467 days ago - Tom Mattzie is mailing threatening letters this week to nearly 10,000 people with whom the liberal political operative vigorously disagrees. If the recipients act in a way he disapproves of — namely, donating to certain conservative or Republican causes — Mattzie and his new nonprofit group, called Accountable America, will unleash what The New York Times describes as “a variety of potential dangers, including legal trouble, public exposure and watchdog groups digging through their lives.” Mattzie claims he’s simply seeking to prevent dishonest attacks on politicians and causes he favors, but the reality is that such letters are nothing less than political thuggery.
