U.S. Capitol Police said Thursday that officers are investigating a reported threat against Rep. Todd Akin, the Missouri congressman who has been criticized for comments he recently made about rape.[snip]
Several threats have been made against the congressman, his family and staff since the interview aired, Akin spokesman Steve Taylor said. Taylor said threats of rape and other violence have been aimed at Akin through phone calls, emails and tweets.
is it too cynical of me to think it's a clandestine, GOP-backed effort to get him out of the race?also, how hard is it for capitol police to track threats from email and twitter accounts?? don't the accounts have some sort of ISP address??
