FreedomWorks is a conservative group that has been around for a pretty long time.
Apparently leftists are taking to heart the press articles that claim FreedomWorks is a leader or funder of the ‘tea party’ and thus have been egged on enough to attack FW with profanity-laced phone calls and death threats, including the mention of the use of weapons.
No matter how you view FreedomWorks, they don’t deserve any of this media-inspired violence from the socialism-loving crowd.
Politics US News reports “FreedomWorks provided some of the recordings of the threatening calls to Whispers and they include physical threats and profanity aimed at the group, Tea Party spokesmen and even conservative talkers. “You guys better watch it,” says one caller. “Now, we are going to destroy and obliterate Rush [Limbaugh] and Sean Hannity,” said another. “Those two guys are dead.”
Once again we blame the rhetoric in the press that is so obsessed with the tea party, who might its leaders be, who might be ‘funding’ it, (hint: there is no funding) and so forth, ginning up the people who then dare to make these terrible threats. These haters don’t want you to have freedom of speech as we learned early on in NH when Soros-funded groups sought to smear NHTPC with bogus press releases and possible infiltration of events with antics designed to make us look less than savory.
