In an e-mail bright and early this morning, it was brought to my attention that Tea Party Activists plan to burn effigies of individuals on the other side of the floor who have been in support of Obama's attempts to reform Healthcare on these shores.
In addition, Jon Vogel (DCCC Executive Director) underscored in his to-the-point missive that because "worshipping" tea-party "extremists" (such as Glen Beck and others) have remained undeterred by their embarrassing loss in the NY-23 Special Election, the battle for supremacy surges forward.
"First they announced that they are forming their own political action committee with the goal of raising millions to attack Democrats who voted for health insurance reform," he fumed.
"Now they've taken their protests to shocking new lows. Next weekend, they are planning to burn Democratic Members of Congress in effigy and more of these sickening displays are planned for the week ahead," he groused in his rousing crack-of-dawn communication.
Mr. Vogel is pitching a petition (posted below) which calls on Republican Members of Congress to denounce what he has alleged are despicable actions on the part of the "tea-party crowd".
"Join the Democrats in a civil and constructive debate on bringing urgently-needed health insurance reform."
As I noted in the "comment box" provided (which was summarily returned post haste) - individuals are entitled to voice their opinions and share their views freely and openly in a democratic society - without threat of ridicule, persecution, or an effigy-burning of their image at the stake.
John Vogel urges Americans to not only sign the petition, but also:
