Feds Investigate Death Threats to IRS Employees After Health Bill Approval
By Jana Winter - FOXNews.com

The health care law has sparked protests on radical anti-tax and anti-government Web sites and within their private, password-protected e-mail lists and message boards.

The federal government is investigating dozens of death threats to IRS employees that have been posted online since the House passed the health care bill, FoxNews.com has learned.

The health care law has sparked protests on radical anti-tax and anti-government Web sites and within their private, password-protected e-mail lists and message boards. Some writers have labeled March 21 -- the day the House passed the bill – "Bloody Sunday," and they see it as a call to violent action against IRS workers.

In the days following the House vote, animosity toward the IRS intensified, and many heated online protests included specific discussions about the best way to go about killing tax agents.

Hundreds of comments were posted in response to an incendiary story on infowars.com, the radical far-right Web site owned by radio host Alex Jones. The story, entitled, "The Cost Of Defying Obamacare: $2,250 a Month And IRS Goons Pointing Guns At Your Family," focused on the “increasing militarization of the IRSâ€

While these threats are being investigated, experts doubt there is much that law enforcement can do to predict if any of these commenters actually plan on taking action. The only thing certain is that the online community of anti-government extremists is growing, and it is increasingly being viewed by law enforcement as a threat.

"I've never seen anything like this before," said MacNab. “The health care bill could very well be the tipping point."

So, people, considering how the federal government is thinking, it might be wise to put away (meaning scrape off) any political, anti-Obama, anti-leftist bumper stickers you might have. Getting stopped could mean a trigger happy, nervous cop. We all know that the federal government and liberal media are going to whip this all up enough to have cops nervous about getting the so called "right wing extremists" at a stop and being sure the feds were right, we're all dangerous..........

BTW, this dangerous right wing extremist has to go make her roasted chicken and apple cobbler .

Congress and the President passed the Health Care Bill,
so why are people threatening the working people employed by the I.R.S. ?

I'd have to say IF it is happening, then it is very few (in comparison to all the angry Americans), but the fed, in conjunction with other stories, and the accussations against Tea Partiers in DC, are blowing it up completely.

What is that saying? "Wag the dog"?

Hey...HR 3590 section 4359 says that I get some O that chicken...

But you would think that McVaigh and that new guy that flew his plane into the IRS building would be a clue as to what the country is thinking and feeling.
