Wow! Looks like Obama is going all out this week!

[KoRn]

On Druge, but no link yet.

“MCCAIN OFFICE IN DENVER RECEIVES ENVELOPE WITH WHITE POWDER AND DEATH THREAT... DEVELOPING...”

I wonder how long it will take for the kooks to accuse the McCain campaign of fabricating this incedent to interrupt the news cycle from McCain’s “homes” issue

lol!!

[autumnraine]

And people say that Obama would be assassinated, I’d bet on a loony Obama follower going after McCain that is disgruntled by him losing.

[Uncle Miltie]

Good thing the FBI closed the Anthrax case!

< / sarc>

[modest proposal]

They shoulda just assumed it came from camp obama (where the che flags fly) and redirected it home.

[Snurple]

Obama forgot to put the note in. The powder is just powdered sugar off the waffle he was eating. No crime the really. ;)

[LdSentinal]

William Ayers at it again?

[SouthDixie]

Are they inhaling or snorting this week, i can’t remember?

[The South Texan]

Will the Drive Byes treat this as Democrat or Liberal hate like they would accuse Conservatives and Republicans if Obama’s office was targeted? Somehow I doubt it even makes a bleep on the evening news.

[modest proposal]

Or cocaine he sneezed out of his nose as he was closing the envelopes.

We have only the most elite former crack heads as our presidential candidates in the US.

[philled]

Hmm, same thing recently happened to Joel Dykstra who is challenging Senator Tim Johnson (D).

McCains Denver office recieves [sic] envolope with white powder and death threat

The white powder part sounds like Barry.

[Joe 6-pack]

"Good thing the FBI closed the Anthrax case!"

...and don't forget about the Canadian-Somali in this very same city who was acting alone with a pound of cyanide!

[JRandomFreeper]

Think about this... Why does the SS cover candidates so closely? Certainly to protect them, they do honorable service in that regard.

But, keeping things reasonably polite is an un-intended consequence of folks checking before you flush.

It's not from either campaign.

This comes from the outside, and is reprehensible.

The real race for the gold goes on.

I would rather have Boma as president than see the race thrown or pwnd, but I don't think that will happen.

[cdga5for4]

They already have on the journalism web site I was just on. Credited Rove.

[Kimberly GG]

I doubt the “homes” issue is important enough for this trick, but I wouldn’t rule out such stupid strategy on either side.

[onlylewis]

Hey didn't obamaboy tell McCain he didn't know what he was messing with. Shouldn't the FBI or somebody investigate obamaboy’s threats.

[mouse1]

And good thing they solved the Denver cyanide case
It was just a muslim with 1 lb of cyanide commiting suicide
Nothing important

[lonevoice]

Hmmm...reminds me of the Somali Muslim who "committed suicide" with a freaking pound of cyanide in his Denver hotel room just a few blocks from the convention site. Move along now.

[the anti-liberal]

(this is inevitable, and you someone will say it)

"white powder"! - that's racist!

But seriously, if this turns out to be anthrax or something similar, this is serious stuff.

[lonevoice]

Great minds. Heh.

[normy]

“McCain doesn't know what he's dealing with” Barack Hussein Obama.

Still nothing on cnn.com

DENVER (Reuters) - The Denver campaign headquarters of presidential candidate John McCain was evacuated on Thursday after the office received an envelope containing a threatening letter and an unidentified white powder, a campaign spokesman said.

The letter arrived in the mail in the afternoon, and the campaign immediately notified local and federal law enforcement authorities, said Jeff Sadosky, a spokesman for the campaign in suburban Washington, D.C.

Sadosky added, “We are taking all necessary precautions,” which he said included an evacuation of the Denver office, where dozens of people work.

Unrelated.

We've already been told that there was no terrorism connection there.

[null and void]

FWIW Anthrax powder isn’t white.

[batter]

FWIW Anthrax powder isn’t white.

First one to ask what color it is, is the culprit!

[rrrod]

Well Id say bring in every registered RAT and hold them for questioning til Christmas

[the anti-liberal]

Thanks for the FWIW - I did not know that.

What could a 'suspicious white powder' be?

[Political Junkie Too]

And this is why McCain wants a Democrat vice-president?

Lidocaine and flour?

Pretty much anything. Salt, sugar, flour, sand, chalk, heroin, cocaine, cyanide, meth...

[the anti-liberal]

OK, let me rephrase that:

What kind of *dangerous* powders, that can remain viable in mailed envelopes, survive Post Office irradiation (do they still do that?), and that are also white, are there?

What are they concerned that this may be? Heroin or cocaine, for example, isn't something to be worried about. Cyanide, yes.

[null and void]

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,

why do you want to know?

Hmmmmmm????

[the anti-liberal]

Because I’m curious?

[null and void]

Now in Manchester NH as well as Denver.

[KoRn]

Per Fox News:

Another letter at a Manchester New Hampshire campaign office!

[null and void]

Uh huh.

*checking*

*checking*

*checking*

You don’t seem to be on the need to know list...

[the anti-liberal]

Thanks anyway - I'm sure I can satisfy my curiosity when I get home - there is this thing called the Internet, invented by Al Gore, with search engines and other doohickeys.

:^)

[Kevmo]

Well, the positive way of looking at this is that now the media will be throwing soft-balls in the McCain camp instead of the hard balls they normally would be throwing right about now.

[El Gato]

What could a 'suspicious white powder' be?

Both Potassium Cyanide and Sodium Cyanide are white. They could be powdery, depending on how they were produced.

But then several recreational drugs are also white powders.

[the anti-liberal]

But why send recreational drugs to a campaign office?

IMO, this is one of two things:

Something actually dangerous or

something completely inert and harmless, meant merely to frighten.

[savedbygrace]

Maybe this is what McCain “is up against”. If so, whoever said that was right - McCain didn’t know.

[conservativegramma]

Let’s see if I’ve got this right:

1) Obama earlier this week struts around claiming, ...”He (McCain) doesn’t know who he is dealing with...”

2) Hitlery’s campaign has maintained all year that Obama’s camp used “...threats and intimidation tactics”.....

So my question is why isn’t the FBI all over Obami’s campaign like a duck on a junebug?

[fatima]

Bill Clinton said in an interview.We didn’t know what we were dealing with.I thought that was strange.

[Bender2]

Gadzooks! Guess nObama will tell Michelle... "I said send the cocaine to me at the HQ, not to the McCain HQ!"

[adorno]

Wow! Looks like Obama is going all out this week!

Actually, it's more likely, a bigger enemy of McCain, and a big enemy of the U.S.

Who's been assassinating his enemies abroad?

PUTIN!





Especially after what McCain said about Russia and Putin after Russia invaded Georgia.

[lolhelp]

Baby powder.
