AP sources: FBI arrests man for threatening Pelosi
Source: Associated Press

Charges against the alleged caller have yet to be disclosed.

Several federal officials say the man made dozens of calls to Pelosi's homes in California and Washington, as well as to her husband's business office, reciting her home address and saying if she wanted to see it again, she would not support the health care overhaul bill that was recently enacted.

One official said the man is believed to have spoken directly with Pelosi at least once.

13. Ah, fellow DUers;
You don't understand. This is the far, far right lunatic fringe that are coming out of hiding. They are the mentally ill, the forgotten. Wait until the millions that make up the hate groups, kkk, neo-nazis, etc... get organized. I'm scared for the country tis coming Monday 19 of April when the open carry march comes to DC. I'm already telling my children to prepare for the worst come 2012.

15. These people are being played

It does make one wonder about the concept of "free will". I think we are approaching this the wrong way. We are essentially blaming the victims.
