This chump made the threats Dec 9th of last year. Looks like FBI is digging up old files to look good and tough

Would this chump be talking this way now? Doubtful

Is there a good time? No need to reply, I know what you meant. Just adding to your point. Your right, it could not have been a worse time.

‘is it a lefty threatening another lefty?’

It is a report in the Christian Science Monitor quoting a named wealthy drunken guy supporting lower taxes and assassinating political liberals while he is drunk.

Ah, the perfect scapegoat. He doesn’t know what he said and couldn’t do what he threatens because he’s about to fall over.

When suddenly it would no longer pull up and the message came “The article has been temporarily pulled.”
What’s up?

I know some of the lefties are pretty pissed at some of the Dems for not really taking on the far-left agenda as strong as they wanted them to. However, McDermott is probably pretty safe. Except perhaps from the verbal abuse of stupid drunks.

“You let that [deleted] [deleted] [deleted] know, that if he ever [deleted] around with my money, ever the [deleted] again, I’ll [deleted] kill him, okay,” Habermann said, according to a sworn FBI affidavit on file in federal court.
‘I’ll kill his family’

“I’ll round them up,” he added. “I’ll kill them. I’ll kill his friends, I’ll kill his family, I will kill everybody he [deleted] knows.”


Gee, we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. We need to learn all the facts first.

I’ve seen posters on FR who sound just like him. They usually get zotted pretty quickly, and it is about this time of night.

‘Gee, we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. We need to learn all the facts first.’

I expect that the FBI, Treasury agents, Secret Service and police freepers probably get the facts pretty quickly. Hope you guys have gotten him off the streets by now.

If the Palm Springs, Calif. man had first become an entertainer and perhaps had specified "If we were living in another country . . . " or maybe drawn a cartoon character expressing his anger. . .

.. well if the past is predictive maybe it would have been great entertainment with a message that everyone loved.. well, the Hydes and the Connerlys didn't love the original versions -- but hey! what do they know.

"If we were living in another country, what we, all of us together, would go down to Washington and stone Henry Hyde to death, stone him to death, stone him to death!" said Baldwin. "Then we would go to their house and we'd kill the family, kill the children." Here

Alec Baldwin what a great wit.. what great sarcasm. All in good fun but with a serious message that Congressman Henry Hyde is a hateful, dangerous man. Yes sir, that's OK and good politics. Yes sir.

And how about Aaron McGruder's in-your-face cartoon strip, "The Boondocks." How did McGruder get so mad -- and talented? Hard hitting and wonderful sarcasm.

"Boondocks" among other things addresses the problems confronting the African-American community, problems like black conservatives cause the community -- and McGruder does it all in good fun and wonderful humor; to wit, ". . . the radical scholar and future voice of Black America Huey Freeman['s book Ward Connerly Should Be Beaten by Raekwon the Chef with a Spiked Bat (subtitle) A Critical Analysis of Black Conservatives.] . . . ."
