A spokesman for Western Democrat Sen. Michael Bennet (Colo.) e-mails:
We can confirm that there was a threat against Senator Bennet's office and that the FBI working with the Capitol Police have arrested the individual responsible for the threat. Per their advice, we are referring inquiries related to this matter to the Capitol Police. Michael has full confidence in the law enforcement agencies handling the case and remains focused on his job serving the people of Colorado

I suspect that local LEOs everywhere are fearful of a spate of “copycat” crimes involving members of Congress.
I hope the *representatives* themselves feel the heat.
Considering the sources (Bennett’s office and the Denver Post), I’d call this less of a copycat than just another load of BS from the libs and their ministry of propaganda.
Another Palin/Beck follower?
Muslims kill little people and we’re told to put up with it.
A member of the Ruling Elite gets shot and there is a huge crackdown.
So much for “equal protection”.
Obama has said: ‘We Can Absorb another Terrorist Attack’.
How many more attacks on politicians does Obama say we can “absorb”... or is that different?
They:re pulling out all the stops. How much longer until Obama declares martial law? People, this was not political. It was a mentally ill young man incapable of rational thought.
On Glen Beck’s show, during a quick break, the network ran the mug shot of Loughner...OMG! Evil incarnate! Scary is an understatement! Sick! Sick! Sick!
Yes, but we wouldn't want facts to get in the way now would we.
Can’t be a copycat because all the calls and threats made by the perp occured before Sat.
Since it is already illegal to threaten to kill politicans, the political witch hunt leglislation Dems have proposed in the Congress has to be stopped.
They are trying to outlaw political speech they don’t like in the aftermath of the shooting. Democrats call any speech they despise “hate” “theatening” and “dangerous. They have named their political enemmies domestic terrorists and now they want to make the speech of these “terrorists” a felony.
We have to contact our Congress people to stop them. I also want Lieberman’s Internet takeover leglislation stopped. It is an extreme solution to the problem of a traitor’s leaking of information to wiki-leaks.
Complaining about SocSec. Benes? I doubt it. That is what the left does.
I suspect left-wing wackos don’t want Democrats voting WITH Republicans.
Gotta be a Tea Partier/Palin Fan/Beck Watcher/Limbaugh Listener....
Totally agree
The only “copycat” crimes involving Congress we’ll get are in the form of further attempt to suppress free speech and gun rights.
I'm not much of a conspiracy man or nut case but go ahead and label me here as one of those individuals, my gut feeling and personal opinion is this smells to high heaven of some one behind the scenes high up egging this man on to do this dirty deed for some political reasons.
And I won't trust the Democrats to not come out with false accusations declaring that there are evil tea partier conservative making death threats against them, no I won't put them past them, I don't trust them one D##m bit. But I don't really know what to believe any more because way over on the liberal left side of the political scene there are some really really big time looney tune nut cases out there that I'm more worried about then the so called blue dog democrats or RINO's. I believe even communists and socialist from the former USSR and China wouldn't let these looney tunes exist. Even the communist and socialist have their limits.
