Posted on 11/14/2006 6:48:47 AM PST by steve-b

A man was arrested and accused of mailing threatening letters laced with white powder to Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, David Letterman and other high-profile figures, the FBI announced Sunday.

FBI agents took Chad Conrad Castagana, 39, into custody Saturday on charges of conveying false information and sending threats via the U.S. mail, the bureau said in a statement....

Checking the article, the targets of his attacks were absolutely in line with the preferred enemies of readers of this list...

I smell ozone.

But it might be a good idea for people to tone down the vicious rhetoric about what they'd like to see done to those that disagree with them.

You should give the same advice to your buddies at DU.

Obviously, that doesn't mean that everyone here is a terrorist like this guy. But it might be a good idea for people to tone down the vicious rhetoric about what they'd like to see done to those that disagree with them.

Show me posts where freepers have used rhetoric on the same level as sending anthrax letters.

You're a troll.

You're right, of course.

Besides his recent sign up date, read his past posts:

They are all giving advice about how the GOP needs to be more accommodating to the Democrats.

I think if any of us Freepers go nuts we should turn ourselves in to the nearest police and not hurt innocent people

You signed up on 11/9/06 to lecture this forum on how to express themselves?

Don't you think you should at least read the forum for a few days before you presume to know what people post and their intentions?

That's like me walking into you home and telling you how you should take care of your house because it isn't up to my standards.

Honestly, he can have whatever opinion he wants to about the GOP cozing up to the Democrats. Obviously, some of the leaders of the Republican party feel the same way.

Even his post(s) contrasting Republicanism and conservatism may have some merit.

But when you say the "readers of this list" [is that the infamous anti-Dixie Chicks Mailing List, by the way?] have "preferred enemies" that are "absolutely in line" with the targets of fake anthrax letters by some bumhug nutbag, your rhetoric is halfway across the bridge to Trollville.

Maybe he's not a troll, maybe it was just an unfortunate choice of words. But I am just really sick of the f'n sleeper trolls here. Like halfway across the bridge to Opusville sick.

Hmmmm. It seems he/she is a hit-and-run poster. Very troll-licious. Should we notify the authorities?

Even though I love the smell of ozone in the morning, it always seems more rewarding when the trigger is pulled immediately in the next post that follows an inappropriate post.

Actually, I think OBL is on here. I know I've read some posts eerily reminiscent of his language style.

Bin Ladin posts under an assumed identity. His posts mostly claim that Muslims are inherently evil and encourages true Americans to Nuke Mecca.

Worldwide religious warfare is certainly "his language style".
