Evidently "somebody" sent a suspicious looking package to Grijalva's campaign headquarters. Even though the package was marked on the outside with clearly marked swastika's, it seems to have made it past Post Office scrutiny, and on to its target destination, where it was revealed to contain a suspicious white powder.
According to a Tucson Fire Department official who was
Almost immediately, moonbat extraordinaire Oliver Willis insinuated this to be the work of the Tea-Party.
Unfortunately, the truth came out, courtesy of the FBI. The substance was not hydroxyacetanilide after all. Whatever the substance was, it was in fact not toxic at all-
The white powder contained in a suspicious package mailed to Rep. Raul Grijalva’s district office in Tucson, Ariz., was “non-toxic,” the FBI said Friday.
FBI Special Agent Manuel Johnson declined to identify the substance, saying the investigation is ongoing. But he said results of a chemical analysis performed on the substance came out negative.
The FBI conclusion contradicts Grijalva’s office, which said Thursday it was informed by the Tucson Fire Department that the substance found in an envelope with drawings of two swastikas was a “confirmed toxin” known as hydroxyacetanilide.
Of course, the real scandal preceded this event, and has been mostly ignored by major news organizations. As it turns out, a voter's advocacy group with connections to the SEIU had just days earlier been caught in what might turn out to be a massive case of voter fraud, on a statewide scale.
More than 20,000 new voter registration forms had been delivered, almost all registered Democrat. Roughly 3,000 of these new voter registration forms were from Grijalva's district.
And, as it turns out, at least 65% of these new voter registration forms are fraudulent, made up largely of illegal immigrants and others without a valid address.
Moonbattery calls the alleged toxin story an act of desperation on the part of the Grijalva campaign, while The Other McCain adds that the alleged terrorist attack is likely a "hate hoax"
This in fact seems to be standard practice among leftist political activists. Publius Pundit goes so far as to allege that the Grijalva campaign has so much as admitted to utilizing this tactic.
Raul Grijalva part-time staffer Emily Romero has repeatedly bragged to Democratic insiders that the campaign concocts these threats to take attention away from bad publicity. In this case, the campaign decided to fake a “terrorist attack” on themselves to cover up the story of voter fraud that had just broken.
What is more to the point is, Grijalva has more than enough reason to use a terrorist hoax in order to divert voters attention away from the facts regarding his sorry congressional record. In the recent controversy over the new Arizona law against illegal immigration-a law that almost exactly mirrors the federal law which the federal government is hesitant to enforce, Grijalva came down firmly on the side of the federal government, and on the side of illegal immigrants and their liberal activist supporters, against his own state.
Which, one could make the point that Grijalva, as a sitting Congressman, certainly has the right to speak against state laws which he considers unjust or ill-advised. Grijalva, however, did not stop there. In speaking against the law, he went so far as to endorse a recommended boycott of Arizona.
Think about that for just a few seconds. Take a few minutes to digest it. It's not enough that Grijalva has been in the front line of fighting any kind of common sense attempts at securing the border in order to stem the tide of illegal immigrants swarming into his state, and the country. It's not enough that he expects the state of Arizona to stand down in the face of such an overwhelming influx of immigrants, many of whom are draining the social services systems, and contributing to a sky-rocketing crime rate, to say nothing of all the national security implications all this might at some point entail.
GRIJALVA RECOMMENDED A BOYCOTT OF HIS STATE-HIS OWN FUCKING STATE!
Is it any wonder that Ruth McClung, an attractive candidate, one who is well-versed and well-spoken on the issues, is, even though a conservative Republican, gaining ground in what is a district which is usually considered reliably Democratic? She is down in the polls, yes, but not by much, only about seven percentage points, and surging, in what is basically a Democratic stronghold?
Of course, there's possibly another factor involved. As I posted earlier here, Grijalva was one of a group of Senators and House members who signed a letter requesting diplomatic courtesies be extended to Code Pink during their sojourn to Iraq, where they engaged in giving aid and comfort to the enemy-the same enemy who was engaged in hostile actions against American soldiers.
It should not come as a shock to Rep. Grijalva, nor to anyone, to learn that a respectable percentage of American soldiers, including but not limited to those who are or have been engaged in combat actions in Iraq, as well as Afghanistan, come from the Latino community. In all probability, a good many of them hail from Congressman Grivalja's district.
It should therefore not exactly come as no surprise that many of these Latino Americans might not look too kindly on the Congressman's actions, and though they might be among what amounts to a minority of Latinos who might choose to vote for his opponent, one should certainly not be unduly surprised were they to swell the ranks of those Latinos who are disaffected with Grijalva, and the Democratic Party in general, and therefore decide that they, Arizona and America, needs and deserves better.
