The AP has the latest details on the letter intercepted on its way to President Obama: FBI: Early Test Shows Ricin in Obama Letter.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI says the letters sent to President Barack Obama and Sen. Roger Wicker are related and are both postmarked out of Memphis, Tenn., dated April 8.

In an intelligence bulletin obtained by The Associated Press, the FBI says the letters both say: “To see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance.” Both letters are signed, “I am KC and I approve this message.”

The FBI says the substance in both letters have preliminarily tested positive for ricin, a potentially fatal poison.

This quote is popular on sites that are dedicated to whistleblowing, medicare & welfare fraud and abuse.

And this obviously does not sound anything like an Islamic terrorist’s work.

There are better ways to get a point across.

Pages Post link, sorry too lazy to find the sources again.

I have a feeling this case will be wrapped up pretty quickly.

Nothing suggests that this is related to the Boston bombings. The anthrax letters had nothing to do with 9/11.

That quote sounds like something you’d see on some nutjob “patriot” poster at a tea party rally.

Are the right wing media outlets (e.g. New York Post) going to blame this one on a Saudi national as well?

All I can think of is “KC and the Sunshine Band”

This smells like a birther/patriot who thinks he’s got the ability to go outside the law since the law is “obviously” corrupted by the usurper. Or some such ignorance.

Gohmert: Radical Muslims ‘being trained to come in and act like Hispanics’

“We know that al Qaeda has camps with the drug cartels on the other side of the Mexican border,” Gohmert agreed. “We know that people are now being trained to come in and act like Hispanics when they’re radical Islamists. We know these things are happening, and it’s just insane to not protect ourselves and make sure that people come in — as most people do, they want the freedoms we have.”

Meanwhile, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Michigan, says one of his home-state offices received a “suspicious-looking” letter and alerted authorities. “We do not know yet if the mail presented a threat,” said Levin, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

True, there’s no evidence linking the letters with the Boston attack. On the other hand, it’s kind of hard to believe the timing is just a coincidence.

Yay, Bank of America makes huge profits! I wonder how they did that?

Over the year the bank has taken costs of $1bn out of the bank, helped by 16,000 job cuts.

Oh.

I’m glad we’ve got a socialist in the White House, otherwise corporate profiteering at the expense of the little guy would probably be even worse!

Actually it’s the other way around Janet. If the “wealth creators” pay their workers less than they need to survive, then they can’t afford to buy any of the stuff that the “wealth creators” are selling.

Memphis, TN is named for the city in Egypt hence Muslims are behind this.

As a lapsed Vol, I have to point out that a Memphis postmark could just as easily mean east Arkansas or northern Mississippi…

The hell? How does one “act” Hispanic? Does Gohmert think Ayman al Zawahiri has some training camp in Pakistan where he’s teaching his recruits to play in a mariachi band?

Wait, don’t answer that question.

Yup, wealth creators, like Bank of America, totally destroyed. /

I’m playing Scramble with Friends with a random opponent. The guy just messaged me and asked if I was using a dictionary.

Like there is time to look words up in a timed game?

Plus, if you were cheating you’d be using an anagram site that gives you all the words containing a certain set of letters…

Mexicans and Middle Easterners are both brown. What other evidence do you need if you’re a 70 I.Q. knuckle dragger like Louie?

“It’s good enough to fool white people!”

“Um, well, what about the millions of Hispanic Americans who don’t particularly care to be invaded by Islamists?”

“Um…wel…uh…”

It’s just that kind of thinking that’s going to let thousands of terrorists into this country, posing as luchadors.

So when does Louie get his craziest member of Congress badge? That one’s idiotic even for him.

I am taking bad all I said. Really, I can’t make any determination on this ricin being related to Boston. The Memphis line was sarcasm by me and should have not been stated by me in such a serious case.

Wait a minute… KC… did Ken Cuccinelli finally snap?

I knew this quote sounded familiar. From 2 days ago:

Sounds like KC from the Howard Stern show.
