John Romero said officers were meeting with Suleman&#8217;s publicist Mike Furtney about the flood of angry phone calls and e-mail messages against Suleman, her children and Furtney.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are aware of the media accounts of the threats, and that they are being sent to the West Los Angeles detectives for appropriate action,&#8221; Romero said.<\/p>\n<p>Furtney said 500 new e-mails were received early Thursday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The logic here is impeccable.  <em>I don&#8217;t like the fact that I will have to indirectly help pay to take care of this woman&#8217;s children.  Therefore, I will kill her, necessitating several foster parents, and thus HEIGHTEN the cost to the state, which I will still have to help pay.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kugelmass.wordpress.com\/2009\/02\/03\/those-obscene-octuplets\/\">Kugelmass has it right<\/a>: this actually has very little to do with who has to pay what and how many kids an unemployed single mother should or shouldn&#8217;t have.  You don&#8217;t get this type of widespread, hyper-violent reaction from a question of economics &#8211; not even, I would argue, from people disgusted with the Wall Street bailouts.  No, this is about &#8220;the worship of motherhood and the hatred of mothers.&#8221;  And I don&#8217;t think you can have one without the other.<\/p>\n<p>(<em>Cross-posted at <a href=\"http:\/\/modernmitzvot.wordpress.com\">Modern Mitzvot.<\/a><\/em>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the AP wire: LOS ANGELES \u2013 Police said Thursday they will investigate death threats against octuplet mom Nadya Suleman and advise her publicist on how to handle a torrent of other nasty messages that have flooded his office.
