Washington, D.C. -
Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) said on Thursday that he'll deal strongly with whomever wrote "all [gays] must die" on a blog comment board after "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was filibustered.
"I won't tolerate any kind of sentiment like that," Chambliss told The Hill. "We'll have to see what's found out."
The comment was posted on "Joe.My.God," which covers gay issues.
Readers helped the author of the blog, Joe Jervis, to trace the IP address (the server) to computers in the offices of Chambliss and fellow Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson in Atlanta.
Isakson said immediately it wasn't anyone on his staff, and the Senate Sergeant at Arms is investigating.
