There are more and more reports coming out of threats against Members of Congress who voted for Health Care Reform from right-wing extremists.
It is so bad that now some Members of Congress are asking for special protection, in fear of their lives (please watch vid this link, too, titled "Hoyer: Dems at risk due to threats").

It is one thing to debate a topic, it is another to make threats of violence. Of course, right-wing extremist talk show hosts like Rush Limbaugh saying
"...it is time to defeat these bastards and wipe them out.." just stokes up the fires further of the haters in our society.

And Sarah Palin has just released a "HIT LIST" on Congress, in which she uses terms like "firing salvos"and lists those targeted on a map with a gun

How totally shameful and deplorable. Who ever thought that trying to be life-affirming for millions of Americans with health care reform would bring about such life-negating hatred??
It all is so un-American...and nothing "patriotic" about any of this. And such a threat to all decent, law-abiding Americans of good will.
