Who is Catherine Crabill?

Who is Catherine Crabill? You've probably never heard her name, but by the time you've finished reading this story, she's guaranteed to get you thinking.

Whether you agree with her or not, the things she said that are now posted on YouTube are getting a lot of people talking.

These days, even the most local of political campaigns can have worldwide reach. In a YouTube video of Catherine Crabill, a Republican candidate for the Virginia 99th District House of Delegates, is seen at a Tea Party protest on Wednesday. Crabill, in urging her audience to resist the policies of President Obama and Democrats, told her audience that if they don't show resistance at the ballot box, they may have to turn to a "bullet box."

"We have a chance to fight this battle at the ballot box, before we have to resort to the bullet box," she said.

What did she mean by "bullet box"?

"Gun sales and ammunition sale all across the country skyrocketed when Obama was elected," said Crabill.

Crabill says she refuses to take back the bullet box remark, and says she was only quoting Patrick Henry, who helped call for the American Revolution.

"I think there is a threat of violence," Crabill said. "I think you can push a free people so far before they say enough is enough."

But Crabill's opponent isn't buying it.

"In my mind, this is irresponsible," said Virginia Democratic Delegate Albert Pollard.

Pollard says Crabill's remark stokes violent extremists, and he says it paints an outdated picture of Virginia voters.

"I come from rural Virginia, but we are not a bunch of knuckle draggers," said Pollard. "I think that's an important message for people in Northern Virginia to hear."

And, ever since the world heard George Allen's "Maccaca" comment on YouTube, American University's Leonard Steinhorn says politicians have lost the ability to escape their own words

"That can't happen anymore, anyone with a cell phone camera is able to capture a Macacca statement, an extremist statement or anything else like that," said Steinhorn.

Crabill says since her remarks posted on the web, she's received death threat and hate mail, but has not contacted police.

FOX 5 placed calls to the Virginia Republican party about Crabill's remarks, but so far haven't heard back.
