It's like deja-vu, allover again!
During this week's news (noose) stories there have been several incidents of intimidation and harassment. Earlier during this week-end's Obamacare marathon, a few congresspeople and other politicians allege that they were heckled by Tea Paty enthusiasts at the Capitol. According to the reports racial slurs were used against Congressional Black Caucus members such as John Lewis (D) of Georgia; Who were called racial epithets and spat upon. Also, Congressman Barney Frank was derided with homophobic insults. Oh, no! All this occurred while these lawmakers were proceeding to vote for the comprehensive overhaul of the U.S. health care system.
After all the celebration from the passing of the transformational law, a few stories surfaced about Democrat Congresspeople fearing retribution for having voted for the bill. Congresswoman Slaughter of New York claims someone threw bricks that broke her office window in Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls, Slowly I turned, step, by step, inch by inch...
Next, a brother of a Congressman from Virginia had his Natural gas line to his stove cut. These incidents were not attributed to vandals, but, to Tea Party members and to right-wing citizens who were sore about losing the Democrat Health Care Overhaul.
Since Tuesday when the Healthcare Law was signed by President Obama, several Democrat Congresspeople state that they have received telephone death threats. The FBI is currently investigating the death threats.
Is this a resurgence of the infamous MASSIVE RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY.
No, not Conspiracies? Here we go again.
Are these Democrats, Conspiracy Theorist Nutjobs?
After bullying their way against the will of the people to impose a fundamentally transformational, whimsical law; Now they are scared?
Is this how the nerds and geeks feel in schools when the bullies constantly harass and assault them? Yet, no one can protect them 24 hours a day. They have no bodyguards. Most of those students have to continue going to the same school at the risk of being bothered over and over again; With the risk of losing their lives eventually.
When the shoe is on the other foot it sure feels strange don't it?
The same "Krewe" that was so bombastic and belligerent on their path to passing this tyrannical - paradigm shifting legislation; Is now paranoid and in fear for their lives?
Dish it out, but, ....
Not for nothing, but, Congressman Erick Cantor (R) of Virginia, has also had shots fired at this office. He believes that it's inexcusable to use the recent "threats" for political gain or attention. ..
Arsenio.
