President Obama's speech on American Energy in Mount Holly, NC (VIDEO)

I noticed two things:

One, when the President introduced Heath Shuler, the applause...was a little muted.

Now they know how we Redskins fans felt.

Two, the Dukies got booed, a lot when he mentioned them.

This from the woman who thinks "Tarbaby" is a proper noun, and not an racial epithet.

TPM: ...and now they're resorting to death threats.

It's very simple, Tea-Baggers. You want to show up at a Town Hall and throw your Congressman some really pointed (but respectful) questions? Be my guest. In fact, I encourage that kind of behavior...

...but that's not good enough, is it? First, there was Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT), now we have Rep. Brad Miller (D-NC).

Rep. Brad Miller (D-NC) will not be hosting any town hall events this August -- instead, he's making himself available to constituents for one-on-one meetings about health care reform -- and at least part of the reason is this: His offices have received threatening phone calls, including at least one direct threat against his life.

"We had no town hall events scheduled for the August recess anyway, but in light of everything that's happened -- we have received a threatening phone call in the D.C. office, there have been calls to the Raleigh office," said Miller communications director LuAnn Canipe, in an interview with TPM.

"The call to the D.C. office was, 'Miller could lose his life over this,'" said Canipe. "Our staffer took it so seriously, he confirmed what the guy was saying. He said, 'Sir is that a threat?" and at that time our staffer was getting the phone number off caller ID and turning it over to the Capitol Police."

Canipe explained that Miller had no plans for a town hall before and won't be holding any now, due to this event and the examples he's already seem from the around the country: "Our point is, we're not gonna be bullied into having a town hall so it can then be interrupted by the fake grassroots folks."

"We don't want to people to think we're shutting out our constituents," Canipe added.. "We're meeting with them one on one to discuss health care reform."
