In a Tea Party-sponsored conference call held on Wednesday night, a participant called for the assassination of Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) over her support for immigration reform.

The most jarring and unexpected moment of the night was when the moderator opened up the phone lines to callers:

ANOTHER CALLER: Shoot her. [laughter]

MODERATOR: Yes, we will shoot her with…(inaudible) and phone calls.

Love the comments on the website.

Someone should get a log of the incoming phone calls, trace the # and report this idiot. Joking about gun violence is beyond stupid.

Tea party who?
