DC Tea Party Received Bomb Threat

Democracy in action.
Oh, and the most priceless part about this threat? It was made on September 11th. Stay classy, idiots! Ed Morrissey has the details:
The Washington DC Tea Party appears to be a big success, but it’s not for lack of trying among the movement’s more lunatic opponents. Yesterday, the DC Metro police evacuated the offices of Freedomworks after several threats, including a bomb-threat phone call that police considered credible enough to investigate:
Tens of thousands of anti-big government activists are expected in Washington on Saturday as part of a “March on Washington” being organized by FreedomWorks, a conservative group headed by former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas.
A FreedomWorks staffer told ABC News that the organization’s offices at 601 Pennsylvania Avenue were evacuated on Friday afternoon by DC Metro Police because of a bomb scare.
The threat came when a man called the FreedomWorks main line and told the organization’s female receptionist: “I put a bomb in your building, bitch.”
Lovely. Why is it that the kooks always forget to take their medicine then run right for the phone?
We owe a big thanks to the Metro police for keeping things secure, but they shouldn’t have had to waste their time in the first place. It’s doubly ironic that these terroristic threats — and that’s what they are — took place on the eighth anniversary of 9/11, an irony apparently lost on the nutcases trying to disrupt a peaceful demonstration. It’s simply despicable.
Of course, if this situation were reversed, the MSM would have already declared the anonymous caller a white male, Republican Nazi who hails from the Deep South. Me? I just think the guy is a mentally disturbed tool.

A friend of mine pointed something out to me.
This guy wasn’t a tool, Wyatt. Tools have uses.
This guy was a prong: something absolutely useless…

Hmmm wonder if it came from the offices of SEIU or ACORN? Or even Van Jones himself, channeling a little bit of Mao? LOL
