A spokesman for Western Democrat Sen. Michael Bennet (Colo.) e-mails:
We can confirm that there was a threat against Senator Bennet's office and that the FBI working with the Capitol Police have arrested the individual responsible for the threat. Per their advice, we are referring inquiries related to this matter to the Capitol Police. Michael has full confidence in the law enforcement agencies handling the case and remains focused on his job serving the people of Colorado

Yeah, let’s use this insane guy’s crime to shut up the Tea Party, Sarah Palin, and everyone else the Left doesn’t like.
I think that it was Obastard who said that there is an acceptable level of violence and terrorism that he is willing to put up with. That level is exceeded only when federal officials are targeted.
Yes, its like saying.....
.....This law makes it illegal to do illegal things.
The redundantly stupid laws must stop.
Like "hate crimes". It is already illegal to kill a person, no matter if you hate them or not.
Threats to public officials are commonplace. Publicizing them is not. This is a propaganda effort. I fully expect a rash of media reports of threats to DEM officials.
one can’t help but note that it is only the dem’s who seem to be the victims here... is it because the dem’s are so “docile”? or because the MSM chooses what it wants to report?
dem’s are bottom feeders.... as well as their partners in crime, the msm..... the msm attacks republicans EVERY DAY in every way... maybe that is doing the trick...
An attack on the governemnt is an attack on all of us.
I would hope Boehner gets a body guard and stays away from the girls on the View. Whoopie looks like she’s packing.
I thought his latest legal name was Soebarkah.
Is Obastard a Kenyan name? Or Indonesian?
I think it is Irish ;^)
I think he was probably warned that he had a progressive little Nazi boy in his back yard, and he failed to protect the Jewish Congresswoman.
But this bill would limit “threatening” political speech and it will give rinos and democrats the power to prosecute their hate speaking “racist” extremist enemies.
That would be the same people Obamma put on Homeland Security’s domestic terrorist list for the most part. And that would be you and me who would risk going to prison for saying politically incorrect things.
There’s a poster on Oleg volk’s site, that reads something like this: “The same Senator that gladly denies you your gun rights, pays a suited goon to hide an MP5 under his coat, to protect him. Now, how is that?”
We dang near jumped out of our chairs!
Both of us had the same spontaneous reaction...."This guy is right out of central casting from one of those Halloween/Elm Street/Slasher movies!"
((( shudder )))

They are doing their best to tie this moonbat to their political opposition in order to clamp down on American’s rights. When citizens who are not well connected are murdered, nothing happens. Remember the rancher in Arizona? How differently would the dim media treat this if the shooter had been muslim or an illegal?
I put nothing past this marxist regime.
Interestingly, Loughner’s mother is Jewish. The guy is simply nuts.
