More New Tone: Severed Pig's Foot Sent to Rep. Peter King

I’m sure the progressive media will decry this as uncivil as much as they decried Mike Huckabee’s goofy ‘gun point’ joke. Right?

A bloody, severed pig’s foot was sent to Rep. Pete King over his hearings on Islamic radicalization:

Authorities intercepted a parcel this morning addressed to Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) containing a bloody pig’s foot and a derogatory message, a source has confirmed to CBS News.

Ibrahim Hooper, National Communications Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations – a target of King’s hearings – said he found the situation confusing. He said his organization regularly receives pig-themed hate messages, including letters smeared with bacon.

“My guess is it was an anti-Muslim bigot, and bigots not being brain surgeons they probably got their signals crossed,” he said.

UPDATE: A source on Capitol Hill told NBC News that the note “contained anti-Semitic ramblings” and referenced the radicalization hearings. King is Roman Catholic.

Right. An anti-Muslim bigot that scrawled anti-Semitic “ramblings” on a note included. Nice try, CAIR.

I’m sure the progressive media will report on this any day now.
