In an article credited to “Tribune Washington Bureau, The Associated Press, McClatchy Newspapers, Cox News Service, Bloomberg News, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post,” the Seattle Times claimed that a protester threw a rock through the window of phony pro-life Democrat Steve Driehaus’ Cincinnati office.
Protesters have been demonstrating at Driehaus’ Ohio home, said Tim Mulvey, a spokesman for the anti-abortion Democrat who joined Stupak in voting for the health bill. A rock was thrown through the window of Driehaus’ Cincinnati office Sunday, and a death threat was phoned in to his Washington office a day later, Mulvey said.
I’ll bet that bit came from McClatchy. As noted by Professor Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit, Driehaus’ Cincinnati office is on the 30th floor of the city’s Carew Tower.
That’s some toss.
Apparently, it’s all because of “coded rhetoric” according to Democrat Louise Slaughter, whose name is a code word for See You Next Tuesday, which are code words for a part of the female anatomy.
Slaughter said Republican leaders appeared “to be fanning the flames with coded rhetoric.”
She cited a National Review Online article in which Boehner was quoted as saying that Ohio Democrat Steve Driehaus might be a “dead man” politically in his congressional district.
The article, published on March 18, said Boehner predicted political consequences for anti-abortion Democrats who vote to approve the bill.
Referring to Driehaus, Boehner was quoted as saying, “He may be a dead man. He can’t go home to the west side of Cincinnati. The Catholics will run him out of town.”
Boehner spokesman Don Seymour said the Republican leader “does not condone violence and his remark was obviously not meant to be taken literally.”
