Rep Peter King

Posted: Apr 5, 2011

What the heck is happening in my country lately? Seriously, this is scary stuff. This is not a right/left thing. This should outrage ALL Americans.

Bloody pig's foot sent to Rep. Peter King

Authorities intercepted a parcel this morning addressed to Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) containing a bloody pig's foot and a derogatory message, a source has confirmed to CBS News.

The parcel was intercepted at the Congressional mail facility in Landover, Maryland, where mail sent to lawmakers is screened for security risks.

The U.S. Capitol Police and U.S. Postal Service confirmed that there is an open investigation, though would not confirm the details of what was contained in the parcel because the investigation is ongoing. King's office, which did not see the parcel, referred all questions to the Capitol Police.

According to the Postal Service, a hazardous materials response team tested the parcel and found it to be non-hazardous.

Last month, King held hearings on radicalization in the Muslim-American community that critics suggested unfairly targeted Muslims, though it's not known whether this incident is related to those hearings. Muslims are forbidden from eating pork products.

Ibrahim Hooper, National Communications Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations - a target of King's hearings - said he found the situation confusing. He said his organization regularly receives pig-themed hate messages, including letters smeared with bacon.

"My guess is it was an anti-Muslim bigot, and bigots not being brain surgeons they probably got their signals crossed," he said.

UPDATE: A source on Capitol Hill told NBC News that the note "contained anti-Semitic ramblings" and referenced the radicalization hearings. King is Roman Catholic.

Yes, it should outrage all Americans but it won't. - Backwards Typist

This country is becoming an absolute mess, and not only in politics.

Fist fighting at sporting events, even at T-ball events, name-calling, and hate messages are becoming the norm and it has to stop. Too many people think they have the freedom to do anything they want without any consequences. Our country used to be a civilized nation but lately, it's turning into a me-me only nation, but how do you turn it around? Manners and courteousness has gone out the window.

I blame it on the 60s revolution and the generation of people that did not or could not adhere and wanted to be "free". With that free attitude comes consequences and they are coming to the forefront now. They have raised a generation of kids with no rules. We cannot even let our schools discipline bullies appropriately because we might hurt their "feelings" or bruise their psyches. I may sound old-fashioned, but I would go back to the old days in a heartbeat even though I am relatively young (53).

I'm just a tad bit younger than you.

We probably both remember when a fight after school was AFTER school and it never involved anything other than a fist. Ah, the good 'ole days. LOL

I also remember the paddle at school, though I was a good girl and never had to deal with that. I kind of felt sorry for the kids who did get paddled, because you knew when they got home, they'd get another paddling from dad or mom.

We never felt our feelings were bruised or that our psyche was damaged (insert snarky comment here if you want). LOL

We learned respect (and the rules) for each other and teachers/elders.

Normally, a harsh critic of the Obama administration: "I commend President Obama on the announcement of the killing of Osama bin Laden. "Today, the American people have seen justice.

This is the first time in American history that young people—32.1 percent of millennials—have been most likely to live with their parents. While the researchers theorize that this trend is due to the fall in the number of men and women settling down r ...

Can we try a little peaceful game? Let's just say you are King for a Day. No senate, house, etc. You are the one making the rules. What would you do to fix this country? I'd like to hear some ideas without mudslinging and name calling. If you don't like what someone would do, please share why you don't like it and what you would do without calling someone a name. Maybe some subjects like healthcare, employment, fixing the debt, immigration. I bet there are some really good id ...

I thought of this when I was reading a post from someone thinking of going out on her own and getting her own accounts.

He was speaking to a group of business people who were starting their own business in the health and wellness industry. Anyway, one piece of advice that he gave was this: "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man (or ...

The king wanted to go fishing. He called on the royal weather forecaster and inquired as to the weather forecast for the next few hours. The weatherman assured him that there was no chance of rain in the coming days. So the king went fishing with his wife, the queen. On the way he met a farmer on his donkey. Upon seeing the king the farmer said, "Your Majesty, you should return to the palace! In just a short time I expect a huge amount of rain to fall in this area". The king was poli ...

We’ve come this far as a nation, now is not the time to do something different. This is the change you wanted and this is the change you’re getting." The problem facing Obama, according to the article, is the 22nd Amendment, which prevents presidents from running for more than two terms. It was ratified in 1951. However, the article s ...
