Right Wing Terrorism Watch - Guest on Fox Channel receives death threat after slamming Republicans
A liberal Fox News regular received a death threat and a slew of hate mail after calling Republicans a "one trick dog" on Fox Business Channel Tuesday.

Mike Papantonio, an Air America talk show host and defense attorney, lambasted Republicans who've come out in opposition to President Barack Obama's economic stimulus plan.

"You know what the problem is?" Papantonio declared. "The American people know that the Republicans have no ideas. They're like dinosaurs. They have one talking point. You know what it is, Stuart? It's the same thing I hear you say on this show. Cut taxes and deregulate. You're a one -- Republicans are a one-trick dog." At another point, he called Republicans "boneheads."

This didn't sit well with listeners to the upstart business channel. Ironically, those who appeared to be most upset with Papantonio's name-calling, resorted to attacks themselves -- only far more extreme. One even wished Papantonio dead.

1. Thus proving Papantonio wrong
See Mike? They don't have just one idea, they have two! Cut taxes and deregulate (which is sort of two, but we'll call it one), and agree with us or we'll kill you. So that makes two ideas right there. I'm guessing that most Republican boneheads could say "Fire good," so that could be counted as three ideas. Three!

Sure put him in his place, you mouth-breathing troglodyte Faux watchers! Good job.

2. Thank ck4829 you for the posts on this topic
Right Wing Terrorism is the greatest threat that this country faces. The average american is thousands of times more likely to be the victim of a right wing terrorist attack than one sponsored by any foriegn group. I also think it is likely that these threats will become more common now that we have more control in washington.

Keep up the good work !

3. You are welcome, TWiley
What I think you said is 100% true, our government needs to focus on right wing extremists as much as it does on foreign terrorists.
