Most people know it is not unusual for elected officials to receive death threats etc. Gifford was no exception. She'd had her office vandalized etc. She lives in AZ and supports securing the border. I heard that she was always concerned about her safety but even more the safety of her staff. I understood perfectly what you meant.
Of course people know that elected officials get threats.. hell public figures in general.. you seen the threats by teenage girls against Selena Gomez because she is shacking up with Justin Bieber?
Point is that MrVicchio did not state "elected" officials, but government officials. And like it or not there is a huge difference. And he has yet to accept that he ****ed up in not narrowlingly defining his comments to only elected officials .. heck top level elected officials.
And even then, I do not think any elected low level politician, judge or similar should expect to be targeted for attack and accept this on the day they start office... nor that better that it is "them" than someone else that get killed.. it is nothing but justifying in part the terrorist act's against our elected officials because of a hatred towards anything "government".
