The Talent for Senate Campaign is expressing its concern over what it views as a threat against Senator Jim Talent. It appears on the McCaskill for Missorui website – claireonline.com. The site allows visitors to enter their thoughts on a blog. One entry, posted June 9th, criticizes Talent and reads, in part: “I say, we need to respond with a little Dick Cheney justice, shoot him in the face, but don’t kill ’em just marr that pretty boy face of his.” Rich Chrismer with the Talent Campaign says U.S. Capitol Police have been alerted, as is standard operating procedure in cases in which threats or perceived threats have been made against U.S. Senators or Representatives. Chrismer doesn’t know who, in the McCaskill Campaign, had knowledge of this entry. But he says the Campaign has allowed this to appear on the web site and he’s calling for the immediate removal of the threat.
