FBI takes break from spying on quakers and anti-war groups, nabs another actual threat.
FBI arrests Calif man for alleged Pelosi threats

By JASON DEAREN and DEVLIN BARRETT, Associated Press Writers – 24 mins ago

SAN FRANCISCO – A California man angry about health care reform allegedly made threatening and harassing phone calls to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, including at least one call in which he got through and spoke to her directly, law enforcement officials said.
Gregory Lee Giusti, 48, was arrested Wednesday at his San Francisco home, said Joseph Schadler, spokesman for the FBI's San Francisco office. Schadler would not disclose the charges against Giusti, saying they were under seal until his first appearance before a federal magistrate, scheduled for Thursday.
The arrest came a day after a Washington state man was arrested for allegedly leaving threatening voicemails for U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, and as other Democratic lawmakers have faced vicious verbal attacks over their support of the historic health care overhaul.

Several federal officials said Giusti made dozens of calls to Pelosi's homes in California and Washington, as well as to her husband's business office. They said he recited her home address and said if she wanted to see it again, she would not support the health care overhaul bill that since has been enacted.

One official said the man is believed to have spoken directly with Pelosi at least once.

5. The Health Reform Act is already paying off big time....
Every whack job loon is crawling out from the sewer system with threats and bluster. Only thing is that they are either too freaking stupid or fat ass lazy to use a PUBLIC PAYPHONE to make their baseless threats. Walk down the street will you Mr. Giusti to make baseless threats? Now your ass is going to be fed rice a roni and mac cheese for the next twelve years. When you are sitting on that smelly hard slab in Sing Sing think about what thirty-five cents would have done for you Mr. Moron! There are subtle differences between your home phone and a public phone that polite society can discern. But you Mr. Giusti like the rest of your teabaggin friends find it mre convenient to save thirty-five cents now and let the "guvuhment" pay for your sorry ass for the next decade. Enjoy the Spam Surpise!

6. Hey, don't give them any ideas!
Don't listen to Tutonic, folks.
Call from your cellphones, and make sure the GPS is turned on!
