You knew it was coming. In the last 48 hours, Bart Stupak has become the latest congressman to receive threats against himself and his family.
"Congressman Stupak, you baby-killing mother f***er... I hope you bleed out your a**, got cancer and die, you mother f***er," one man says in a message to Stupak.
"There are millions of people across the country who wish you ill," a woman says in a voicemail, "and all of those thoughts that are projected on you will materialize into something that's not very good for you."
CBS News also obtained copies of faxes sent to Stupak, which include racial epithets used in reference to President Obama and show pictures of nooses with Stupak's name.
The Capitol Police and the FBI are investigating this and several other threats. Given the nature of these threats, I hope they throw the book at these idiots.

According to Stupak, a large number of the calls come from people who can't even vote for him.
The fight has taken a toll on his wife, who has disconnected the phone in their home to avoid harassment.
"All the phones are unplugged at our house — tired of the obscene calls and threats. She won’t watch TV," Stupak said during an hourlong interview with The Hill in his Rayburn office. "People saying they’re going to spit on you and all this. That’s just not fun."
Hope you're proud of yourselves, teabaggers. If your intent is to drive Stupak out of office and flip his seat, is it going to be worth it?
