Reuters: 'Man mails DEATH THREATS to Olberman, Jon Stewart, Pelosi, Schumer, Letterman'

[Grebrook]

<snip>

According to a federal search warrant, among those who received threatening letters were Jon Stewart of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show;" talk show host David Letterman; Keith Olbermann of MSNBC; Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, who is set to become Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, both Democrats.

<snip>

Looks like someone was watching too much of the O'Reilly Factor. Seriously. That's the only reason I could think of, since this douche included Letterman, of all people, and O'Reilly's been having a feud with Letterman and Olbermann, and dislikes Stewart and Pelosi.

Congresswoman Katherine Harris is a remarkable lady !

She has perservered a lot to advance the Conservative Cause .

We Red-Bloooded Americans are obligated to support her, siritualy, not just politically !

17. Oh boy.

Typical freeper-type, eh?

25. Wow! He signed Chandra Levy's guestbook.

This young woman would have made a great contribution to our country .

:scared:

That was a bit... OK... he's scary! Sounds like he likes to insert himself in the lives of famous (or in Ms. Levy's case - famous people by unfortunate circumstances) people.

14. Who mailed those threats, Dick Cheney?

[Lex]

15. Treat all right-wingers as simmering, potential Timothy McVeighs.

Just to be on the safe side.

[Starlight]

21. Better send them all to Gitmo. We can't be too careful when it comes to terrorists.

[Garbo 2004]

18. Remember when the NY Post made fun of Olbermann receiving a mail threat

months ago when he received a letter with white powder? Olbermann said that the NY Post may have interfered with a Fed investigation by publicizing his receiving the threat. Olbermann also mentioned there were other "targets" who received threats. This arrest must be the results of that investigation.

[Lex]

20. Yes, I remember.

The NY Post was infuriating and quite wrong too it seems.

[T Town Jake]

19. It ACTUALLY was a member of the freepii corps, apparently:

[Ms. Clio]

22. and he appears to be a member in good standing of FReak Republic

[Berry Cool]

23. Which would not surprise me at all!

I hope they got the right guy and that he is well punished. In any case, this arrest stands as a reproof to the idiots at the New York Post who accused Keith of being a whining baby, and even better, it stands as a reproof to all the nutjobs at Olbermann Watch and elsewhere in the right-wing blogosphere who said "I'm going to assume Olbermann sent that letter to HIMSELF as a sympathy ploy until proven otherwise. And I can't wait to see him do the perp walk when they find out HE was behind it."

Eat it, you asshats. This was REAL. And it was probably one of YOU.

[cassiepriam]

26. A lot of people bought Rove's hate propaganda.

And some of the mentally ill seemed particularly
enthralled with it.

[Fuzz]

28. Well, looks like he went through with his threat on this freep post

"This partisan loudmouth Olbermann is a demagogue !

Someone should find out where he lives and mail him a Ted Kazcinski letter . ."

Someone just posted this story and said that he was a freeper on that site and it was pulled within minutes with the reason being 'no thanks'.

30. The last paragraph of this article is a blast from the past

In 2001, powdery Anthrax spores sent in letters to news organizations and government offices in Florida, Washington and elsewhere killed five people and made at least 17 people ill. Those case have not been solved.

These anthrax cases haven't been solved because BushCo never really investigated them. Domestic terrorism by RW whackjobs doesn't fit their fear profile.
