As the historic legislation on health care reform was passed, we find out a local person has been charged for making threats against Sen Patty Murray.
By Associated Press
A Yakima man has been charged with threatening to kill Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., over her support for health care reform.
Court documents say federal agents arrested Charles Alan Wilson in Yakima on Tuesday.
An FBI agent’s probable cause statement says Murray’s office in Seattle reported the threats, which were left on voice mail from a blocked telephone number. Agents say they traced the calls to Wilson’s home in Selah, near Yakima.
Murray’s office told the FBI that it had been receiving harassing messages from the caller for months, but they became more threatening as Congress was voting on health care legislation.
Excerpts of the expletive-laced messages transcribed in court documents show the caller saying he wanted to kill the senator, and it would just take one piece of lead.

I’m glad to see the Tea Party organizers do not approve of this craziness. Words have consequences, though, and the fury of those opposed to the Obama administration is going beyond their intent to speak their minds, and is firing up the truly insane out there.
by the way, Two of the tea baggers heroes Sean Hannity and Ollie North are in deep trouble over their “Freedom Alliance” charity. It appears they been running a sham and a right winger Debbie Shlussel exposed it. Google Debbie Schlussel for complete details.
yep..Sean boy spent the money on private jets and very very expensive hotel rooms as he traveled around the country swindling people out of MORE money.
Corie: Well said, and when does all the trash talk evolve into pitchforks and shotguns? We are at a rare and frightening moment. The rational ones may not be able to head off the truly disturbed ones when push comes to shove. Whoop
