Second lawmaker receives threatening ‘Death to All Marxists’ fax with Obama’s picture on it.

Last week, The Hill reported that Rep. Brian Baird’s (D-WA) office had received a fax that depicted President Barack Obama as the Joker and warned of “Death to All Marxists! Foreign and Domestic!” The Secret Service has said that the fax was “potentially an investigative intelligence matter.” Now, a second member of Congress is reporting that he received the same fax. On CNN this morning, Rep. David Scott (D-GA) — whose office was recently vandalized with a swastika — held up a printout of the fax, adding that the picture of Obama he received had “the swastika on his forehead.”

Scott said that the fax also included racial slurs aimed at him and the statement “the Ethiopian cannot make himself white.”

3. Well hell, if someone is threatening the life of the president in an organized campaign
IMO it is a federal matter.

6. Wasn't it the right wing that demonized
Islam because of their propensity for hatred and violence?
