Double Standards for Detah Threats

I am absolutely stunned and appalled at the death threats toward elected officials in Wisconsin.  Here are just two examples from the last couple of days.

An excerpt from an email sent to several Republican Senators in Wisconsin reads:
Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your families will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks. Please explain to them that this is because if we get rid of you and your families then it will save the rights of 300,000 people and also be able to close the deficit that you have created. I hope you have a good time in hell.
Another reads:
 Mr. Fitzgerald,
I want to make this perfectly clear. Because of your actions today and in the past couple of weeks I and the group of people that are working with me have decided that we’ve had enough. We feel that you and your republican dictators have to die. This is how it’s going to happen: I as well as many others know where you and your family live, it’s a matter of public records. We have all planned to assult you by arriving at your house and putting a nice little bullet in your head. However, this isn’t enough. We also have decided that this may not be enough to send the message. So we have built several bombs that we have placed in various locations around the areas in which we know that you frequent. This includes, your house, your car, the state capitol, and well I won’t tell you all of them because that’s just no fun.
Following the shooting of Arizona Representative Gabrielle Giffords and several others, several liberal political commentators and politicians quickly laid blame for them at the feet of conservative political figure Governor Sarah alin and others.  President Obama and others called for a more civil discourse.  It was as if conservatives actually caused this deranged man to commit this violent act.

Yet, here we have actual threats against conservatives and the liberals remain silent on the matter.  There is no more certain threat than what appears in these email messages.  There is no possible comparison between these emails and anything a conservative said that could have instigated the shootings in Arizona.

It is well past time for liberals and their cohorts in many parts of the media, print and electronic, to admit the hypocracy of their words and actions. 

Do this simple test.  Perform an internet search on any of the available search sites for the words 'condemn death threats'.  You will find several links to stories relating President Obama's condemnation of a recent political assasination in Pakistan, but nothing about these emailed threats.  Why is that?
