PLEASE NOTE HIS TAGLINE!!!

To: mystery-ak
>>Hasn't this happened before at his Harlem office?......it's probably his drug dealer.<<

Yes it did, but I heard it was a prank Anthrax letter, then it was a harmless powder .

A couple of weeks ago, someone sent the Washington Post such a hoax !

Last September, Keith Olbermann got a threatening letter in his mail which spewed out white powder, Olbermann freaked out :-0

A few days ago someone mailed the Los Angeles Times a letter with powder, which turned out to be a food preservative - - yeah real deadly

That Monosodium Glutamate will kill you every time :-)

Hey, here is another factor- -

The New York Post is the only newspaper that reported Keith Olbermann's panic attack when he discovered that someone had mailed him a 'Prank Anthrax' letter .

The New York Daily News reported the incident in Clinton's Harlem office the other day, and did so in a semi-humorous way :-)

Maybe the American People like to read about such stuff .

The NY Post got high circulation in the 1980's by headlining stories about serial killers .

15. Freeptards: When It Happens To Someone Else, It's Hilarious
...but if any of these brave, brave culture warriors ever got a bit of dust off of their mail, they'd crap themselves and be on the phone in a fartbeat, hysterically begging the operator for the number to 911.

8. They discovered that he's posted under multiple IDs,
but they are apparently holding that information close.

I guess they're trying to help him, just like Bush helps Bin Laden.

25. On the last two pages of threads they refer to him as a
"retread troll."

So they've apparently banned him before.

9. They faked a quote from the article they linked at
to make themselves feel better. This is so completely ridiculous, I think I'm going to cry :)

10. To be fair
A lot of DUers tried to pin the guy who made threats against the president (attracting interest from the Secret Service) on Free Republic and their ilk. We still don't know the whole story on that episode.

16. I agree, but as I recall
We only suspected they might have been trolls. Especially since one of the posters on FR had a screenshot of the said post which was essentially a picture with stuff drawn on it. In the screen shot, you could see that the guy had paint open, which led some people to think he may have had a hand in it.

I've sometimes read Daily Kos & DU, and have called/emailed authorities (Secret Service) on some DU posts.

17. A good number of them do that I think.

It's their way of feeling that they fight for the country without actually having to enlist and fly to Iraq.

24. They just don't deal in reality at all.
They're like O'Brien in 1984. 'If I believe a thing fervently enough, then it is so'.

26. Devious fuckers--they played with the RADAR quote to lie to their own!!!
They changed THIS:

More about Castagana came out via a commentor on Democratic Underground, who pointed out Castagana was also a regular on the right-wing message board Free Republic under the nom de rant, Marc Costanzo.

to this:

"A frequent commentor on Democratic Underground, Castagna was also a regular on the right-wing message board Free Republic under the nom de rant, Marc Costanzo."

What a bunch of losers!!!!!

They caught it pretty fast then. Must have been a typo for them to change it like that.

31. Would be interesting to see what exactly showed up when those
forensic computer guys from the FBI "restored" all the stuff "deleted" from FR's computers ... of course, probably six billion images of kiddy porn to wade through ...
