Moments like these make me ashamed to be an American. Aren’t we supposed to uphold democracy in this nation? When us leftists were bitter with the Bush Administration, did you see us threatening the lives of the GOP? This has got to stop. Ever since the health care bill was passed by the House this week, several house reps has received death threats. ABC News.com has more:

At least 10 House Democrats who voted Sunday for health care overhaul have received violent threats to their lives or property, party leaders said today. Extra security is needed for Congress members who voted for health care bill.

Several members have faced death threats and harassing phone calls while others have experienced vandalism at district offices or their private homes.

In one case, a gas line was cut outside the Virginia home of Rep. Tom Perriello’s brother after a conservative activist posted the address online, mistakenly thinking it was the congressman’s house. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating.

“All threats and incidents directed against members of Congress are taken seriously and are being investigated to identify and bring to justice those responsible,” said FBI spokesman Paul Bresson.

I am utterly appalled by this development, and I hope something is done, and people calm their asses down, because we are going to keep on rocking in a free world, where everyone is entitled (and even required) to have health care. It’s not about communist/socialist models, or losing our freedom as American citizens. It’s about ensuring that each and every person gets the treatment and the care that they deserve no matter what their financial circumstances are. That’s just, that’s fair and thank GOD it’s about to be the law!
