WASHINGTON — The FBI and U.S. Capitol Police have had their hands full since the passage of the controversial health care bill.

The Detroit News Washington bureau reports that the agencies are looking into threats against at least 10 Democratic lawmakers. Included among the targets is Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mi), the anti-abortion lawmaker.

The paper reports that “bricks have been hurled through Democrats’ windows, a propane line was cut at the home of a congressman’s brother, and threatening voice mails and faxes have been sent to some Democratic lawmakers.”

Stupak has gotten threatening phone calls and a drawing of a noose, via fax, with a noose on a platform and the words “Bart (SS) Stupak”, the paper reported.

One man left a message calling him a “baby killer” and said he hoped he died of cancer, the paper reported.
