Quite the arm on that boy

We have been seeing some claims of violence and foul language made by Democrats with Conservative Republicans and TEA Party members being accused as the perpetrators. In the case of Congressman John Lewis, three different videos shot from three different angles laid waste to his claim that someone called him a N*gger and that someone spat on his colleague -- Rep. Emanuel Cleaver(here and here). Congressman John Lewis is a liar. Today's Seattle Times had this story:

Vandals target Democrats over health-bill vote
As opponents' anger has built over the Democrats' passage of health-care legislation, Internet posts urging opponents to take action may have sparked a viral spate of vandalism and other threats against members of Congress and their families.

They fawn all over Reps. Lewis and Cleaver, cite a few other items and then say this:

Protesters have been demonstrating at Driehaus' Ohio home, said Tim Mulvey, a spokesman for the anti-abortion Democrat who joined Stupak in voting for the health bill. A rock was thrown through the window of Driehaus' Cincinnati office Sunday, and a death threat was phoned in to his Washington office a day later, Mulvey said.

"It's getting out of hand," Mulvey said.

Here is a screencap in case they slipstream an edit into the article:
Click to embiggen... From Driehaus' own website: http://driehaus.house.gov/ Judging from the address -- Suite 3003, I can only assume that Rep. Driehaus' office is on the 30th floor -- as I said, that is quite the arm on that boy... Hat tip to Sound Politics for the original tip. Posted by DaveH at March 25, 2010 9:06 PM
