[John H K]

Dan Rather just stated on the evening news that a second anthrax letter, postmarked from Trenton NJ on Oct. 9, was found in the undelivered Senate mail, addressed to Senator Patrick Leahy.

There are thousands upon thousands of these letters and you can't search them without wearing biohazard gear...there's nothing suspicious about this taking that long, going letter by letter through them.

And there are millions and millions of letters opened every day by us sheeple. We are told that we dont need to worry about opening OUR mail.

[Austim]

Excellent examples of Freepers condoning an attempt to assassinate a Liberal Senator. You should both be proud of yourselves.

So, tell me since you appear to be happy about the anthrax attacks do think the anthrax letters are being sent by Muslim or American Right Wing Terrorists?

Morton Khandrake just said 'The culprit must be a Republican' or the like.

He clearly said that with sarcasm, at least it sounded that way to me. Like he was mocking that suggestion.

[maridee]

This was with the quarantined mail. Give them a break!!!!

[blackdog]

Yes, but remember the Daschle letter was postmarked Sept. 9th. He did not open it until over a month later.Obviously, nobody sends politicians cash through the mail. If they did, anthrax/shmanthrax, it wouldn't lie unopened for thirty seconds.

[StarFan]

What is it they do in those offices besides tell each other they are the center of the universe? And then leave for another break! There is so much to be done and so many excuses.

JUST THINK OF IT! NO ONE, BUT NO ONE, WRITES TO HILLARY!

[muleskinner]

Excellent choice of targets!

Hmmm, you're on very shakey ground, young man.

[Austim]

That scumbag, like it isn't another neo-Nazi socialist liberal like Tim McVeigh...

So McVeigh was a liberal? I wonder why a good liberal would belong to a militia, read the Turner Diaries, oppose Clinton's actions at Waco and condemn the Governments intrusion into his life?

[Timesink]

Leahy is such a jerk beyond the pale, I wouldn't be surprised if it were a Democratic Senator that sent it to him.

Or if he sent it to himself to get some attention.

[July 4th]

Yeah, Hillary's so unpopular, she doesn't even get anthrax letters.

[jackbill]

Under normal circumstances, I don't want anyone to be endangered. But somehow . . . . . . .

[blackdog]

They are still trying to figure out what zip code belongs to anyone who resides in Evilbitchville, NY And Gargoylethigh, Arkansas. I guess the zip folks will get around to it soon.

[Henchman]

"What a revoltin' development this is!"

[alloysteel]

Geez, let's not hold up on the mail any longer. Get that letter to where it is supposed to be.

Do you suppose this letter is the one that has been contaminating all the other mail that has been passed along through the same processing center?

[Media2Powerful]

So, tell me since you appear to be happy about the anthrax attacks do think the anthrax letters are being sent by Muslim or American Right Wing Terrorists?

The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal with no sense of humor.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Muslims hate the left more than they hate the right, but all non-Muslim's are infidels, don't you know. They blame the right for the evils of Capitalism, but they blame the left for corrupting the world via films/TV/international busybody groups like PP (they hate abortion), and our public schools which they openly blame for corrupting their young.

Who's more likely to send the anthrax? Obviously, the head of a major Muslim faction called for a Jihad against the US. All members of that group must submit to the will of their leader...a loner Muslim acting on his leader/Allah's behalf of course is the most likely criminal. We're bombing the H. out of his country.

My second choice would be Daschle, Leahy or someone from the one of the whacko left special interest groups attempting to pin this on the right out of desperation because not even the leftist press can destroy President Bush in the eyes of most Americans after the past 2 months.

[Henchman]

LMAO!

[tubebender]

Don't you just hate it when it takes them a month to get to their mail. The perp probably wanted a increase in his studant loan.
