McCain Campaign Offices Attacked?

By John Kubicek What is described as threatening letters with an unidentified white powdery substance were received at two John McCain campaign offices, so far. One was received at the Denver, Colorado campaign office. It was the first one announced. Not long after that, another report came from his campaign office in Manchester, New Hampshire.

More updates to come, I am sure. This is one of the first breaking news reports that I had seen that speaks of both of the the initial two attacks. And I only say "initial", because it is possible that more letters will be received. Who knows.

The top questions that should come to mind right now are, "who is responsible?", "what is the motive?", and, of course, "is John McCain in any kind of danger?". Again, this story is just now breaking. It will be interesting to see where this goes... if anywhere. It could be the beginning of something big, or it was a total hoax. We'll see. I wouldn't even attempt to speculate at this time!

    I saw an amazing comment written at Digg.com concerning this article. It came from infinitydl. I have to post it here in comments, I found it to be very profound! Here it is, as written:

    "Though I doubt your conspiracy theory has merit, I almost wish it did. The alternative is that we are reaching a point in the United States where political violence becomes part of the equation. I would hate to think that staffers at any office, R or D or Libertarian, heck even the socialists and greens, people who believe in something enough (whether we agree with them or not) to spend their time working towards their vision of whats best for the country, suddenly have to worry about incurring bodily harm or death for supporting their candidate. This is not some banana republic or sub Saharan dictatorship, this is the United States of America. While not perfect, part of strength, social and economic, comes from the stability afforded us by over 200 years of peaceful transfers of power between opposing parties. I fear these attacks are either the work of some lone weirdo, or a hoax by attention seekers. Sadly the tone of the comments I sometimes see from the Kos kids or HuffPO (though she has gotten better at taken them down) wishing death and cancer...etc on current members of the administration, makes me fear they have crossed a line."
