Last night Rachel Maddow had a piece on violent action taken against members of Congress in the form of threats, escalating to several incidents of brick throwing at Democratic offices.  Simultaneously, right wing tea party activists posted the home addresses of members of Congress who voted for health-care reform, and today it was reported that Democratic Representative Tom Perriello from Virginia, had his brother's home gas line cut late last night.  There is now an FBI investigation into this incident which is being considered a threat against a member of Congress, and In case you're wondering, Mr. Perriello's home was one of the one's listed online, but it turned out that the home was actually his brother's.
