Jere Brower, his wife Clara, and his 4-year-old daughter Ana, have a very good reason to believe Texas Congressman Ron Paul when he said people view his supporters as “dangerous.”

The 38-year-old Atlanta man and his family have been targeted by militant Ron Paul supporters, one of whom threatened to “kneecap” him, then rape his wife and young daughter. Mr. Brower said he has also received death threats from supporters of Ron Paul.

The trouble started when Brower and some of his Facebook friends decided to have a laugh over Ron Paul’s ties to racist and anti-semitic groups.

He wrote a post on Facebook intended to be a joke, but some Paul supporters took it seriously – too seriously.

…

Brower said that he received a number of threatening emails and messages from angry Ron Paul supporters before adjusting the settings on his phone so as not to receive any more messages.

One of the messages read:

You are a f*****g idiot a*****e. TO stoop as low as I see you are willing is enough to gag a maggot. Keep up the s**t and drive this country into a civil war you f*****g moron piece of human trash. How about I come on over. Maybe, I will start by kneecapping you with my HK 45. Then, while you wither in pain, I will give your wife the best f*****g she ever had. I will treat her nice. Then, maybe your daughter needs to become a real woman. How would you like that. It is not too hard to find out where you live you neocon f**kwad.

Brower then filed a complaint with the DeKalb County Police, and said he contacted the FBI.

No one was availble for comment at the DeKalb County Police Department as of this writing.

Brower, a retired Army Captain who served four tours in Iraq, said there was a time he seriously considered supporting Ron Paul.

“I took a good hard look at Ron Paul,” he said, but after hearing racist messages and witnessing disrespectful behavior at gatherings of Ron Paul supporters, he thought twice.

Brower’s wife, Clara, is Asian, and the talk againt interracial marriage bothered him. He said he began looking into the controversial newletters that have dogged Paul’s career for years and went to other meetings to learn more.

But, he said, the more he was exposed to Paul’s militant supporters, the more concerned he became.

“Good and bad – everything comes in different colors,” he said.

The two-time Bronze Star winner says he is not too worried and can take care of himself.

But the threats against his family have him concerned.

In a span of less than three years, it appears that Thorsen was arrested four times for a number of charges including:

• burglary,
• carrying a concealed weapon, and
• grand theft with a firearm.

On Tuesday night, during Ron Paul’s address to his supporters, the Texas congressman invited “Jesse Thorsen on stage to say a few words.” CNN viewers met Thorsen earlier in the evening — the tattooed soldier was interviewed by Dana Bash at a caucus site, at which time he expressed his support for Paul and the possibility of a “peacetime Army.” (Thorsen, a corporal, told Bash that he had served for 10 years, all during wartime.)

The interview was interrupted by unspecified technical issues. In this clip, uploaded to YouTube earlier Tuesday night, the uploader speculates conspiratorially that the “technical issues” had everything to do with the fact that Thorsen was appearing in public, in uniform, expressing his support for Paul, in violation of military protocol. That might have been easy to dismiss — until Thorsen appeared at the podium alongside Paul.

Military protocol is clear on the subject of how soldiers can participate in political activity. Matthew Tully at the Army Times addressed this matter back in 2008, and summarizes the military protocol thusly: “Active-duty members may register, vote and express their opinions on political candidates and issues — but not as a representative of the armed forces. In other words, you cannot appear at any kind of political forum in uniform and speak on behalf of a particular candidate.”

This is all spelled out in in detail in Defense Department Directive 1344.10:

4.1.1. A member of the Armed Forces on active duty may:

[…]

4.1.1.9. Attend partisan and nonpartisan political fundraising activities, meetings, rallies, debates, conventions, or activities as a spectator when not in uniform and when no inference or appearance of official sponsorship, approval, or endorsement can reasonably be drawn.

[…]

4.1.2. A member of the Armed Forces on active duty shall not:

4.1.2.1. Participate in partisan political fundraising activities (except as permitted in subparagraph 4.1.1.7.), rallies, conventions (including making speeches in the course thereof), management of campaigns, or debates, either on one’s own behalf or on that of another, without respect to uniform or inference or appearance of official sponsorship, approval, or endorsement. Participation includes more than mere attendance as a spectator.

[…]

4.1.2.5. Speak before a partisan political gathering, including any gathering that promotes a partisan political party, candidate, or cause.

4.1.2.6. Participate in any radio, television, or other program or group discussion as an advocate for or against a partisan political party, candidate, or cause.

Thorsen pretty much straight up violated this policy.

But of course, Paulbots think it has to do with some MASTER CONSPIRACY! -Fools.
