I just heard this outrageous and disturbing piece on the morning news. The Buffalo News has the story violence in the lead-up to this weekends Health Care vote:
Brick thrown through window in Slaughter's Falls office
NIAGARA FALLS — The "Slaughter Solution" on health care isn't the only thing that has come under attack in U.S. Rep. Louise M. Slaughter's world this week. Sometime early this morning, someone threw a brick through the front window of her Pine Avenue office.
::
The brick put a hole in the outer-most window at the office at 1910 Pine Ave., but did not damage a second interior window, police reported. A piece of broken brick believed to have caused the damage was found at the scene.
It was right-wing talk radio hosts who distorted her role by framing reconciliation as the "Slaugher Solution" as the vote approached. The same hosts who many Tea Partiers cite as the inspiration for their movement. It was a Tea Party listener, I guarantee who did this.
I fear this is only the beginning. Vandalism is violence...I expect this will get worse.
I hope I’m wrong.
