but the only thing that surprises me is that this hasn’t been happening FAR more than it already has.

My bet? It is happening far more than we know, only kept quiet. Think about it, if they let that type of info loose (increase in death threats), many more will become emboldened. The way it is now, most think it is not happening at all.

Threats are wrong-headed and accomplish nothing - other than giving the FBI another job to do.

Excuse me, but telling someone that they’re old, and withered and ugly and have had too much plastic surgery, and that they are a Communist is hardly a threat! It’s the TRUTH!

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly.

Officials? Official what?

Official tax parasite doing nothing but begging the press to keep his name a secret?

Were paying this government tax parasite to pass on rumor bull sh*t, in the hallway, about one of their arrogant, overpaid, insider government frauds?

They all make me sick....

What was the threat?

Ring, ring ...

"Speaker Pelosi's office ... "
(Yeah, I know ... it never happens that quick .. a little literary license here, folks ... )

"Hi, my name is Rufus T Firefly and I used to write for Saturday Night Live while living in San Francisco, and I would like to say that I will not be voting for the Speaker this election because of her stand on the health care bill."

AAAKKK !!! HELP ! .. HELP !! .. THERE'S A MANIAC ON THE LOOSE ... MY CALLER ID HAS THE ADDRESS ... HELP !! POLICE .. POLICE ...

You may be right, of course, but I sort of doubt it. Why? Because the Dims would be trumpeting this to and in every available news outlet as “proof” of how evil and wicked and nasty and violent the “right wingers” really are. They’re trying very, VERY hard to do just that.

Just my opinion.

FBI officials told KCBS the details of the case will be sealed until the suspect’s first court appearance, which is scheduled for Thursday.

But several federal officials have told the Associated Press that the man made dozens of calls to Pelosi’s homes in California and Washington, as well as to her husband’s business office.

They said he recited her home address and said if she wanted to see it again, she would not support the health care overhaul bill that was recently enacted.

One official said the man is believed to have spoken directly to Pelosi at least once.

"You're arrested for Gate-Breaking, and Tearing up of Rules, and Assaulting Gate-Keepers, and Trespassing, and Sleeping in Shire-Buildings without Leave, and Bribing Guards with Food."

"And what else?" said Frodo.

"That'll do to go on with," said the Shiriff-leader.

"I can add some more, if you'd like it," said Sam. "Calling your Chief Names, Wishing to punch his Pimply Face, and Thinking you Shirriffs look a lot of Tom-Fools."
