| Man arrested in threat on GOP official |
| 2007-04-25 |
| A man accused of threatening a Nevada Republican Party official with a rifle was arrested Tuesday in a vehicle in which police found swords, knives, a shotgun, shells and a flare gun, authorities said. Matthew Hunter Kramer, 31, did not resist officers who arrested him on a warrant issued after the April 3 confrontation at state Republican Party offices in Las Vegas. It wasn't clear why he was not arrested earlier. Zachary Moyle, executive director of the state GOP, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Kramer invited him to look at something in the trunk of his Mercedes before pulling out a rifle, pointing it at his face and warning that he would be back if President Bush vetoed an emergency war spending bill being considered by Congress. |

| #7 That's a dimmercrat for ya - under-armed, drivin' a foreign car, all hat and no saddle. If it'd been a repuglycon, he'd at least let off a round 'r two. Course, if he wuz a western Independent, he'd of pulled up in a surplus M-48 and let go a couple of canister rounds before making his pitch... |

| #6 Strange. This is usually a Democratic Party election day tactic. They are moving up the timetable. |

| #4 "So is this guy concerned with getting the funding to the troops, regardless of the baggage, or is he actually in support of the baggage?" Probably neither; Powerline describes him as a "Democrat and former political candidate". Best explanation is he's angry about Bush's refusal to exit Iraq on a timetable. |

| #3 So is this guy concerned with getting the funding to the troops, regardless of the baggage, or is he actually in support of the baggage? Sounds more like the former than the latter - behavior is more wacko right wing than wacko left wing, what with all those guns and stuff. |
