Thank you Bill O'Reilly, Thank you Neil Boortz

This might make us pause the next time we chuckle at talking head talk show hosts like O'Rielly, Boortz, and i'm sure their are left wing ones... (but they aren't as popular so I don't know their names) who use invective and condecencions. Its not funny... people who are angry for legitimate reasons, and lack education on many complex issues--will take their anger out on others in sometimes dangerous and definately unporductive ways.

As chairman for the Democrats in Henry I have actively reached out to Republican leaders and told them my focus is on policy not people and that if there ever see myself or others out in public representing the Democratic party who get out of line and turn to mud/invective to please call me and tell me.

This stuff matters... those discussing the issues... escpecially those on radio should be leaders. Its time for everyone to hold them accountable for that trash. You are what you say... you are what you do...

Phone message warns Sierra Club 'bullets are coming' (AJC)

The Sierra Club might have made an enemy in Early County.
Staffers for the environmental organization's chapter in Atlanta reported to police that someone left a threatening message on its voicemail, presumably because the Sierra Club won a lawsuit that prevented the building of a power plant in the poverty-stricken county desperately in need of jobs.

"We need those jobs," the anonymous caller said. "You (expletive) communists have screwed us for the last time. You better have eyes in the back of your head because the bullets are coming."

The call came in on July 4 — four days after the Sierra Club and other environmental groups won a lawsuit in Fulton County that prevented the coal-burning plant from being built, charging that it would emit up to 9 million tons of carbon dioxide a year.

The plant would have brought millions in tax revenues and more than 100 high-paying jobs to the county, which is in Georgia's southwestern corner and ranks as the state's sixth poorest.

A Sierra Club staffer reported the incident to police July 8. A police report describes the caller as a white man, possibly 30 years old or older, with a Southern accent.

Atlanta police advised the Sierra Club to save the threatening message and contact its phone service provider to trace the call, the report said.
When reached by phone Friday afternoon, Patty Durand, director of the Georgia chapter of the Sierra Club, declined to comment.
