The New Tone: Direct, Unambiguous Death Threats Sent To Wisconsin Senators

Chilling stuff, really.

It will be allowed to continue because the media does not report on it -- if they reported on it, it would embarrass the union thug/left-liberal side, and they would realize it is politically counterproductive.

But since the media won't embarrass them with it, it's a freebie -- they get all the upside of a death threat and none of the downside.

Plus... The above analysis only holds if this is just a threat. If it's more than that -- an actual plan to commit murder -- well, then the media will be complicit in the deaths. Not just biased, but murderous.

It's also at Big Government.

Rioters also tried to break in the windows of the senators' cars.

Senate Republicans were harried by swarming crowds. “We tried to get out of the building after the vote, because they were rushing the chamber, and we were escorted by security through a tunnel system to another building. But, after being tipped off by a Democrat, they mobbed the exit at that building, and were literally trying to break the windows of the cars we were in as we were driving away,” Republican senator Randy Hopper tells NRO. Such tactics, he sighs, were hardly unexpected. “I got a phone call yesterday saying that we should be executed. I’ve had messages saying that they want to beat me with a billy club.”

Note they had a secret method of exit, as a security measure, and a Democrat tipped off the mob, deliberately putting his fellow representatives in danger of bodily harm.

I hope the Republicans remember that.
