Death threats on Twitter?
There was a recent posting here on DU, that mentioned death threats via Twitter, against a union (SEIU?) that's very active in this Health Care discussion. I can't seem to find it though. Can anyone here help?

1. Here
This search yields the tweet as retweeted hundreds of times.

http://twitter.com/search?q=If%20ACORN/SEIU%20attends%20these%20meetings%20for%20disruptive%20purposes

This is the joker who posted it, but has since deleted it from his home page list

4. What a Fucking Asshole. Read this:
..

"There are probably myriad ways that I offended/worried readers, depending on the individual, that garners an apology from me."

Probably a wife beater and dog kicker.

3. Thnks to both of you!
I had briefly mentioned that Twitter "death threat" on a unionl-related listserve that I manage and contribute to. But being unable to locate the original source again, I was in an embarrassing spot. I was unable to verify that allegation, to what may have been some deeply skeptical people. I'm okay now! Once again, thanks.

5. What was said: "If... ...have a license to carry....carry."
"ScottEO If ACORN/SEIU attends these meetings for disruptive purposes, and you have a license to carry....carry."
