My congressman has canceled his town halls because he received death threats
OVERLAND PARK, KAN. - Police are investigating after Rep. Dennis Moore, (D) Kan. 3rd Dist., received two threats in the last 10 days over the health care reform bill. One came by phone to his office in Overland Park, and the other he didn't want to elaborate on.
Because Rep. Moore takes these threats seriously, and because he said he doesn't want to deal with the circus other members of Congress have been subjected to, he's not holding any town hall meetings on health care. Instead, he's sending out surveys to constituents and taking opinions by phone and email (see contact information below).
Rep. Moore said he hasn't seen this much outcry over an issue since the Vietnam era.
"I expect to have differences with people, differences of opinion. And, I respect people's opinions. But, I expect exchanges we have to be respectful and not threatening. As a former prosecutor, I certainly do not tolerate threats well and that's why I contacted the police department," said Rep. Moore.

Notice, please. The dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher uses the words "death threats." The congressman uses the word "threats." And of course to a liberal Democrat congressman, the simple comment, "As a constituent of yours, I want to let you know what I think," is a "threat," and a "death threat" to the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher.

8. I'm glad they made the decision to cancel. He can conduct a telephone meeting.
My hats off to you, Rep. Moore. The crazy ones cannot be trusted.
That's why the primitives are purposely isolated on Skins's island; crazy ones can't be trusted out in the real world.

10. Since its now obvious the town halls can't be used to share ideas and discuss legitimate concerns I'm surprised they aren't all canceled. At this point they only benefit the racist teabirthers and their insurance industry handlers.

11. Plenty of disappointed nutcase commenters at that link.
Evidently death threats, lies and hysteria are important and treasured parts of civic discourse for these handjobs.
