There's another bonfire from Skins's island here, about this same topic, but I don't think this is a duplicate; I think it's a different bonfire.

McCain Office Is Sent White Powder, Threat
   
(CBS) John McCain's campaign office in Denver, Colorado, has received a letter containing a threat and "an amount of white powder in it," a McCain campaign spokesman told CBS News' Michelle Levi.

"We immediately notified local and federal law enforcement agencies and are looking to cooperate with them," McCain spokesman Jeff Sadosky said.

The city of Denver is at a heightened security level, as the Secret Service and other officials prepare for the Democratic National Convention, which is set to begin on Monday.

The Arapaho County Police Station was abuzz with activity when they were called to confirm receiving word of the threat, Levi reports. They have started a call line as officials return media calls one by one.

3. I don't believe it
   
Left-wingers don't do things like this, period... and right-wingers don't want to kill McCain. They may not like him, but if they are going to go to the trouble of mailing deadly powder they will mail it to a Dem instead. There are a lot more Dems that right-wing wackos hate far more than McCain.

8. This sounds like something Rove has done before.   

Didn't he do this for a GOP patron in some obscure Texas race? With a "surveillance device"?

12. So, this McCain receives a "mysterious" letter is similar to what Rove has done before?

17. Yes, if the right is the source of the letter.
   
McCain needs something to knock Obama out of the headlines when he announces his VP (possibly tonight). The timing is a little too convenient, IMO.

Besides, they caught the "real" anthrax guy, right? So I'd guess it's detergent and it came from McCain's own operatives.

14. They've updated the story.
   
Apparently the office in Manchester, New Hampshire received one as well.

I just guarantee the GOP is going to try and use this to prove how "strong on terra'" he is, and how he's the victim of a "terrist attack!"

WTF??  Hate and hurt are ALL left wingers know.  They will kill you rather than admit their ideology is shit, especially if you shame them publicly by doing something like, oohhh, making their candidate look like the idiot he is on National TV.
