Rep. Eric Cantor threatened (no, really!)
   
from Talking Points Memo

A 33-year-old Philadelphia man was charged today with threatening to kill Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) in a profanity-strewn Youtube video that has since been pulled down.

In the video, Norman Leboon says Cantor will "receive my bullets in your office, remember they will be placed in your heads. You and your children are Lucifer's abominations."

The San Francisco office of the FBI received a copy of the video on March 26, according to the affidavit in the case. You can read the press release and affidavit on the case here.

The affidavit paints a picture of Leboon as a deeply disturbed person. When he was visited by federal agents on Saturday, he "stated that he is the 'son of the god of Enoch' and that his father speaks through him. Leboon stated that Eric Cantor is 'pure evil'; will be dead; andthat Cantor's family is suffering because of his father's wrath."


Why do I think this isn't going to fit into the Republicans' narrative about threats from liberals?

1. Did they say he was a liberal?
   
He sounds like an anti-Semite whack job to me...

There's a difference?

5. Not him specifically...
   
...but after the weekend threats/bricks/faxes/curses on Democrats supporting HCR, the Republicans tried to run out and say that liberal activists were being just as mean to them.

Freudian slip there?  People being mean to liberals equal making threats.  :mental:

6. His motivation looks like delusion, not politics . . .
   
He probably just happened to hear Cantor on the TV machine while the voices were talking in his other ear .

Those voices wouldn't have been Keith, Rachel, and Malloy?

4. More political theater from Cantor
   
Notice the timing.

Notice the timing?  Yeah , it happened after one of you people posted a video on youtube.  He didn't make up a charge like DemonRat congressmen did.
Not much there, the truth of liberal violence is something they don't want to face.

8. Well, if that's how they want to play...
   
I'm sure they will need to prosecute those who practice criminal threats against Democrats as well. They've set the precedent now...

WTH? They act like no one has ever been charged with making threats before.  They are going to have a fit when they figure out that the guy donated to Obama and claims to be one of their pet people.....gay and muslim to boot.  LOL  They wont be able to condemn him.  The excuses should start any moment now.

Have the DUmmies figured out he's one of theirs, yet?

On edit:  I rowed over to see for myself.  They have their fingers firmly in their ears, as I suspected.

9. Sounds like a typical liberal to me....If only Cantor would talk with him
   
and try to make him understand the Republican philosophy... maybe we all could just get along.

He is so hot.  It's such a shame that he's gay and I'm married.  :(

That's so sad. You guys have two strikes against you already.
