Congressman Receives Toxic Swastika Fan Mail

by Riley Waggaman

A not-white congressman from Arizona received some fascist maybe-anthrax in the mail. Oh, c’mon people:

Police locked down the Tucson congressional office of Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) on Thursday afternoon after staffers received a package containing a “confirmed” toxic substance, a Grijalva spokesman said.

A suspicious package with swastikas written on the envelope was mailed Thursday to the Tucson office, where about a dozen staffers work. Upon inspection, it was found the package contained a white powder authorities later determined to be toxic, said Grijalva campaign spokesman Adam Sarvana.

When the elections are over, will the daily Violent Racism also end? Nope, probably not!

Obviously the work of liberal fascists. I suppose we should round up all the minorities now — for their own protection, of course.

Conveniently, this happened in 'Zona, so you don't even need to travel too far to get those old concentration camps up and running again.

Confirmed toxic substance? Someone sent him a shipment of aspartame?

Those swastikas must have come from a bad batch. Usually they're so pure.

And the answer to your query, "When the elections are over, will the daily Violent Racism also end?" is no. If current projections hold up, it will be made legal/ mandatory.

Come on, people, it was just a gift of tortilla flour.

Steverino247 October 22, 2010 at 11:43 am

Can we please have someone, say, the President, get on the networks to point this shit out for what it is? All this acting like racism isn't still a serious problem in this country isn't helping. You need to turn on the lights so these roaches will scurry back under the sink where they belong.

snoopyfan2010 October 22, 2010 at 12:42 pm

What's the point? They know that we know that they know that we know … you know? Some people feed off of the reaction they get. It makes them feel important.

imissopus October 22, 2010 at 1:41 pm

Meh, we can't even agree anymore on a definition of racism or what has historically constituted it, and if any racists show up at a Tea Party rally the right claims they are left-wing plants, and you'd get Limbaugh and Beck screaming that they know who the real racists are…in other words, that would just invite more of the circular logic that passes for intellectual inquiry these days.

DoktorZoom October 22, 2010 at 5:53 pm

Countdown to Andrew Breitbart's blog post claiming that The National Council of La Raza (or maybe Grijalva himself?) sent the offending item…

We all know that racism is dead in America, except among the browns.

elviouslyqueer October 22, 2010 at 11:43 am

Obviously it was Borax, which makes whites their whitest!

ShiftyParadigm October 22, 2010 at 11:44 am

Maybe his free IPad was smushed in transit. That pixel dust is bad shit.

mrblifil October 22, 2010 at 11:46 am

Yo why you all be gotta be playin' the race card again my bruthaz?

edgydrifter October 22, 2010 at 11:47 am

Here's how you tell if this is a legitimate letter from a teabagger or a liberal's attempt to defame teabaggers: the liberal will make an effort to draw the swastikas correctly.

Katydid October 22, 2010 at 11:47 am

Check for David Duke's fingerprints. Er, I mean paw prints.

Fare la Volpe October 22, 2010 at 12:53 pm

And keep an eye out for any scritch marks.

See, this kind of terrorism is why I get nervous whenever I see white people in traditional white outfits getting onto a plane.

Steverino247 October 22, 2010 at 11:53 am

The kind of white folks that would do this shit can't fit through the door of an airplane.

kenlayisalive October 22, 2010 at 2:44 pm

Crew cut, kahkis and a golf shirt, right?

JMPEsq October 22, 2010 at 4:10 pm

Or jean shorts, a Hawaiian shirt, a baseball cap and sandals.

ShaveTheWhales October 22, 2010 at 4:23 pm

Wait a minute. What do have against comfort? Although I did used to take the cap off while on the plane.

Monsieur_Grumpe October 22, 2010 at 11:56 am

Out of curiosity, I searched google news for “white powder letter” looking for similar occurrences. I think we have an epidemic here folks.

DoktorZoom October 22, 2010 at 12:17 pm

No, no, no, you idiots…the slogan is "white POWER"…christ, it's just so hard to organize these morons…

SimonGirty October 22, 2010 at 12:40 pm

Maybe some of that white shit fell off of where David Duke's chin should be, if he was a fer real ubermensch?

mavenmaven October 22, 2010 at 12:31 pm

Its the bonobo monkeys again! Keep them off our shores!

PublicLuxury October 22, 2010 at 12:48 pm

Get off my lawn

PublicLuxury October 22, 2010 at 12:48 pm

Damn that David Duke. Can't he take a day off? These people are messicans not jooooooooz. Messicans aren't near as evil as jooooooooooz. Messicans do lawncare. Joooooooooooz run the world from the head of Burger Boy.

finallyhappy October 22, 2010 at 1:01 pm

Hey, this is freedom of the mail- why are you trying to suppress this person's right to draw swastikas and send poison!!! Where does it say you can't do this in the Constitution? You are all socialists or facists or affluent elitists- or all three.

kenlayisalive October 22, 2010 at 2:46 pm

Exactly. Why won't the liberals live up to their values of tolerance and stand idly by while I send poison to Mexicans and hand black effigies in my yard? Hypocrites.

neiltheblaze October 22, 2010 at 1:32 pm

Everybody knows there is no domestic terrorism, and that all terrorists are Muslim. This has to be the work of a foreign Nazi Muslim, obviously. The FBI's work is half done already. Glad I could be of help, boys.

LionelHutzEsq October 22, 2010 at 2:02 pm

Oh please. You all think you are so funny. Clearly it was just the latest mailing from the RNC, and it got misdirected.

Gopherit October 22, 2010 at 2:22 pm

Raul has taken a lot of heat and lost a lot of votes for his principled stand against SB 1070.
Throughout the state, good conservative christians trumpeted his betrayal of his beloved state and his lack of values………and when his offices have been terrorized 3 time in the last 9 months……dead silence. There's your conservative values at work. Fuck those motherfuckers.

piratedan7 October 22, 2010 at 4:34 pm

local baggers are claiming that Grijalva's staff is responsible for this as a ploy to draw attention to their flagging campaign woes. Honest! I have no idea on how they could have seen thru the subterfuge so quickly, after all, what hard working staffer wouldn't prefer being screened for toxic chemicals for an afternoon versus working the phones for GOTV…. I tell ya, you can't sneak anything by these baggers, they are onto us all!!!!!!

glamourdammerung October 22, 2010 at 7:01 pm

In before "a democrap plant did it".

7pilesofwisdom October 23, 2010 at 2:20 am

The white powder turned out to be the ashes of Strom Thurmond — talk about toxic!

fuflans October 23, 2010 at 3:15 pm

nothing like hiding your poisoned offering behind a swastika.

Breitbart says the Iroquois must have sent him some corn sugar.
