Arrest made in threat against Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite
St. Petersburg Times (The Buzz) ^ | April 19, 2010 | Times Staff

Posted on 04/19/2010 1:17:46 PM PDT by Brandonmark

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.

You’re reading it correctly. Let’s see how they spin this one.

.....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, REPUBLICAN-Brooksville.

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

Shamelessly biased and damned smug about it.

“Sounds like another crazed and hateful Hussein supporter. “

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

So does this mean that the local SEIU office only has 28 people?

No, you simply do not get it.

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

Y'see.
