FBI agents took Chad Conrad Castagana, 39, into custody Saturday on charges of conveying false information and sending threats via the U.S. mail, the bureau said in a statement.

Do any of you people see how this "Us vs Them" mind set is killing what's left of this country? It's not important if this man is a Republican or a Democrat, Right wing or Left Wing. What matters is that he is a criminal. He is accused of making threats and sending suspicious mail that was designed to make people think that they were poisoned. If he is convicted of this he should receive the harshest penalty possible. What we, on both sides of the political aisle, should be doing is thanking whoever turned him in before someone was really hurt. It's blind hatred that causes people to become warped like this and I'm seeing some of that hatred here on both sides of the argument. We need to learn to respect the other person's point of view and stop dividing ourselves over every issue that comes up. One thing that we can all agree on is that this was a terrible, stupid crime and the this person, if convicted, should be punished. If we can start there then maybe we can find other issues on which we agree and we can actually start accomplishing something other than deadlock. We're in trouble, people, and all of this sniping and arguing isn't going to resolve anything.

No waterboarding please! Don't treat him different from your other Prisoners Of War - I mean.. Enemy combatants.

Anyway. They are calling him a scifi-horror nerd on the news. Guess we are all guilty now.

How about another which is clearly left... ...labor unions. You may be isolated from labor union violence, but I come from a union family and you should see how scabs are handled, not a very friendly thing.

timefreeze: "It's not hard to realize that comedians like Stewart and Colbert were rooting for the Democrats in the elections."Looks like they weren't the only ones that wanted the Democrats to win this last election.

floatingpoints: "Haaaaaaahaha, you guys always make yourselves look so stupid. "The left just blah blah blah"."Uh...note the word "typical." Idiot.

Except that he wasn't a "liberal" nut. He was a right wing nut. Not that far from the right wing nut in Pennsylvania that killed a couple policement because he was afraid Obama was going to take his guns.Jon Stewart fans are more inclined to laugh, not shoot.

The democrats did not have pundits actively preaching violence when Bush got elected. There have not been cases of democrats killing police, or going after conservatives.There HAS been a recent case of a right winger killing policemen because he was afraid Obama was going tot take his guns.(wonder where he heard that?)There has been a case where some nut job lost it and decided he was going to kill the damn liberals.In a county just east of where I live there has been a "conservtive" militia forming to allegedly protect the community. The community is not happy about having a group of gun-toting, pickup truck driving confederate flag waving self-proclaimed "conservatives" organizing and stocking up on firearms. Fortunately the local sheriff is very wary of the situation..Where were these people after 9/11? NOW they think they have to organize? Puhleeze.The democrats are not saintly by any means, but threatening violence and preaching hate and even revolution is sick. Shame on the Republicans for tolerating and even feeding into this all to get a few votes.

This is a note to all the crazy right wingers that want to be terrorists... and I will be quoting your hero..."This is America, love or leave it."Thank you for listening, I wish you a good time in places which share you values like Taliban controlled pieces of Pakistan...
