So when do the criminal charges begin?

The wingnuts are never satisfied, are they?

Even though the new health care law includes the insurance industry bailout that they supported, it's not enough for them. Now they're trying to kill members of Congress who supported the overall bill.

In Virginia, Lynchburg Tea Party organizer Mike Troxel wrote a blog post urging people to "drop by" the home of Democratic Rep. Tom Perriello. But he stupidly posted not Perriello's address, but that of his brother.

Following this incitement, someone cut the propane gas line at Perriello's brother's house - in an attempt to blow up the house.

Federal investigators are now probing the attack. But when are the criminal charges coming?

Sadly, this act is the latest in a long pattern of right-wing domestic terrorism that's gone on for nearly 20 years. You can see it in the deadly righist kook-outs of the 1990s, the arson of antiwar activists' homes in the 2000s (as in another Virginia incident), and other displays.
