Republican
Resigns
Cites
threats from Teabaggers
Turns out he's Black
Just hours after Jared Loughner
launched a shooting spree at Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ)
Legislative District chairman Anthony Miller, a Republican, said that
he would resign his position.
In an email to the state’s GOP chair, Miller cited “constant verbal
attacks” after his election last year
“and Internet blog posts by some locals with Tea Party ties made him
worry about his family’s safety.”
Many of his Republican colleagues followed him out the door:
In an e-mail sent a few hours after
Saturday’s massacre in Tucso, Miller told state GOP Chairman
Randy Pullen he was quitting: “Today my wife of 20 yrs asked me
to. I think that my
Precinct
Committee
members will shoot at our home? So with this being
said I am stepping down from
LD20GOP Chairman…I will make a full statement on Monday.”
The newly-elected Dist. 20 Republican secretary, Sophia Johnson, first vice chairman Roger Dickinson
and Jeff Kolb, the former
district spokesman, also quit. “This singular focus on ‘getting’
Anthony (Miller)
was one of the main reasons I chose to resign,” Kolb said in an e-mail.
Kolb confirmed the e-mail.
Are they in a position to leash their rabid dogs?
Or have the rabid dogs taken over?
Bitch, Boner - you could be next on their list.
