Woman felt threatened by e-mail from former Harper adviser who advocated assassination of WikiLeaks founder

CALGARY A Toronto woman says she felt threatened by an e-mail response she says she received from a former Stephen Harper adviser at the centre of a controversy over his comments about WikiLeaks.

Janet Reymond says she felt “justifiably outraged” after Tom Flanagan mused on a CBC political talk show last week that the founder of WikiLeaks should be killed.

...

In an interview Tuesday with The Canadian Press, Reymond said she e-mailed Flanagan after his televised comment and he sent back a one-sentence reply that said simply, “Better be careful, we know where you live.”

Reymond said she considered that a threat and immediately called Toronto Police.

1. Can't he be sent back to Illinois for uttering first, a call to violence,

and now making a threat? I hope so. Flanagan ..... our own Karl Rove.

2. That must have made him feel very manly indeed. n/m

3. "She has now received a proper apology."

"I'm sorry that I did not send a more serious response to your email," Flanagan's most recent email to Reymond reads. "I regret that I made glib and thoughtless comments about a serious subject."

'A proper apology', not being sorry for the threat to Reymond, just that it was a glib and thoughtless comment. This f*er seems to think threats are a joke. Time for another email to the U of C. I don't want him anywhere near intelligent young minds.
