Fox News contributor Steven Crowder puts wife under armed guard as threats pour in Posted at 8:00 am on December 14, 2012 by Twitchy Staff \| View Comments Steven Crowder?@scrowder Right now I have a former police officer, heavily armed at my house protecting my wife. The threats are severe. Prayers appreciated. 13 Dec 12 Reply Retweet Favorite Fox News contributor Steven Crowder was viciously assaulted and threatened with murder in Michigan on Tuesday as a mob of knife-wielding union thugs slashed an Americans for Prosperity tent to pieces. Since then, the Left has engaged in a despicable victim-blaming campaign while media lapdogs have ignored the union violence or tried to discredit Crowder with falsehoods. A Michigan Dem promised “ there will be blood,” and evidently the bloodlust wasn’t sated on Tuesday. Threats have grown so severe that Crowder says he’s brought in an armed guard to protect his wife. What say you, progressives? You stand with evil Koch brothers making up lies, assauting people and cry when you get death threats awww hope you die soon whore

We all know they don't believe in democracy but I think the beauty school dropout may be pushing things. 'It comes down to, what does a term mean?' By Steve Benen - Fri Dec 14, 2012 10:43 AM EST Getty Images Can Arizona Governor Jan Brewer (R) for re-election? It's a straightforward question with a seemingly obvious answer, but a controversy is unfolding nevertheless. The 68-year-old Republican is weighing a bid for four more years in office even though a voter-approved 1992 constitutional amendment limits the state's top officials to two consecutive terms, including "any part" of one served. Brewer was elected in 2010 after completing the remaining two years of Democrat Janet Napolitano's term. "I haven't ruled anything out," Brewer said yesterday after a ceremonial bill-signing in Peoria, Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix. At least in theory, the decision isn't entirely hers to make -- the law limits governors to two terms, including "any part" of one term. Brewer became governor in early 2009, succeeding Janet Napolitano, and serving the final two years of Napolitano's term. Then Brewer won a full term of her own. One and one is two, and the law doesn't seem to leave a lot of wiggle room. "The constitution is quite clear," Paul Bender, Arizona State University law professor told Bloomberg Businessweek. "She cannot run again, and I don't think there is any real significant doubt about it." And yet, Brewer hasn't "ruled anything out," and her lawyer, Joe Kanefield, insists there are subtle ambiguities in the law that offers her the opportunity to run for a third term. "It comes down to, what does a term mean?" Kanefield said. If Brewer decides to test the law, the matter will almost certainly end up before the Arizona Supreme Court. The governor will not enjoy the support of Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, the state's second-highest ranking Republican, who wants Brewer's job, and insists the governor is no longer eligible to run for re-election.
