Why Is It Funny For Conservatives To Threaten To Kill U.S. Journalists?

[JABBS]

The news yesterday that Keith Olbermann was threatened is at least the fourth time this year that an open threat has been made by a conservative against U.S. journalists.

This has become the year for conservatives to actually propose -- apparently without any repercussions -- that U.S. journalists should be killed. Sadly, the response from the right to such open threats has been a case of the giggles.

1. Here Is What I Wrote To The NYP's Paula Froelich:

Subject: Can't Email Contain antrax Too?

Paula:

I guess you thought it was a real yuk-em-up situation that a journalist would recieve a possible anthrax infested piece of snail mail, like this email could never be. I find it interesting how wingnut rag writers don't seem to be very afraid of anthrax infestation. They all think it is a big joke. Huh, odd isn't it? A lot of people think this is VERY odd, don't you? I mean, why wouldn't you be afraid ~ unless you know who is doing it and that you could never be a target ...hmmmm, interesting thought, isn't it?

We all know the truth about people like you, don't we Paula? "Journalists" like you get paid for unbuttoning the truth, stripping your integrity while suggestively licking your words about the masochistic, sick liers and torturers in this administration. I hope you get paid well for tongue-kissing the assets of those wingnut rich people, while supporting greedy warmongers who are unzipping their files and watching you willingly get down on all fours for treasonous war profiteers' erect bank accounts. All this while taking every inch of it all in to the hilt in order to keep people from the truth. I am sure you moan with fake pleasure as they release their skank into your ignorant little mind.

Really Paula, admit it, you are jealous of Olbermann, after all he is a REAL journalist with REAL integrity who is not afraid to tell the truth. So, if I were you, I wouldn't worry too much about getting in trouble for killing innocent people with anthrax like your friends ~ oops I mean your "contacts" do. We know you get paid to lie to the American people and perpetuate it. Must feel real good to be a team player for rags like the one you work for who are responsible for the murder of millions in wars made over lies and the like, huh?

In short, you have to live up to your REAL self by laughing at the anthrax you will certainly never have to worry about, huh? This is because you are so special. We The People however, would rather have people of high journalistic intregrity who don't have to fake or lie about the news, which you could never come close: There is a pet name we like to use for those like you, many of us who are made physically ill by your "humor": It begins with "Wh" and rhymes with a big "bore".

Disgustedly,

Cat In Seattle

CC'd all over the Internet yuk, yuk, yuk!

P.S. I am sure this will escape the reporter's little mind that I purposefully spelled "liars" to be "liers". I was referring to the papers insistance on remaing "horizonal" and on being a proverbial propaganda sexual partner.

2. Because nothing will come of it

and the perps will be ignored by the police ... unless it's someone like Bill O'Reilly ... oh, wait, there are no FOX journalists, just someone far below the level of court stenographer ...

3. that's the amazing thing

i can't believe that no one investigated coulter after she joked that she had sent the NYT an envelope with cornstarch in it. shouldn't she have been brought in by the NYPD for questioning?

isn't that worth investigating? why isn't the NYT pursuing it (unless they didn't take her seriously).
