I’m not sure it’s hyperbole any more to say that we’ve now got a small scale domestic terror campaign going on against members of Congress who voted for Health Care Reform.

We already noted the handful of incidents over the weekend in the offices of Democratic members of Congress had their offices vandalized in response to their votes in favor of Reform. While that was happening, a Tea Partier in Virginia suggested people “drop by” the home of Rep. Tom Perriello. But they mistakenly provided the address of Periello’s brother.

Now the FBI is investigating an incident in which someone apparently cut the gas line into Perriello’s brother’s home, thinking it was the congressman’s residence.
