Suspect Arrested in Threats Against Rep. Jim McDermott of Washington State

Where is this "liberal media" I hear talk of? All I hear is Rush,Hannity and all the other shouters who would like to "do my thinkin for me."

Maybe if our elected officials would try to be helpful to people .......Our reps should take a course in Psycology 101 or let their staff take all the calls.

Why his friends and family!

He crossed the line when he threatened to kill McDermott's friends and family!

I think all of Congress is a little scared. I know Philadelphia Congressman said he daily gets threats on the phone and bullets come in envelopes in the mail.
I don't have anything to say to them. Maybe instead of being scared, Washington might get a little proactive and start fixing the desperate mess the whole country is in. At least during the Great Depression, the country had WPA and other programs that worked for the people that was positive motivation to enlist morale. remember nothing to fear but fear itself. And this was before WWII.

Bottom Line.......If One person wants to kill another a gun is one in a choice of many of weapon ... That person will come up with a plan ...They all do ! ! ! Thank God he didnt use a BOMB !

Please, when speaking about some people's displeasure with our government, do not include all people in this country. I believe that most politicians are doing the best they can in the environment in which they function. Compromises have to be made if they are to stay in office since we allow corporations and wealthy persons to buy elections with their contributions to candidates. This is not ideal, but it is reality. Self-righteous people may point fingers as politicians but should consider how seductive the system is and how it sucks well-meaning people in. I wonder how the detractors would fare in office.

Congressman Peter King "R" of New York just days after the cowards deeds in Arizona has a bill he proposed, to make it a crime for anyone to have a weapon within 1,000 feet of a public official...that dont leave much area left for legal gun ownership...any person who took the oath can be considered a public official..

Threats on McDermott's life ... And 4 Arizona republicans resigned yesterday because of death threats . This is so disturbing .

I would bet that every congressman and senator gets similar threats
daily. I don't think you can legislate peoples mouth from overloading there rear ends. To many people just run there mouth without thinking and the frustration that comes along with dealing with government adds fuel to the fire.
