Rove-selected prosecutor on wannabe assassins: "No biggie."
Grrrrrr:
It seems there may be a reason federal law-enforcement officials are not interested in pursuing serious charges against the white-supremacist tweakers who were caught this week in Denver: The man making the decision is a Republican operative. And when it came to a threat against John McCain by a black man, he had a completely different approach. ...
Let's see: Men with rifles, a caches of other guns and ammo, all talking about killing Obama ... they're not a "serious threat." But a man in jail sending baby powder, well, that's a "serious threat."
And Neiwart points out elsewhere that just because these guys had meth doesn't mean they couldn't have hurt a lot of people: Timothy McVeigh was a methhead.
