I don't usually link the Huffington Post, so forgive me...but this high placed GOP spokesman goes too far.

Waaaay to far.

I Think DU, en masse, needs to write this guy's boss a letter or an email, and demand he joins the ranks of the unemployed.

CONGRESSwoman NAN HAYWORTH (R-NY)
WASHINGTON D.C.
1440 Longworth HOB
Washington, DC 20515

1. His boss, the Congresswoman's address, phone and

WASHINGTON D.C.
1440 Longworth HOB
Washington, DC 20515
[phone]

She says she does not answer emails from people outside of her zipcode. Hmmmm...I thought Congresspeeps represented all American people? Their paychecks are not paid for by their states--they are Federal Employees. You'd think she could respect that a little bit better.

17. there's an easy way to get around that...........

find the address of the representatives offices in the district & use that or one close to it when you fill out the contact information. Works for me, as a matter of fact I get emails from one Floridian on a constant basis.

BTW, I just left a message on the reps office phone.

2. The true colors of these pigs become clearer every day.

Beyond disgusting. Someone should buy this dickbrain a one-way ticket to Pakistan.

[DonRedwood]

6. I don't think the women of Pakistan would appreciate that very much

I'm just shocked that he thought he could get away with saying that! I'm even surprised that she didn't fire him immediately.

[Fumesucker]

3. Sooner or later they say what they *really* want to do..

American Taliban.

[lpbk2713]

4. Thiis should be treated as a crime.

Some of the mouth breathing idiots on their side might take this as a call for action and follow through with it.

[DonRedwood]

7. Why isn't it a crime to call people to harm elected officials?

Or is it?

[MineralMan]

19. It is a federal crime to threaten a Senator or Member of Congress.

In fact, inciting to throw acid on such a person is a terroristic threat.

[sudopod]

5. I wonder how this would have been taken if he were in Yemen

and his name started with something like "al" or "ibn"?

[BumRushDaShow]

8. Making terroristic threats. n/t

GOP Congresswoman’s Spokesman: ‘Hurl Some Acid At Those Female Democratic Senators’

Jay Townsend, a campaign spokesman for Republican Rep. Nan Hayworth, made an aggressive comment in a Facebook discussion that originally was critical of Hayworth on the issue of gas prices. Townsend drew strong criticism from one of Hayworth’s Democratic challengers.

-snip-

Townsend’s comment, in response to another commenter, Tom, read:

Listen to Tom. What a little bee he has in his bonnet. Buzz Buzz. My question today…when is Tommy boy going to weigh in on all the Lilly Ledbetter hypocrites who claim to be fighting the War on Women? Let’s hurl some acid at those female democratic Senators who won’t abide the mandates they want to impose on the private sector. http://freebeacon.com/senate-dems-betray-lilly/

Another comment on the post, under the page’s account, addressed Townsend:

?Jay Townsend – as an official and paid employee of the Hayworth Re-Election Campaign, please refrain from calling our members names. If you keep that up, I will have to remove you from the page. Also, I can’t believe Congresswoman Hayworth would want you posting such un-referenced nonsense to this page. Does she know you are doing this or have you gone rogue?

[DonRedwood]

10. much better than my link :0) thanks!

[mainer]

11. Now I want to donate to the opponent

But it's a multi-candidate primary. Any suggestions as to which Dem candidate has the best chance?

[ManyShadesOf]

12. here hear

aren't there regs on this since the anthrax attacks, Geffords shooting, etc?

[tallahasseedem]

13. Thank you for posting this...

This is truly disgusting. He should be fired...immediately!

[DonRedwood]

16. I'm wondering if he will claim he was hacked

he's either fired or they except his lame excuses. I wonder what they will be?

[LiberalAndProud]

14. I wonder.

I'll be interested to see how long Jay Townsend keeps his job. Will Hayworth do the right thing, or look away?

[whathehell]

15. OMG...That's really unbelievable...He's GOT to be penalized for this.

Effing Violent nutcases!

[MineralMan]

18. I posted a comment in that Facebook thread, under my real name.

This cannot stand.

[DonRedwood]

20. No, it cannot.

Silence, in a case like this, is condoning the behavior.

[Brigid]

21. This guy needs to be fired.

Immediately. And then prosecuted for making terroristic threats against public officials.

[hatrack]

22. Now, now . . . he'll "apologize" if "anyone was offended" . . .

Or maybe like Newtie, he'll just horcch up some chest-thumping bullshit about how he "got carried away" or just "loves his country so much" blahblahblah

[GoneOffShore]

23. Facebook this, Tweet this and spread it far and wide.

No war on women?

Really?

Schmucks.
