TUCSON — Authorities say a Phoenix man has been charged with threatening to kill Arizona Democratic Rep. Raul Grijalva.
Federal prosecutors say 31-year-old Justin M. Haynes was indicted Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Tucson on one count of threatening to assault, kidnap or kill a federal employee or official.
Prosecutors say Haynes is accused of calling Grijalva's office in Tucson on April 23 and threatening to "come down there and blow the brains out" of Grijalva and his employees.
Haynes is scheduled to be arraigned June 24. Prosecutors say Haynes faces up to a 10-year federal prison sentence if he's convicted. It was unclear Friday whether Haynes has legal representation yet for his case.

Pro Sb1070, Tea Patry, and maybe a part Time Minuteman is my guess. Those that speak for the right need to be careful that they don't insight people like this.

Up to 10 years for words? And yet people want to give ILLEGAL ALIENS amnesty? They say justice is blind. I say it's also deaf, and dumb.....

Yes, DataMan, there've been a lot of seeds of hate scattered about, some inadvertently, over this SB 1070 issue. When they take root in an irrational mind anything can happen, and often has.

Not to mention the seeds of liberal ignorance, anti-Americanism, pandering to illegal invaders and reverse racism.

Is it possible that the guy was just spouting off due to frustration with an elected "representative"?
Slabside posted at 6:05 pm on Sat, Jun 12, 2010.
A distinct possibility allamer.

forkedlift1 -- Would you include the teacher CA that wants to reclaim land "stolen" from Mexico? Pray, tell me, is HIS mind irrational? Watch the video:

The TRUTH is out. America has heard, and has answered. Why do you think 70% are FOR SB 1070. Is that many people in the USA irrational?
Still waiting for an answer to ANY of my DIRECT QUESTIONS!!

Masterrogue666, I hope you don't expect an answer from forkedlift. Once the light is shown on the strawmen and half truths he/she spins it's like a cockroach running for a hole in the floor to get away.

"The TRUTH is out. America has heard, and has answered. Why do you think 70% are FOR SB 1070. Is that many people in the USA irrational?"
Yep, they is. It's why there was a Nazi Germany at one point. The term "illegal immigrant" isn't rational. A lot of people tend to follow anyone who can give them someone to look down on. It's a simple propaganda technique and irrational. It tends to radicalize itself over time, as Pearce going after babies shows. And if it doesn't cause a war it is marginalized over time, but at its height it can capture a pretty large following as it makes the insecure as well as the incompetent feel better about themselves. They are actually better than the group that is the focus. Eventually, of course, people come to their senses and realize it's just sick, but until then it can be a powerful and destructive force.

Excellent comment, Rich. You've got a good handle on what makes insecure people tick so they can somehow feel better about themselves.....and how trends of hysteria and feeding frenzies often pass with time.
Slabside posted at 4:32 pm on Mon, Jun 14, 2010.
Oh yes Rich, great post! The Joseph Goebbels politcal writing course has paid off for sure. One never can fail to find the common theme in every one of your posts...BIGOTRY AND RACEBAITING. I'm sure you listen to David Duke tapes while you sleep for their subliminal message to reinforce your mantra. The term ILLEGAL means nothing to your ilk.

Rich: Since when is LEGAL standing equal to race? I know that you Pro ILLEGAL ALIEN types would like to think it's true. But it's not, no matter how convoluted your statement may become...
Masterrogue666 posted at 5:24 pm on Mon, Jun 14, 2010.
Slabside: Quite correct. I once was willing to try to find a common ground, but forkedlift never answered a simple question. "Do you think ILLEGAL ALIENS have the same rights as US citizens?"
Of course, no answer answers the question in another way. Before, I may have considered amnesty for some. Not now. It was given once, US citizens shouldn't be forced to accept millions of law breakers every 20 years or so...

Rich/forkedlift: By the way, not that I expected it, but you still haven't answered my question about that CA's teacher's rationality. There's just no getting around the truth, is there?

