This is the guy the New York Post applauded when Keith Olbermann received white powder and a threatening letter

Remember when Keith Olbermann received a threatening letter in an envelope containing white powder, and the New York Post thought it was a big joke? He spoke about it here:



Well, this is the guy the Post was applauding for threatening a media personality they didn't like:

A California man suspected of mailing threatening letters containing a suspicious white powder to celebrities and U.S. politicians has been arrested and could face federal charges on Monday, the FBI said.

Investigators identified Chad Castagana, 39, of Woodland Hills, California, as the person suspected of sending more than a dozen threatening letters to media outlets and the homes of public figures in various cities, the FBI said in a statement on Sunday evening.

According to a federal search warrant, among those who received threatening letters were Jon Stewart of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show;” talk show host David Letterman; Keith Olbermann of MSNBC; Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, who is set to become Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, both Democrats.

The document, filed on Friday in United States District Court in Los Angeles, said multiple people in various cities, including New York and San Francisco, received letters over the past three months that contained an unknown white powder and various written threats.

In some cases, the threatening letters included expressions such as “Death to Demagogues” and references to Alan Berg, a Jewish talk radio host murdered by white supremacists in Denver in 1984, the document said.


Nice. Nice people at the Post. They blindly support everything Israel does, and then applaud guys who see Zionist conspiracies everywhere who try to shut people up who don't agree with the editorial policy of Rupert Murdoch's rag.

For years, right-wing radio hosts led by Rush Limbaugh have fed these guys. By painting liberals as not just people who disagree, but traitorous and dangerous, guys like Limbaugh have sent out the messages that threatening these dissenting voices is perfectly OK. I would say to these so-called conservatives: Do you really want to be ideological brothers with guys like Chad Castagana?
