The threat to Rep. King and the anti-semitic letter

A dew posts before this one there is a post from an obviously disturbed individual and at the time I had no idea from where this vitriol came from.  Now I know, and so will you.  It turns out it was in the package  of bloody pigs feet sent to Rep. King, and which CAIR claimed as an "anti-Muslim attack".


Some context here.  From the New York Post April 6 by S.A. Miller

Pig & a poke: Rep. King threat racist, too 


WASHINGTON -- The threatening package containing a bloody pig's foot sent to Rep. Pete King (R-LI) was as much a racist assault as it was religious hate mail, The Post has learned.

The rambling note accompanying the porcine parcel proclaimed that "white bitches" would soon be naming their sons Mohammed, said a Capitol Hill source.

The note contained anti-Semitic slurs, called the pig's foot a "Jew foot," taunted "kiss my black Muslim ass," and said King -- who is Catholic -- was targeted because of hearings he held on the radicalization of Muslim Americans.

King, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, received numerous threats over the hearings and has been getting additional security.

The congressman's office would not comment on the threatening package other than to say it was cooperating with the investigation and referred questions to the Capitol Police.

US Postal Service screeners intercepted the package Monday at a postal facility before it reached King's office at the Capitol.
