What violent rhetoric?

[mgc1961]

Gee, and here I thought that all this talk about violent rhetoric was just a figment of our liberal imaginations:

One arrested in threats against Seattle congressman

A California man accused of threatening to kill Seattle Congressman Jim McDermott has been arrested and charged in federal court.

Charles Turner Habermann -- a 32-year-old Palm Springs, Calif., resident with a $3 million trust fund -- was arrested Wednesday morning on allegations that he made threatening phone calls to the office of the Seattle Democrat late last year.

Federal authorities contend Habermann admitted to making the calls because he was angry about taxes, but said he wouldn't risk losing his trust fund by attacking McDermott.

Federal prosecutors in Seattle described statements left by Habermann in two Dec. 9 phone calls as an "expletive-laden" effort to influence McDermott's vote on tax policy. According to charging documents, Habermann to have threatened to kill McDermott's friends and family, then, in the second call, threatened to put McDermott "in the trash."

Contacted by the investigators the day after the messages were left, Habermann allegedly admitted to threatening McDermott and a congresswoman not identified in court documents.

2. Dorothy meets scarecrow

Dorothy: "Now which way do we go?"

Scarecrow: "Pardon me, that way is a very nice way."

Dorothy: "Who said that?"

Toto: "Bark, bark!"

Dorothy: "Don't be silly Toto, scarecrows don't talk."

Scarecrow: "It's pleasant down that way too."

Dorothy: "That's funny, wasn't he pointing the other way?"

Scarecrow: "Of course, people do go both ways."

Dorothy: "Why you did say something, didn't you? Are you doing that on purpose or can't you make up your mind?"

Scarecrow: "That's the trouble, I can't make up my mind. I haven't got a brain, only straw."

Dorothy: "How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?"

Scarecrow: "I don't know...but some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't they?"
