Unions Receive Increasingly Scary Threats Of Violence For Town Hall Participation - Democratic Underground:

"Union officials continued to receive a barrage of threats on Friday evening and into Saturday punctuated by warnings that if organizers were sent to counter-demonstrate at health care town halls they would be met with violence.

An official with the AFL-CIO, a federation of labor organizations, passed on what he described as a 'pretty direct threat' to those union hands who were showing up to balance out anti-Obama demonstrations being waged at local Democratic forums.

'I will be going to a local town hall this weekend, all you union members BEWARE!' an emailer wrote at 9:40 Saturday morning. 'We will be waiting for you. better make sure you have arrangements with your local ER. today is the day when the goon meets the gun. see you there.'"
