This is an exceedingly disturbing report from last night’s Rachel Maddow Show<\/i> on the rising wave of terrorism by Rightwing extremists — now known as the Republican Party — in the wake of the passage of healthcare insurance reform.<\/p>\n

I’ve long warned, and stand by the disturbing prediction again today, that someone will end up dead before this is all over. Where, oh, where, are the responsible GOP leaders who ought to be denouncing what’s going on here loudly and clearly<\/i>?<\/p>\n

It’s somewhat remarkable that Maddow never uses the word “terrorism” in this report, despite this meeting the very definition of the word.<\/strike> (Ed note: Please see correction on this point below.<\/i>)<\/p>\n

Since Maddow’s report last night, things have only gotten reportedly worse. In VA, according to Politico<\/a>, a tea bagger has posted what he thought was the home address of Democratic Rep. Thomas Perriello, inviting others to “drop by” and lend a “personal touch” to their opinions on the freshman Congressman’s vote on health insurance reform. The address, however, turned out to be that of his brother who has a wife and four children under the age of eight.<\/p>\n

Officials are now investigating a severed gas line<\/a> at his brother’s home.<\/p>\n

Watch Maddow’s report. This story ought to be the lead of every<\/i> broadcast media outlet right now (and it certainly would<\/i> have seen wall-to-wall coverage on Fox “News” had these been Republican<\/em> offices vandalized by domestic Democratic-leaning<\/i> terrorists.)<\/p>\n

Also, please consider signing on to Velvet Revolution’s StopDomesticTerror.com<\/a> campaign before<\/i> it’s too late again. [Disclosure: The BRAD BLOG<\/a> is a co-founder of VR. Hat-tip: BRAD BLOG reader “PS”.<\/i>]\n

CORRECTION 3\/26\/10: Not sure how I missed it — must have been jotting down a note at the moment she mentioned it — but in fact, Maddow <\/i>did note that some of these acts sound very much as if they are “close to the legal definition of terrorism in this country.” She did so at appx. the 8:30min mark in the video above. My apologies for the oversight, and my thanks to BRAD BLOG commenter Lora<\/a> for pointing it out.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
