MANCHESTER -- The New Hampshire businessman who appears in a Mitt Romney television ad accusing President Barack Obama of “demonizing” small business owners has gone to his local police after receiving two “harassing” telephone calls and, he says, hundreds of nasty emails.
“It's frightening to me,” said Jack Gilchrist of Gilchrist Metal Fabricating of Hudson, who also said Thursday he received hundreds of supportive emails as well.

One called him a “vile piece of (expletive),” among other things, and demanded he call Obama to apologize.
The
caller was identified by Gilchrist through his caller ID. The man
called from area code 630, which is the Chicago area. He has posted
anti-Republican and anti-conservative messages on Twitter in the past,
including a 2009 posts that said, “GOP needs to be eliminated,” and, “I
am prepared to kill people. Let the tea bagers fire the first shot and I
will pile up the bodies of the traitors.”
The other caller, to
Gilchrist's associate, names Gilchrist and calls him “a (expletive)
liar,” a “(expletive) Republican piece of (expletive),” and told him to
“burn in hell.”
Gilchrist said that between the emails and the
calls, “I have to believe that this is an orchestrated effort. There are
quite a few coincidences.”
He said the callers “don't understand that the $800,000 was a municipal bond. I paid it back.

Expect this hard working American citizen to be audited by the IRS and investigated by the departments of labor and justice any day now.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I sent an email to Mr. Gilchrist in support of his endeavors. Seems I'd be right comfortable in his shop as I do almost the same kind of work (except the laser, we haven't got one of those yet). Nothing but the utmost respect for anyone that can not only make a living doing something they love but also provide others a living at the same time. To Mr. Gilchrist and you, Pissed, thank you for making this country great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Da-Truth :)
