Excerpted from “AP sources: FBI arrests man for threatening Pelosi” By DEVLIN BARRETT, The Associated Press, The Washington Post, Wednesday, April 7, 2010; 4:26 PM
[SIZE="+2"]T[/SIZE]he FBI arrested a northern California man Wednesday for allegedly making threatening phone calls to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over health care reform, law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.

Charges against the man have yet to be disclosed, but they are expected to be filed in federal court in California.

Several federal officials said 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 since has been enacted.

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

Wow! Just wow! I wonder how stupid you must be to repeatedly threaten the number three person in line to the presidency. I would hazard a guess that you have to be pretty ****ing stupid.

Unbelievable. Maybe he was wearing a tin-foil hat while he did it and therefore thought he was shielded from tracing by the authorities?
 
You had a better chance of convincing Bush to pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan than convincing Pelosi to abandon Obamacare.
 
Fox News and the Tea Party gets an honorable mention for spewing bull**** that was destined to demand fear and anger from people too irrational to decrypt entertainment from fact.
 
Crazies are coming out of the woodwork it seems like.

The difference is that when a liberal wackjob threatens a Republican, it's dog bites man. When a conservative wackjob threatens a Democrat, it's man bites dog.

If every left-wing loon getting arrested for an asinine political statement made DP, you'd be scrolling for minutes to see it all.
 
I didn't know that Nancy Pelosi was black.
 
Man, can't do **** in this country anymore!

*coughs*
 
That's one of the problems in America right now... too much talk, not enough action. Pelosi is one waste of carbon and water I wouldn't mind seeing going back into the ecology.

I too wish death upon people who I have a philosophical disagreement with.

Actually, she's second, as the president himself is not in the line of succession; he's already "there."

Id say she was first...cuz if Biden had to fill the spot he'd wet himself and pull out his hairplugs...

And frankly, I wouldnt put it past Nancy Pelosi to pull a Ron Brown on him.
 
There are not many people I can't stand but Pelosi is one........I hate to think she is a Roman Catholic... I don't know how she does not get EX Communicated...

To tell Congress to approve Obama Socialist Health Care and read what is in it later is really outrageous and a slap in the face of the American people.......

What really bothers me is that these are not just one or two isolated whack jobs who just happened to do this type of thing once in a decade or two.

Ever since the so called PATRIOTS " of the Tea PARTY gang has declared it's faux "outrage" against the govenmrnt especially Democrats we have had an epidemic of deaths threats, Congressmen/Senators being called "niggers or baby killers' etc. It is not ust the TEA PARTIERS who have spawned this whack job behavior look at what that so called "news" network Faux News and slugs like Saun Vannity and Glenn Wreck has encouraged.

You can spew out just so many lies and out right hatred against a party, people, and the government before a bunch of idiots will commit a criminal act.

This has gne beyond stupid name calling by stupid people and we now have the spawn commtting crimes.

I can understand your viewpoint even if it is very wrong but :

-1 don't you realize that your expression of blind hatred can spur some whackjob to commit a crime /
-2 exactly which tenet of the Church did Polosi vioilate to get excommunicated? As a CATHOLIC you should realize that not only is it a process but you have to have grounds to excommunicate someone
-3 exactly what specific aspect of the "health revamp" is "Socilaistic? Is it the parts that were proposed by the Republicans in the 1990's because that is pretty much what this "law" is.
-4 Exactly what is this "slap in the face "?? and what aspects of "the plan" are "outrageous"?

or were you just ranting ??? if so ok you have that right as an American!!!

Now now now let's not not make fun of the less intelligent and guilible since he was spurred on by the Tea PARTIERS and Faux News Apparatchiks apparatchiki - аппара́тчикi

Well, no, that is not true. You just cannot go threatening to kill people.

No crazies don't belong solely to the Tea Party. Crazies are in both in the left and right.

Did he threaten to cut off her supply of botox?

Pros don't threaten, they just whack

amateurs talk and don't act

True !! yet the predominate cases of lethal or deadly threatening whackism in the last few years has been from the extreme right. You can argue that the Code \Pink idiot women are more "lefter" than "righter' yet they have not been much more than Aholes on Parade
