Police to Increase McCaskill Security After Tea Party Comment
The move follows the “We have to kill the Claire Bear" statement at a Tea Party Express event.
Comments made during a Tea Party Express Event on May 3 against Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) triggered U.S. Capitol Police to contact the Kirkwood Police Department to increase the senator's security, Politico reports.
According to POLITICO, local police have been asked to step up patrols near McCaskill's home in Kirkwood after Scott Boston, a conservative activist, made a statement during the event in which he said, "We have to kill the Claire Bear..."

St. Louis Post-Dispatch Washington Bureau Chief Bill Bill Lambrecht tweeted Wednesday that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is going forward with an anti-McCaskill ad buy, "calling her most vulnerable Dem incumbent."

So its ok for some teaturd to have the opinion that Sen. McCaskill has to be killed?? You teabags are ruining this country and destroying any valuable national discourse with this inflammatory crap. It just shows the increasing desperation of a minority of Americans (either wealthy or unwitting servants of the wealthy) that can see their views are not in the majority, and never will be. People are waking up to the anti abortion crap, the evangelistic crap, and the 1% crap. Oh, and the gun crap. What else is there for the teaturds? They are getting desperate. They no longer can vote out the people they don't like, they have to threaten to kill them. Sad state of affairs for the party of Lincoln.

Agree the "kill" comment was uncalled for - that kind of rhetoric drowns out the real message. The tea party are servants to none - rich included. Since when does being in the majority make you right? Typically it is quite the opposite. Anti-abortion "crap"? We believe our government should be held to support the God given rights of "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". Abortion is murder of a human life - there is no argument here. "Pro Choicers" can try to justify these murders for any number of reasons, but it is murder nonetheless, lets be clear about that. Gun "crap"? When the stormtroopers kick in your door to confiscate your gold coins, stockpile of food, and cash, don't call your armed neighbor. Oh wait, you won't be prepared for the totalitarian oppression, you don't support rights to life, or self-defense, but you'll be the first to scream for mercy, loot, rob, and kill when the sh&t hits the fan. What is a sad state of affairs is that America is inhabited by a "majority" of history ignorant, materialistic, perverted fools. We're fighting for our rights - mine and yours, so want it or not, "your welcome a$$hole!"

Of course the mental Leftists are always hyper-sensitive to ANY perceived threat...no matter how innocuous..but of course...the same standard is never held to the Left who routinely called for Bush to be killed...even "fantasizing about it in video. And lets not forget the standard vitriol attacks for Gov. Walker over the cry-baby unions having to pay a fraction of their own healthcare and no longer being able to FORCE workers to join them. Funny how union membership tanked when the employees actually were FREE to choose. So the Left can whine and cry and act shocked every time a conservative says something "mean" about the Left and how they have destroyed our country in less than 4 years MUCH more effectively than Bush did in 8....I'll bring the tissues...
