Rep. Davis Receives Threatening Email
"Danny Davis is next" threatening email reportedly warns

Updated 8:15 PM CST, Sun, Jan 9, 2011

Illinois Congressman Danny Davis on Sunday said his office received a threatening email.

According to Davis' office, the threat said, in effect, "Danny Davis is next," presumably referring to Saturday's shooting in Tucson, Ariz. that critically wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed six others.

Davis' office said it has notified authorities about the threatening email. The congressman is in Springfield in advance of Monday's inaugural festivities.

Several Illinois politicians have decried Saturday's shooting and have offered up their prayers and sympathies.

1. If this is a joke there will be hell to pay.
If it's not a joke, there will be insurmountable hell to pay.

4. As I keep saying this has all the marks of
leaderless resistance. Yes, cells in effect.

5. Thank you for bringing this "cell" concept to our attention, Nadin.
I appreciate your posts.

It started with the ones on hormone problems and weight loss.

6. It is not a concept most people are familiar with
in the US... but it is critical... at this point if the FBI is not going there, they are NOT doing their job.

12. It is a concept some Christian churches are quite familiar with:

Cell churches are often autonomous, closed communities. There is a hierarchy within the church but no formal affiliation with an established denomination. However, they may work with other churches on social issues (abortion for the conservatives, maybe stopping mountain-top removal for socially liberal cell churches). Many of these militia groups seem to think they're rooted in Christianity. :eyes: I'd known about the types of cells you're speaking of, of course, but I've never before considered how the two types of cells might be informing and shaping each other. :(

I thought from the start that Loughner's videos sounded like a dog-whistle of some kind, aimed at a specific, "literate" (his word, not mine) audience. I agree it might have been a cell activation call.

*Edited for grammar.

9. And bank on this

Expect a Republican to get some sort of 'threat' within the next 2 or 3 days.

Remember when Dem offices were being vandalized all across the nation last year? Eric Cantor came out and said someone shot his office. I think that was proven to be bullshit, but still...

I guarantee the Republicans will keep the propaganda parade going.
