Here’s a great idea: Post video threats to a congressman and his family online. That’s what Norman LeBoon did in March 2010. His videotaped rant went like this:

“My Congressman Eric Cantor, and you and your cupcake evil wife . . . Remember Eric, our judgment time, the final Yom Kippur has been given. You are a liar, you’re a Lucifer, you’re a pig, a greedy f— pig, you’re an abomination, you receive my bullets in your office, remember they will be placed in your heads. You and your children are Lucifer’s abominations.”

He was sentenced to two years in prison today, followed by three years of supervised release.
