Law enforcement officials say a package with white powder was sent to Congressman Weiner’s Queens office today.
A preliminary review shows the letter in part complained about the health care legislation, according to the source.
NYPD and FBI spokesman are only confirming to NBC News NY that they are responding to the scene.

UPDATE FROM WCBSTV: Threats against a congressman who voted for the health care bill were tuned up a notch Thursday when Rep. Anthony Weiner’s office received a letter containing white powder. Hazmat teams rushed to Weiner’s Kew Gardens office after the letter containing the powder was received Thursday afternoon. At least nine people were decontaminated as a precaution. The NYPD’s field tests ruled the white powder was not hazardous.

Doen’t anybody notice that this is a coordinated campaign by all kinds of Democrat operatives to give the impression that Republican supporters are terrorists, and to shift attention away from Democrat arrogance and thuggery in passing the “Healthcare” bill?
Reminds me of the burning of the German Reichstag parliament, orchestrated by Hitler, in order to justify a declaration of martial law dictatorship.
deepthinker you are right on target!

Your shallow so-called thinking has reached a new low. It is people like you who encourage the right wing loonies to violate the law and cause danger to true patriots.
This is the second Jewish politician threatened by the right, which includes white supremacists groups that are brewing over Obama and blame “the Jews” for what Obama does.
Deepthinker,
On the last post you said that the bullet that went through a window in Eric Cantor’s office was the result of anger at the health care bill being directed at Jews. (The Richmond police, who took the time to investigate before forming an opinion, disagree with you, but why let facts get in the way of deep thoughts?)
Now you claim a similar attack means this must be the result of a conspiracy orchastrated by “all kinds of Democrat operatives.”
In other words, it seems you have no idea what’s going on, but are supremely confident that whatever it is it’s all the Democrats fault.
