A San Rafael man was arrested this morning for allegedly making death threats to U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer.

A series of threatening messages were left on the voice mail of the senator's office voice mail after business hours during the week of July 10, 2011, according to San Rafael police.

Police were contacted earlier this week, and an investigation identified the caller as Kevin Joseph O'Connell.

O'Connell, 47, was arrested near his home on East Francisco Boulevard and booked into Marin County Jail on one count of making criminal threats. Bail is set at $500,000 and he is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Tuesday, July 19th at 9 a.m.

Would someone tell those fucking hacks at M$Greedia that this is a bigger story than Casey Anthony's release from prison.

3. Well, no, it's not news. It's NORMAL for right-wingers to threaten and kill liberals.

Fer chrissakes, if you had outlawed this behavior back in 1990 or so, the whole neocon movement might never have happened.

Why would you expect the corporate media to fight THAT?
