to try and stir sympathy.
Expect any agitators at the coming DNC to be GOP plants.
Recreate 68, Unconventional Denver, Tent State University?
Yeah… that definitely sounds like groups the GOP needs to infiltrate to disrupt the DNC. Some of these groups — particularly the ones that claim to be anarchists — hardly need help from anyone to achieve that.
you do more harm than good friend.
to mess things up. I don’t think this was a stunt by McCain’s people, unlike what some have said. (I’ve seen McCain’s campaign go pretty low, but this would be a record low for just about anyone, even Karl Rove.)
Literally anyone can mail powder and pretend to be a terrorist. Glad to see nobody was hurt (so it was probably just a prank by some douchebag).
Oh wait, he’s dead.
or somebody would have been injured. It doesn’t take that long to develop symptoms, does it?
This guy.
Also, MSNBC is reporting that some McCain workers have been taken to the hospital.
Drudge is reporting that a New Hampshire office was evacuated too.
coke?
crushed up prescription meds?
No need for that.
I wasn’t trying to be like Forward69 in the Maureen Schaffer post. I retract my comment.

Five postal workers were killed by anthrax…and are “soon forgot.” It is reported that there was a threatening letter received at McCain HDQs. All of this can be very intimating.
I suggest we hold the jokes and cool it. When one of us is threatened from participating in the political process, all of us should consider ourselves harmed. I am sorry that the McCain people have had to deal with this.
Dwyer.
And respect to you, also.
This is very serious. Many candidates including Obama and Clinton have received death threats, near misses, and their staff if even more vulnerable without Secret Service for them.
Whatever person is responsible should be held accountable to the fullest extent. This is terrible.
I may not want him to be president, but I certainly don’t wish any harm to Sen. McCain or any of his supporters.
thankfully is was just some nut w/o access to anything harmful.
…twisted week ahead, I’m afraid.
At least they have a relatively small suspect pool…
“The letter was apparently sent by an inmate at the Arapahoe County Jail, according to the Secret Service.”
–RMN
They should have who it was awfully fast.
And a letter from such an inmate, addressed to the presidential campaign headquarters of major party candidate, didn’t raise any eyebrows?
Prisoners need advocates, too – perhaps more than most of us… Who better to petition than someone who might be the next President?
… and yesterday’s episode is a perfectly good example of why.
The lead story on 9News.com is quoting Arapahoe HazMat as saying there was very little, if any, substance in the envelope. There were apparently only trace amounts of protein (probably deposited there when the enelope was sealed).
However they are reporting a powdery substance in the NH letter although national news services are saying it was on in the Denver letter.
Apparently the NH had a return address in Denver.
Has anyone seen the blogs on 9news? I can understand why their stories lack substance, they need to match their readership.
but be happy they post there, and not here.
