“One person suggested that City Councilman Tom Rawles be taken out back and beaten. Another said someone should put a bullet in his head, and a third that he should be buried in the cement his construction company uses. Rawles began getting the threats last month after he started refusing to recite or stand for the Pledge of Allegiance during council meetings to protest the war in Iraq.”They probably should give Joann Stewart, who is not offended by Rawles' protest, a good whupin too. “I personally would never have picked that way to protest because that's the flag of the United States of America, and I honor that,. .. . But the main concern is what's going on with the war," Stewart said. A good old fashioned Islamic caning ought to get her back to seeing red, white & blue.
