Via LeftWord, Arizona GOP Leader Anthony Miller resigns after getting death threats from Tea Bagger Brownshirts.  Remember them protesting too much about complaints of Tea Bag racism?

“I wasn’t going to resign but decided to quit after what happened Saturday,” Miller told The Huffington Post Wednesday. “I love the Republican Party but I don’t want to take a bullet for anyone.”

Miller, who is black, said a number of the attacks were racially based. At an event in Lake Havasu City, Ariz., Miller told The Huffington Post that someone called out, “There’s Anthony, get a rope.”

Sign of the times that this story got so little play.  Meanwhile, Jon Stewart’s Rally to Restore Sanity already a dim memory, Mark DeMoss officially disbands Civility Project in the face of Tea Bag nastiness.   The Reactionaries seem remarkably unrepentant and unwilling to tone down the hate talk, so I’m wondering where the next Reactionary assassination/spree killing will be.

Happy to see this reactionary terrorist convicted of murder, but unclear why he doesn’t get the death penalty – they still have that in Kansas, don’t they?  I’m normally opposed, but my litmus test is – would I volunteer to execute?  Hand me the syringe!
