3. Sad to say, I've been expecting this. But, I'm still more concerned about the death threats

5. I have heard absolutely NOTHING about any protection for her.

That both scares and angers me.

Now that I know who she is, I want to hear her beautiful voice for many years to come!

6. I saw first hand the right wing nuts threatening Cindy Sheehan

They really are violent and dangerous. I also fear for Mrs. Sherrod.

7. WTF?! The only alternative is to kill anyone who disagrees with you?!

Sharon Angle started the ball rolling, and it's only gotten worse... x(

"What kind of twisted person would threaten someone who speaks out on behalf of the needy," Grayson said. "What kind of twisted person would threaten to kill someone."

"Code Blue! Clear!" *bzzt*
