Less than a week after angry right-wing radicals called for the New York Times to be levelled as a penalty for its investigative journalism, the paper got a nasty letter in the mail Friday. Police were called after an employee in the paper's mailroom opened a business-sized envelope containing a beige powder. According to the AP, the substance is likely corn starch.
If any doubts remained about the substance of the message being sent to the paper, the envelope also contained an editorial about reports on secret government anti-terrorism programs with a red "X" through it. The letter, handwritten to The New York Times, had no return address but had a Philadelphia postmark.
It is unknown if the FBI will begin to racially profile the protesters at the Times offices in order to better assess the terrorist threat they pose.
No one knows if the NYPD will start showing up at Protest Warrior meetings in disguise to monitor their possible terrorist activites.
Its uncertain as to whether Michelle Malkin and Rabbi Aryeh Spero of the Caucus for America will be arrested pre-emptively in order to keep them from doing any further damage.
We don't know if the NSA will start to secretly monitor-- without a warrant, of course-- the website of Free Republic in order to keep track of where they will strike next.
We don't know any of these things. But I doubt it. After all, law enforcement acting "pre-emptively" (without any so-called evidence) to crack down on "possible terrorist threats" only happens if those "threats" are brown. Or Arab. Or liberal? Right??
