scream

Wingnut Confederate Yankee:

Go to your Congressman's office and scream at him in the most colorful language possible. Hang him in effigy at protests. If you're willing to do the time for the crime, have a swing at him.

(emphasis added)

And the commenters are even nastier:

I hove no problem targeting these scum or their families. They are targeting mine with this piece of shit law they passed. I believe it was a french philospher, sorry cant spell his name, that said the best form of government is democracy liberally sprinkled with assassination. It appears it is time to start the latter part. Let these ass-hats know that we are displease and will not wait to show our displeasure.

I am doing my civic duty and alerting the authorities, as well as the hosting provider of this. It’s time for us to be vigilant and let our law enforcement put an end to this needless call for violence.

They are just determined to keep this story going:

Police labor officials, angry over a federal grand jury's refusal to indict Rep. Cynthia McKinney for assaulting a police officer, said Monday said they want the House ethics committee to review her conduct.

And they said the grand jury's decision last week sent the message that "it's okay to hit a police officer."

"We hope that members of Congress will review her actions in light of their rules within their own ethics committee," Andrew Maybo, chairman of the U.S. Capitol Police Labor Committee, told reporters Monday at a news conference in Washington.

I of course do not know all the facts of this case but one thing sticks out in my mind. When we first started hearing details about what happened, it was reported that the officer came from behind and grabbed Rep. McKinney. After that, Rep. McKinney turned around and hit the officer. If that is the case then how could she be in trouble for hitting a police officer if she didn't know it was a police officer? Her actions could be claimed in self defense.

If the House Ethics Committee does decide to investigate this then there should be a loud scream by Democrats for an investigation into Karl Rove. The same thing happened, there was an investigation and a grand jury decided not to indict. Of course it would take a different committee to investigate Rove but if the House wants to get in the business of investigating issues that have been decided by a grand jury then it must be so across the board.
