Police in Michigan are investigating after an irate reader of the Port Huron Times-Herald reportedly called in a threat to the newspaper after it criticized a local House representative's participation in the anti-health reform Tea Party protest two weeks ago.
"A 60-year-old Port Huron woman threatened to take a gun to the newspaper and 'do what they did at Fort Hood,' according to police," the Times-Herald reported on Tuesday.
The threat referred to the shooting deaths of 13 people at the US Army base in Fort Hood, Texas, on November 5. Army psychiatrist Nidal Malik Hasan has been charged with murder in the shootings.
The newspaper says the woman's alleged threat came over an editorial that ran last week which described US House Rep. Candice Miller's participation in the anti-health reform protest as "shameful." Miller, a Republican who represents Michigan's 10th district, reportedly made herself very visible during the November 5 protest on Capitol Hill, organized by Republican firebrand Michele Bachmann.
Among other things, the protest featured a sign that compared Democrats' health care reform efforts to the slaughter of Jews in the Dachau concentration camp.

Have something against the government?
Well the media is gonna block you out.
The tea-parties were HUGE and so were the protests outside of the G20 summits, yet they were not covered at all by the media, and when it was, people were called crazy and made to look like new generation hippies.
What the woman has threatened with is the only way to get across a message now

This is purely an attempt to paint 'tea party protestors' as crazy radicals - who have no real legitimacy, and should not be supported because they are muslim terrorists.
Its a pathetic, boringly obvious MSM trick to try and derail legitimate protest over disgusting acts of govt.
Glenn Beck - (who is trying to lead the controlled opposition for the NWO) should heed this move by the MSM to brand name the tea parties as terrorists.
Hwe might serve them now as a loony leader - but he would also look good rotting in prison as a terrorist if thats what is going to work for them.
He is looking more and more likely to be stabbed in the .. er .. chest .. by those whose boots he licks, and it couldn't happen to a nicer piece of filth.

That can't be a sane woman. For her country, she is going to emulate a misguided psychopath murdering people in the name of Allah? What in the hell kind of conservative old lady is she?
Really though, using her statements as the prime example of conservatism/teabaggers today is laughably biased. It would be like taking the dirty hippies waving signs on street corners as the common liberal.
