Predicted response from those with red avatars:

False equivalence.  Hintz a leftist Democrat, and unlike Republicans, leftists don't have a history of violence.   So he didn't really mean dead.  Unlike Sarah Palin, who wants to kill everyone with bulls-eye graphics.

Unions don't have a history of violence either, so suggesting someone who votes against the unions is "f***king dead" is harmless.  If it were evil, violent management, it would be a true threat.

Hintz is a FF for getting more than just a massage from his massage therapists.

Yes.  Read the article.  And no, a sitting legislator who breaks the laws he is responsible for writing isn't a FF.  He is a hypocrite.

Uh no. That's like saying if a Republican legislator votes against stricter gun laws and is then arrested for violating them he's a hypocrite. It's only hypocritical if you vote for and support those laws.

Sounds like the guy himself might have issues, and of course it's unacceptable and stupid.

Why does someone like Cinyc think I would respond any differently?
