed to be in the age of the “new tone” and this kind of language has no place in modern-day political dialogue, but I haven’t yet heard a single one:

MADISON – The State Department of Justice confirms that it is investigating several death threats against a number of lawmakers in response to the legislature’s move to strip employees of many collective bargaining rights.

Among the threats the Justice Department is investigationg is one that was emailed to Republican Senators Wednesday night. Newsradio 620 WTMJ has obtained that email.

The following is the unedited email:

Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your familes will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks. Please explain to them that this is because if we get rid of you and your families then it will save the rights of 300,000 people and also be able to close the deficit that you have created. I hope you have a good time in hell. Read below for more information on possible scenarios in which you will die.

It goes on.

Will HW & Bubba’s Institute for Civil Discourse have a “Wisconsin” wing? Doubtful.

Update: Meanwhile, oddly enough, President Obama delivered an anti-bullying lecture.

Is this the same Obama who encouraged supporters to “get in the face” of people they disagree with?
