Tommy Thompson Threatens to Make Recall Campaigners 'Black and Blue'

Sure, former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson was being clever - playing off the 'blue state' idea that Wisconsin progressives are trying to promote.  But saying that we are going to be 'black and blue' when 'they get done with us' is not really that funny considering the many threats and assaults that have taken place against recall workers over the past few months.  In Arkansas yesterday, a Democratic campaign manager had his family cat brutally murdered, with the word, "Liberal," scrawled into the animal's side.  This is not to say that we on the left have not used violence or threats to achieve political ends - but not any of our leaders, and not during the recall.  Please consider signing the petition to get Tommy Thompson to apologize for his threat here:  http://grassroots.wisdems.org/page/s/black-and-blue
