One -- both sides may have their share of nuts, but LIBERALS DON'T RUN THEIR KOOKS FOR HIGH OFFICE! Can't say that about the right-whingers, can you?

Two -- the 'death threats' are attested to by the one person. Did he report them to the police? Did he take them any seriously? Were they specific or generalized (sort of like the ones you see on teagagger signs).

Three -- With the extreme divisions being fostered by the right, and actual physical attacks by their supporters (see examples like the Knoxville church attack, the two who were aiming for the ACLU in LA when stopped by Highway Patrol members -- whom they shot, and that guy who was afraid that 'Obama was going to take his guns,' so he shot two cops), it's not surprising that someone should run his mouth too much. But if he were a Republican, they'd be running him for office right now, and you know it. (See point One).
