OpEdNews Editor Warned by Capitol Police For Article

"I wrote an article the other day, Black November, in which I expressed my wish that Katherine Harris and Ken Blackwell were both losing sleep worrying about people after them for murdering democracy. I gave a detailed description of what they should worry about. Katherine Harris may actually be worrying about it.

I know because I got a call from a special agent of the Capitol Police checking with me on my article. She assured me that I hadn't broken any law, that this fell under free speech, that I'd been clear that I didn't want to harm her. But, she added, other people who might read my writing might be incited to action. I assured her that was not my intent. That seemed to reassure her a bit. But then she said that I was in a "grey area."

That roused a bit of a chill in my spine-- a "grey area."

So I said to her, "A grey area? What does that mean?"

1. Don't you know that only the esteemed members of Congress, the
Senate, judges, and of course, the Executive branch are protected from the common person? If you're Bill O'Liley or Pat Robinson, or Jerry Falwell, you can threaten anbody you want on TV or radio.

3. I found the article to be chilling...
This kind of intimidation should be exposed to the light everytime, everwhere it happens..
