It begins: Violence Bill Clinton warned us about has occurred
Folks, as much as it pains me to say this, I have to be honest: Bubba was right.
Yes, indeed. Recall last week that Bubba took a break from poking portly interns to tell us that Tea Partiers are all potential Tim McVeighs. He warned us that the angst against elected government officials could translate into actual threats of violence. He was right, as was seen here in FL. From the Orlando Slant-inel:
FBI agents and representatives with the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office said they arrested a Spring Hill man on a charge of threatening harm against U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite.
The Brooksville Republican’s office received a “telephonic threat” on March 25 from an unidentified male, authorities said.
Late Sunday, FBI agents and Hernando deputies arrested Erik Lawrence Pidrman, 66, in connection with the threat. The charge involves “threatening to assault or murder” a U.S. official, according to FBI Special Agent Dave Couvertier.
Pidrman’s bail was set at $20,000 on Monday, and he was ordered to wear an electronic monitoring and home-detention device.
Hernando deputies and the FBI started a joint investigation after Brown-Waite’s Brooksville office received the threat.
Brown-Waite’s district includes parts of Lake, Polk and Marion counties, as well as all of Citrus, Hernando, and Sumter counties and portions of Levy and Pasco counties.
Her office released a text of the voicemail soon after it was received March 25.
The caller stated: “Just wanna let you know I have 27 people that are going to make sure that this [expletive deleted] does not live to see her next term. Goodbye.”
Wait, what? A threat against a Republican legislator? Is this what BJ Clinton was talking about?
It gets better: the nutbar who threated Congresswoman Brown-Waite is a Democrat, having donated to BJ’s wife’s failed 2008 presidential bid. Luckily, the Slant-inel pointed out the Hillary connection for us.
Of course I’m kidding! There’s no way the Slant-inel would point that out. That kind of deep digging and investigative journalism would have required a lot of resources…such as a Google search. Hell, a nanocalorie might have been burned if the Slant-inel‘s reporters would have done that! But nope, no liberal media bias!
The left’s narrative just took a big hit with this story.
Quote of the day, “Jon Stewart gets pwned over his bias” edition
Bernard Goldberg, former CBS News reporter who wrote the bestseller Bias about what he saw firsthand and behind the scenes, had this zinger for Jon Stewart’s interview of liberal NYT columnist (pardon the redundancy) Frank Rich:
But if clearly you want to be a social commentator, more than just a comedian and if you want to be a good one, you better find some guts because even though you criticize liberals as well as conservatives, congratulations on that, when you had Frank Rich on your show, who generalizes all the time about conservatives and Republicans being bigots, you didn’t ask him a single tough question. You gave him a lap dance. You practically had your tongue down his throat.
Heh.
The cherry on the sundae, my friends. You’re welcome:
You are not nearly as edgy as you think you are. You are just a safe, Jay Leno with a much smaller audience, but you get to say the f-bomb, which gives your incredibly unsophisticated audience the illusion, the illusion that you’re courageous and that you’re a renegade. But it’s only an illusion.
Ouch! Nice smackdown, Bernie.
