  1. It’s hard to take a threat seriously coming from a guy wearing women’s sunglasses. I’d have likely been killed while rolling on the ground in uncontrollable laughter.

  2. Bring your ax.
    Bad a shot as I am, I believe I could get him before he got me – Sen. Paul can’t be much worse.

    I can’t be ascairt of a guy called “Blaine.”

  3. This ObamaPajama Boy ought to face the death penalty for stating his intention to murder the senators kids.
    Unfortunately, this liberal looks like he’d really enjoy a long prison stretch. (Stretching?)

    BERKELEY — A Berkeley man was arrested on suspicion of threatening a federal official last week, just days after he allegedly wrote to a member of Congress he would “gut you like a hog” and kill the member’s family.

    Nathanial Blaine Luffman — a former Kentucky resident, according to his Facebook page — was arrested June 27 and is being taken to Oregon to face a single charge of retaliating against a federal official by way of threats. It carries a maximum term of 10 years in prison.

    While Luffman’s alleged victim is not named in court records describing the threats, U.S. Capitol Police describe him as an Oregon elected official with an office at a federal building in Portland. The court records also say the suspect has been associated with “other known threatening communications to members of Congress.”

    Luffman allegedly wrote emails and sent voicemails to the official. His email told the victim he’d “gut you like a hog” and leave “your kids bowels splayed out across floor blood spattered on the door as you lay dead,” police said.
