TUCSON, Ariz. — White powder delivered in an swastika-covered envelope to the Tucson, Ariz., office of Rep. Raul Grijalva is a toxic substance, the Democratic congressman said the FBI told him Thursday afternoon.

It was not confirmed exactly what substance was mailed to Grijalva's offices, located at the 800 block of East 22nd Street, NBC affiliate KVOA reported.

Mailing toxic powder is a terrible thing to do no matter who did it, but I doubt anybody at MSNBC will consider the possibility that just maybe somebody sent that package to discredit conservatives. Such a development would tend to "energize" the base.

Well, anything is possible, but I suspect that he had it sent to himself.

He most likely sent it to himself.

Hmmm, you may be right. Seems this Congressman's reelection may be in doubt:

Grijalva's troubles mounting

The Cook Political Report on Wednesday declared the race between Rep. Raul Grijalva and GOP challenger Ruth McClung a toss-up. We in Arizona have seen trouble coming Raul's way since last spring when he called for a boycott of his own state in the wake of Senate Bill 1070. But let's face it, his district is 2-1 Democrat. Who ever thought that Grijalva could actually lose?

A very good point. The swastika would be a good indicator that is the case.

Dirty tricks, burn the Reichstag politics; would be expected at this point.
