The person who sent the Letter to Joshua Sparling telling him to die is allegedly Michael Crook who was on Hannity and Colmes earlier this year. The Political Teen has that video here.
This is an excerpt from his blog:
Yes I did it

For those that have e-mailed or IM’d me regarding the card sent to Joshua Sparling, yes I did it. I do not regret a minute of it.
I even included a jab at my detractors, by signing it "Miguel". Here in the photo, the card obviously made it to its intended destination, his hands and his hospital room. Enjoy that, tax-sucking scumbag!
Oh, and for the veteran scum at various, randomly chosen VFW halls across the country– including Fountain Hills, AZ; Dayton, OH; Syracuse, NY; Mays Landing, NJ; Houston TX, and more…. you’re welcome for your "special" cards and faxes.
And, yes, I was the "heartless SOB" that sent four cards to the Veterans Hospital on Irving Avenue in Syracuse.
No, I don’t regret it, and yes I’ll do it again in a heartbeat.
Any questions?
I am not going to publish Crooks URL here in case the informant that sent me the comment is indeed Crook himself looking for publicity.
This was also published about Crook by Heidi who is now at Euphoric Reality

Two Babes and a Brain,
Crook is not worth a comment. Behold a steaming pile of dog sh!t. You don’t hate it or even give it thought. You just avoid it.
It’s hard not to wish Crook (aptly named, don’t you think?) the same kind of ill will he sends to our soldiers. Or worse. Yes, I think worse. I wouldn’t cry if he suffered an unfortunate accident in the near future.
Scratch what I said in the previous post about it being difficult not to wish bad things on Michael Crook. I just read the linked articles on his previous bad behavior. This guy is nothing but a scumbag. I hope all kinds of vile things happen to him, and as soon as possible. Actually, judging from his looks, maybe they already have. (Sorry, couldn’t resist a little ad hominem attack.)
I actually have gotten exhausted on this subject; again we can only loose this war at home.
The unfortunate part is that acknowledging an attention whore like Michael Crook only rewards his behavior.
Well, whatever he doesn’t get here, he will get in hell. I have never in my life seen someone so ungrateful. If it wasn’t for our soldiers, he wouldn’t have the freedoms that he doesn’t deserve. Remember, whatever you do, you get back 10fold.
You all missed this!
