A 66-year-old Hernando County man has been arrested in connection with a threatening voice mail message left at the district office of U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite, R-Brooksville. According to the FBI, agents arrested Erik Lawrence Pidrman at his home in Spring Hill without incident Sunday.
On March 25, Brown-Waite reported that someone left the following message: Just wanna let you know I have 27 people that are going to make sure that this b**** does not live to see her next term. Good-bye."
The call came amid reports that a number of Congressional Democrats have gotten threats or had bricks thrown through their office windows following a contentious vote on health care legislation Sunday. It was not known Monday afternoon what allegedly caused Pidrman to make the call.

The threat wasn’t directed at her. It was a stray threat that just happened to land in her voice mail.

Do I really need to make a comment about this sentence? We’re all fairly intelligent here.

Doesn't the mainstream press OCCASIONALLY feel a LITTLE ashamed at their unbridled, enthusiastic bias?

If you follow the news media, that’s not possible. They’re too busy fretting over phantom right-wing extremists.

When Republicans are threatened for voting against Health Care, it is evidence of how violence-prone Teabaggers are abusing and threatening Democrats.
Y'see.
