pecuniumThis is what it looks like: Suspicious package closes Grijalva’s office
An envelope arrived with swastikas drawn on the outside and a white powdery substance on the inside, said Adam Sarvana, Grijalva’s spokesman.
The office is on lockdown as police investigate. Those outside the office are not allowed in, and the workers and constituents inside are not allowed to leave until police clear the scene, Sarvana said.
It's not the first time he's had this sort of thing; in fact after he disagreed with SB1070 passed one of his offices was shot up, and he closed two others because of it.
The rhetoric of those opposing him... ugly: his opponent's website has scrubbed some of the comments of her supporters, things like this: El temblando racista de (the quiverying racist of) Tucson, Sr. Grijalva, must be defeated at all costs....
He believes in, sponsors and promotes "La Raza" (the Mexican race) while we conservatives value all races equally. We have heard his silly racist name calling for decades now and it is time the electorate of the 7th Congressional District of Arizona tells him to shut up, go to Mexico City and cash in his race card where it may bring him five centavos.
Those are the people who say "Conservatives aren't racists". Perhaps not, as a whole, but there is a significant body of them who are, and the best the others seem to do, when they pop up, is sweep them under the rug. Not for them the public denunciations and breast-beating apologies they demand when a Rev. Wright uses hard language in a sermon, or a Ward Churchill says perhaps we need to see what we might have done which led to people having the sorts of hatred that leads them to commit suicide by flying kamikaze into buildings.
Nope, they just 86 the comments, and then say, "the (insert action here; church shooting, assassination attempt, bombing of a federal building, etc.) are the acts of lone madmen.
"Jihadists however, happen to be all part of a worldwide religion (pop. 1.5 billion) who all want to force us to live under Sharia.
Right.
And the Limbaughs, Coulters, Becks, and Savages have nothing to do with it either.
