I logged on today (tonight) to try and find some links about the responses to the passing of the healthcare bill but there doesn't seem to be anything here.
Anyone got some links to news articles about some of those nasty responses to the health care bill? I seem to remember that a few bricks went through windows, a few death threats were reported, and the odd public figure (*cough* palin beck *cough*) was accused of inciting violence. ... but I don't have links to the articles.
Anyone know where they might be found? |

Here's the blurb I decided to use:
1 - FBI probes threats over Democrats' healthcare vote
“Democrats decried heated Republican rhetoric, including 2008 vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's Twitter comment urging supporters, "Don't Retreat, Instead -- RELOAD."
A Palin Facebook post continued the firearms theme, featuring a U.S. map targeting 20 members of Congress who backed the healthcare legislation, using the crosshairs of a gunsight to note each of their home states.”

Oh man, there's some stuff here that's new to me for sure.
| quote: |
IVY, Va. — The authorities here confirmed Thursday that a gas line had been deliberately cut at the home of a brother of a Democratic congressman who voted for the health care bill, making it potentially the most dangerous of many acts of violence and threats against supporters of the bill in the last week.
The house had been mistakenly listed on the blog of a Tea Party activist as the home of the congressman, Tom Perriello, a first-term Democrat representing southern Virginia. But the damage that took place on Tuesday was no blunder, the authorities said.
