GOP Leader Resigns Amid Threats

Gabrielle Giffords' Arizona shooting prompts resignations:

"...Miller said when he was a member of McCain's campaign staff last year has been criticized by the more conservative party members who supported Republican opponent J.D. Hayworth. The first and only African-American to hold the party's precinct chairmanship, Miller said he has been called 'McCain's boy,' and during the campaign saw a critic form his hand in the shape of a gun and point it at him.

'I wasn't going to resign but decided to quit after what happened Saturday,' Miller said. 'I love the Republican Party but I don't want to take a bullet for anyone.'

Note: no liberals were involved in the making of this resignation.
