Texas women arrested in ricin case.

FBI: Wife Tried to Frame Husband for Ricin Letters - ABC News
Here's my view on this.. How stupid can you be? Sending ricin in the mail as if the president opens his own mail?
I think people of all political leanings can agree this is a completely idiotic assassination attempt.

Well, to answer your question, apparently really really stupid, Obama and Bloomberg got elected didn't they?

She will get her day in court, the jury will decide. I have to agree that it was a stupid way to try to accomplish an assassination, frankly, I think her real motivation was not to kill anyone but to frame her husband and get him thrown in jail. The letters were just her way of trying to do that and really have nothing to do with trying to kill Obama or Bloomberg.
 
They say we are all products of our environment. And, generally speaking, it's not much of a surprise the culprit is from Texas. Texas, in general, hates that black Obama. Some of the more extreme whackos, birthers, nutters I know are from Texas. To put a pro-Obama bumper sticker on your car in Texas will almost surely get your car keyed or ran off into a ditch.

Should her environment shoulder some of that responsibility?

I mean, if conservatives can blame Chicago on "liberals," then.... well....

It's a stretch, I know.

Perhaps, if the case was actually motivated by Obama instead of him being the instrument that this estranged wife used to try to frame her husband and send him to jail. It really has little to nothing to do with Obama, it is about her actions towards her husband.

Makes kind of wonder, if she is currently pregnant, as reported, is her husband really the father?

The OP points out that this had nothing to do with Obama.

How freakin desperate do you have to be to keep throwing out the race card to defend your corrupt ideology ?

Your'e basically telling everyone " hey guys , my points and data can't stand on their own merit, so I"m going to throw around false accusations of racism ok " .

This woman alledgedly sent in RICIN KNOWING it was going to be targeted and removed so she could set someone up. "

Maybe to you, but she was an actress. Article says she was in an episode of Vampire Diaries and another show. Also she has done Avis commercials (isn't that the same rent-a-car company that OJ did commercials for?) So, if you want to blame environment, sure, she apparently went to Hollywood at least a few times, as messed up as Cali is, probably something there screwed up her brain.

Hmm. Other than the race angle, I don't see where you get that these are such bad things. And it isn't a race thing, many, if not most of us hated Clinton also.

Well, this shows the folks who were all over this being "right-wing terrorism" were, as usual, way off the mark and full of **** (which they flung around liberally). Had nothing to do with political persuasion, just an actress wife setting up hubby for personal reasons. These were not assassination attempts.

Why should all be able to agree that this woman is incredibly vile and stupid.

It means the rightwing internet reverso meme about the wonders of Texas is so much more weirdness coming out of the godforsaken rightwing source of weirness.

Texas, Our Texas! all hail the mighty State!
Texas, Our Texas! so wonderful so great!
Boldest and grandest, withstanding ev'ry test
O Empire wide and glorious, you stand supremely blest.
(chorus)

Texas, O Texas! your freeborn single star,
Sends out its radiance to nations near and far,
Emblem of Freedom! it set our hearts aglow,
With thoughts of San Jacinto and glorious Alamo.
(chorus)

Texas, dear Texas! from tyrant grip now free,
Shines forth in splendor, your star of destiny!
Mother of heroes, we come your children true,
Proclaiming our allegiance, our faith, our love for you.

Chorus

God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.
God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.

Eat your hearts out.

Its song is as kooky as its governors.

Shouldn't guns and misogyny be in it somewhere?

Shouldn't you be toddling off now that your meme got broken wide open in this case? This has nothing to do with any sort of wing, left or right. It was the bad idea of a numbskull who hoped it would gain her what she couldn't get through a divorce attorney. This isn't about Texas or any other state.

Is she the second or third suspect?

If the second it will come out that she lacked the skills to make ricin.

If she's the third she will kill herself in custody after confessing of course
