Constant Republican attacks on Supreme Court have resulted in death threats!

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she and former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor" have been the targets of death threats from the "irrational fringe" of society, people apparently spurred by Republican criticism of the high court.

Ginsburg revealed in a speech in South Africa last month that she and O'Connor were threatened a year ago by someone who called on the Internet for the immediate "patriotic" killing of the justices.

Security concerns among judges have been growing.

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter joked earlier this year that Justice
John Paul Stevens should be poisoned. Over the past few months O'Connor has complained that criticism, mainly by Republicans, has threatened judicial independence to deal with difficult issues like gay marriage.


Is this how the Republicans deal with everything? Do they attack everyone who does not agree with them?

Now my assumption is that this is not indicative of how the majority of Republicans feel. But as long as you allow Ann Coulter to be your spokesbitch then you cannot expect others to not assume that you support this kind of verbal, and even physical, attack on those who do not see things your way.

I hope that you are ashamed to be presented in this light. I know I would be.
