...Wilson was arrested early Tuesday by federal authorities who say he left a string of obscenity-laced phone threats at Murray’s Seattle office over nearly two weeks ending Sunday.

Wilson is accused of leaving multiple threatening voice- mail messages between March 22 and Sunday, apparently motivated by his anger over the health-care reform bill recently passed by Congress.

“I hope you realize, there’s a target on your back now. There are many people who want you dead.... It only takes one piece of lead. Kill the (expletive) senator. Kill the (expletive) senator. I’ll donate the lead.”

In the most recent message, the caller said he was among about 120 people who peacefully protested Murray’s visit to Yakima last week, according to federal court documents.

Sounds like some recent health issues mayhave contributed to this man making threats...it's hard to know. Central Washington State has long been a conservative strong hold. It only takes one of these people/threats for the libs to grab it & run.

[silverleaf]

Oh yeah, just another right wing angry white male citizen.

Don’t cha know it

I know MSNBC played the recording and seemed to relish doing so. No mention of the leftist gathering of nuts in DC, though.

[camle]

damned fool, giving ammunition to our opponents to aid their smear campaign.

real smart bozo!

[rightbrained]

ugh... this guy is going to ruin our good name

[zlala]

No mention of the leftist gathering of nuts in DC

Of course not, it doesn't suit their agenda.

[rahbert]

No kidding. Threatening a little old lady in tennis shoes
is not going to help win her Senate seat.

[zlala]

Agreed. It only takes one, esp with how the media loves to exploit “right-wingers” & “tea baggers.” People like this play into their hands.

[silverleaf]

like Barry Soetero has damaged the democrats’ good name?

Get a grip, man! Laugh at the media when they use this guy as typical of anything except whack jobs.

Wilson

So, who is this guy? What do we know about him? How old is he? How is he registered to vote?
The Lame Stream Media has a way of turning every whacked out left winger into a right wing tea partier the day before an event even happens.
I'll wait until I know more about the guy. He's either old and a little demented, or a rabid leftist. What he did was obviously suicidal. There's got to be a story of some sort behind this.

I think the members of Congress who voted for this law should be subject to the same negative health outcomes that they have willingly and knowingly imposed on the American people.

[roses of sharon]

Nonsense..when DC’s moochers and looters steal our earnings and our private healthcare, then they are putting themselves in danger.

This is just the beginning, the more they steal, the more resistance will ensue.

Absolutely. By not being subject to their own laws, they've appointed themselves kings instead of representatives.

[roses of sharon]

Thankyou...FR has become as bad as Republicans in Congress...bunch of snivelers worried about what the enemy war room will say about them.

[Bernard]

I realize it's a common name, but is this guy related to Joe Wilson, the hero of the tea-drinking diplomat corps, or Woodrow Wilson, our first truly enlightened Progressive President?

[throwback]

Interesting that he's from Selah. Is that the Selah from Psalms? Nobody seems to have a good translation, but I think it's supposed to mean something like contemplate. This guy needed to read some Psalms and Selah. Patty is thick as a brick, it's a waste of breath to talk to her, let alone threaten her. I wrote to her when I lived there. Waste of time.

"It only takes one of these people/threats for the libs to grab it & run."

Exactly. Just as they paint all Muslims as "Islamofascists" when one of them engages in extremist rhetoric and/or a terrorist act. /s

[pissant]

The idiot deserves what he gets.

[dfwgator]

He’s probably a liberal plant.
