A lot of people apparently want to kill financial commentator Peter Schiff, according to his own admission.
Schiff said while others are peacefully enjoying the holidays, "hundreds if not thousands of people I've never met threatened me with bodily harm, attacked members of my family, issued death threats, described various diseases they hope I would fall victim to, and attacked me based on my Jewish religion."
Karen Jordan on Facebook told Schiff: "I really dislike you and am ashamed that you breath the same air as me."
"You are an evil person and you are part of what is wrong with this country,"Jeff Kernen of Eugene, Oreg., wrote Schiff
From Portland, Oreg., Lydia Andy Bendorf wrote, "I hope you get cancer, aids, gang green, the plauge, and suffer a slow miserable lonely fate [sic]."
Allen Bates opined, "I hope you develop psoriasis on your [expletive]."
The blogger Truth Militia wrote to him, "[Expletive] you old [expletive], shut your mouth and die like a good gentile slave! These Jews make me so [explicative] sick."
What started all the fuss? It was video Schiff posted of himself at a protest for Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) to pay higher wages.
Schiff was posing as a representative of a nation-wide worker advocacy group and asked Walmart shoppers if they would agree to a 15 percent price increase if this surcharge translated directly into a $15 per hour wage for all Walmart employees.
"While the higher wage part of my appeal found wide supported, unsurprisingly very few were prepared to pay more themselves," Schiff said.
