I think the good thing about this is it is Patrick Fitzgerald's office. And may I add it is about time that hate talk is prosecuted.

How long before this becomes "a liberal attack on conservatives"?

Yeah, Sean Vannity palled around with a wanna-be terrorist...and got called on it on the comedy program he hosted with Alan Colmes.
Note the vain prick's stuttering and stammering while issuing the ready-made excuse, as well as his quickly shoving the segment off to the second-string Colmes fill-in to help save his guilt-ridden self.

Wow, great to see the feds take some action on these wingnuts. Is there anyway we can get Hannity to be next in line along with Glenn Beck? Anyone? Please?

"Let me be the first..." A couple of worrying things there. One, he's actually proud of wishing death on people on his show, though that's not really a surprise - these people have no sense of shame. Two, he's implying that there is a whole crowd of media wingnuts out there champing at the bit to say someone deserves to die.
Thank God the Feds are finally taking this kind of wacko hate speech seriously.

He was arrested on a CT warrant on June 3rd for a blog post threatening lawmakers here:
"It is our intent to foment direct action against these individuals personally,'' the blog stated. "These beastly government officials should be made an example of as a warning to others in government: Obey the Constitution or die." and then saying he was going to publish their home addresses.
Not real subtle.
