Fresno residents and community leaders, outraged by an e-mail message in which City Council Member Jerry Duncan wished he had a "dirty bomb" to kill every liberal in Fresno, called Thursday for his resignation, recall or reprimand.
A crowd that gathered in City Hall also chastised City Council Member Brian Calhoun and his chief assistant, Ann Kloose, who wrote in an e-mail that police should "Cap" members of the Human Relations Commission.

The commissioners voted unanimously Thursday to ask City Council President Tom Boyajian to reprimand Duncan. They also want Duncan to formally apologize to the commission and the community at the council's Tuesday meeting.

"An elected official used city time and city equipment to make threatening remarks about volunteers for the community," Commissioner Cary Catalano said. "What type of precedent does this set for members of the community who want to be involved but are fearful that if they disagree with an elected official, they will be threatened?"

Replace "every liberal" with "every Congressman" and replace "Fresno" with "Washington" ... then that would have been a "terroristic threat."

Replace liberal with anything else and it would have been considered a terroristic threat.

When will people learn that Republicans really do not value democracy.

Not to be a pedant, but if "liberal" was replaced with "atheist", "freethinker", or something similar it still wouldn't be considered a terrorist threat...

Thanks for the link. As a LIBERAL IN FRESNO I think it should very well be treated as a terrorist threat.

Better yet, why don't we just kill Jerry Duncan and leave the liberals alone?

The Fresno Bee called me this morning to confirm my personal info...they plan to publish my letter to the editor. If they actually do I will post it here.

This isn't the first time Duncan has upset the community. Our Mayor is Alan Autry..."Bubba" from Heat of the Night fame. He seems to support this little weasel.
