    Word Is Jessie Jackson Is there. I'd be embarrassed with that Idiot showing up sticking up for my rights. Has he ever had a job besides protesting?

    If I am correct, isn't a threat like that against a government employee a felony ?

    You know I love you bro.....but that's pretty disturbing you actually think its ok to threaten the life of another person, just because they don't agree with your point of view. :o

    ..and the irony of it all (hotair.com)

    Obama is giving a lecture to America on bullying today. :cool:

    Bullying can have destructive consequences for our young people,” Obama will tell about 150 students, parents, teachers and nonprofit leaders, according to an advance text of his remarks released by the White House. “And it’s not something we have to accept.”

    I draw the line at threats, no need to threaten anyone. If you cannot have a rational conversation with someone, buy a cabin in the woods and live alone.

    Work together for the better of us all.

    Don't you worry yourself none about me Dan, I'll be OK. But tonight when you lay down to go to sleep, you think about that last President we had and a father over in Iraq digging through the rubble to find enough of his children to bury after we Shock and Awed the chit out of them, then multiply it 100,000 times for no other reason than money power and greed. Thats Disturbing!
    And please, I'm not sticking up for the guy saying he should be killing anyone.
    I'm one of the good guys!

    And Dan, after you think about that, I want you to think back about slavery. Just think about that dan. After you do that, I want you to watch "Roots". And after you think about that, I want you to think Vietnam. Think about that Dan. And after that, I want you to think about what Italians went thru coming to this country. Then the discrimination of the Irish folks. And then after that, I want you to consider the Crusades Dan. That dad gone pope.

    What does any of this have to do about curtailing collective bargaining in WI? I have no idea.

    People get high on emotions and it's amazing what people will say.

    Well it doesn't, it has to do with the word "Disturbing". Maybe if you watch Sasame Street today, they will break it down for you.

    Correct...Nothing.

    Sliv, I won't bite. I honestly can't have a conversation about this with someone who believes its ok to threaten the life of a politician, just because your ideas are different. With that mindset, your logic and arguments can't be taken seriously.

    I guess our conversations will have to be strictly about hunting, fishing, women and beer. :beer:

    Not only is it a felony to threaten a government (in this case, state government) employee....it's a federal offense to threaten anyone over the internet.

    There's no way this idiot won't get caught.

    Two things come to mind here.

    1. I am sure the Republican's were prepared for threats against their lives.
    2. If one of them gets killed it will take the entire countries view of Unions and kill any hope they have of support due to this bill. I highly doubt the idiot sending the email was secure enough not to get caught and they will likely get to know some Union Jail Guards soon;)

    This is what happened in 1985 with the UMW in Ky. They had all the public support needed to sway company. Union thugs shot the truck driver and basically collapsed the UMW to what it is today.

    Hayes West was killed on May 29, 1985 by a shotgun blast with shells that were only available to police and security companies. No union members that were charged were seen on the mountain that day but plenty of securty packing shotguns.

    Four miners were framed entirely on testimony of paid informants saying West was killed by shots from a nearby mountain. Deer Rifles!
    Just saying, anyone interested can look it up. It's always good to get both sides of a story.

    I don't think getting into which is more evil unions, companies or people is going to solve much. They all have their skeletons.
