Secret Service Arrests Man Who Threatened to Behead President Obama in Email Filled With Racist Tea Party Rhetoric
http://aattp.org/secret-service-arrests-man-who-threatened-to-behead-president-obama-in-email-filled-with-racist-tea-party-rhetoric/
"Christopher Perkins O’Brien, of Annapolis, was arrested on Sunday after threatening to kill President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama. He detailed his plans in an explicit email littered with racist remarks and standard Tea Party rhetoric, and was charged with making a violent threat against the President and threatening bodily harm against the first family. He was also charged with using interstate communications to make the death threat.
I’m betting it’s three days at most before someone over at Breibart declares him a hero."

Remember the Caucus Room meeting?
"During the four hour meeting:
The senior GOP members plotted to bring Congress to a standstill regardless how much it would hurt the American Economy by pledging to obstruct and block President Obama on all legislation.
These Republican members of Congress were not simply airing their complaints regarding the other party's political platform for four long hours. No, these Republican Congressional Policymakers, who were elected to do 'the People's work' were literally plotting to sabotage, undermine and destroy the U.S. Economy." (Reposted)

"Republicans want as few Americans as possible to show up to the polls this year. They know when fewer people vote, the better it is for the GOP. And it’s like I’ve said numerous times, any party or politician who’s trying to make it more difficult to vote or discourage Americans from voting clearly has some kind of unethical ulterior motive."

"Underneath it all, the truth is there to see: if the Republicans had something – anything – they would not be so eager to stop people from voting. But they have nothing and they know it, and they know we know it, which leaves them no choice but to let only those whose votes they can trust – white Evangelicals – retain the voting franchise. The rest of Americans? Well, they can go the way of the 47 percent."