Masterrogue666,
I looked, wasn't going to and it was pretty much as expected. He was as rational as Russell Pearce. It's called a Hegelian synthesis. Theses creates antithesis which eventually brings about synthesis. It's only important when the people who accept the radical end of the question act, so long as they talk, it really isn't important. When they act you get war, lynchings, things of that sort. When they talk, eventually you synthesize the positions.
The problem currently is the radicals on both sides hold the floor is all. And the longer that is true the more potential for violence. You and slabside feel basically inferior and you've been given the chance to put people below you. Your reaction is rather common and not unexpected, radicals on both sides count on it. slabside is really a severe case, he turns into a blithering nutball screaming racism etc. every time someone brings up something he doesn't understand.
I have no problem answering you. The problem really seems that you have a problem answering the simple, rather banal questions set up for you. You have to have someone to yell at, to feel superior to. Wouldn't you be happier if you became more comfortable with yourself?
Slabside posted at 7:06 pm on Mon, Jun 14, 2010.
Wow Rich, are we not friends anymore? I'm crushed. Actually I understand you perfectly. If an issue in 180 degrees from what you believe then the only answer must be racism. If a person thinks Obama is a lousy president, the person must be a racist. If Arizona decides to enforce an immigration law that the Federal government ignores, Arizona is surely racist.
Rich posted at 9:36 pm on Mon, Jun 14, 2010.
slabside,
What is your obsession with racism? It isn't in the argument or even in play here. What is is basically your own insecurities. But to make you happy:
If a person thinks Obama is a lousy president, the person must be a racist. Why? I find him to be more than a bit incompetent and certainly out of his depth as President, however since he seems to be able to hide his academic records we can't be sure if he was just a bad choice or not. That's racist?
If Arizona decides to enforce an immigration law that the Federal government ignores, Arizona is surely racist. Not that I see, just stupid, the governmental structure isn't built to take it and the attempt can only fail. .Again, what does that have to do with race?
You seem to be hung up here. Did you have a point or are you just dithering?

I'll give you an "A" for effort. However, your blusturous opinion (not fact, mind you) is really nothing more than attempted insults. As such, it leaves any/all questions unanswered.

Masterrogue666
When have I place anyone "below" me? Nearly every time you post.
I did say they don't have the same rights as U.S. citizens (due to birthright). See?
You're basically contradicting yourself.
Other than a deep-rooted insecurity do you really have any reason for that? Everyone has the same basic rights, they come with being under the jurisdiction of the legal code. If they don't have the rights, they are not under the code, so there is no stretch which would make them "illegal." However as a symptom of your own insecurity, you need someone to have less rights than you have. Someone to look down on. Which is all this is about. Clever politicians giving insecure and incompetent people someone to look down on.
People have been crossing the area that is now the U.S. Mexican border in both directions to go to work for about 300 years now. That isn't really a big deal. Periodically unscrupulous politicians use it to gain votes and probably scam money because insecure and incompetent people buy it for a while at least.

Rich:
So, you don't like the term "illegal immigrant". I don't use that one myself. I think the term "ILLEGAL ALIEN" is more accurate. Would you prefer I use the term "Unlawful"?
Understanding the difference between my rights, and those that are here illegally isn't "putting them down". If I questioned their heritage, or intelligence, then I'd agree with you.
What's interesting is that YOU don't seem to realize that you are guilty of what you accuse me of. Using statements like:
-- "You and slabside feel basically inferior and you've been given the chance to put people below you."
-- "The problem really seems that you have a problem answering the simple, rather banal questions set up for you."
Et, al.
In truth, it's the same as using terms like racist, bigot, or many others. No matter, name calling doesn't deter me.
Just because you think I'm "insecure" doesn't make it so. Just because you think people crossing the border is no big deal, doesn't make it so. Unless, of course, you don't like living in a land where there are laws.
What I found amusing about all your ineffective rhetoric is your referral to "Nazi Germany". Yet you expound upon the "Hegelian synthesis". Guess what, he was German to:

I guess that not all Germans are bad, eh?
