Seriously Cantor is no different than that girl who carved a "B" in her face and blamed Dems for it
All he wanted to do was stir up trouble when it has been followers of HIS party that have been committing the violence. What Cantor 'claimed' today only stoked the fire of hate groups like the Tea Baggers looking for every excuse to attack democrats. He is a liar, just like that girl who carved the backwards "B" in her face and blamed it on Obama campaign supporters.

6. thank you - and it was his campaign office not his actual office
You'd think if someone was seriously attacking Cantor they'd go to his main office where damage could be done.

12. This is all ridiculous. As if it would make the threats against Democrats okay
even if it *had* been true.

What disgusting tactics they are trying to use.

5. The police have already announced this was something random
the gun was fired into the air not at the building. Yet Cantor is out there screaming like it was a driveby shooting on his building

13. It was fired into the air, and came down through the window pane -- but not the blinds -- of a...
...conference room in a building in which one of Cantor's political consultants has an office.

Yeah, the shooter was targeting poor Eric because of his faith alright.

:eyes:

7. In my (limited) experience, police are quick to pass on info that will
allay a "victim's" fears. I think the conversation went like this:


"Good news, Mr. Cantor. We've determined that the bullet that came through the window was fired in the air randomly, and by coincidence came down at a sharp angle through the window."

"I'll pretend I didn't hear that. Now excuse me, I've got to go stand in front of a microphone".

4. He's a fucking opportunist
And he's an idiot too. He could not have conceived that the cops can tell the diff between a randomly fired bullet and an actual targeted shot?

What a moron.

10. Eric Cantor is worst than the girl
When you are an elected Congressman, you are held to a higher standard.

15. well actually he IS different than her-
he's an elected official and in a position of authority.

If indeed the police know that this was not an act of intimidation or intentional violence, shouldn't he be charged?

Shouldn't THEY come out and refute his lie?

Why aren't we calling for that?

I am NOT defending him- please understand that-

Didn't the Police make it clear that what that girl did was wrong? Wasn't she liable to prosecution??

18. we're talking about Eric fucking Cantor?
does it matter what the truth of the matter is? it sure as hell isn't what he is promoting...

one wonders why the 'shot' wasn't fired right away, as in the other matters of vandalism...or not...

if someone, anyone, took a shot at Eric Cantor I would imagine he would truly find it within himself to re-assess his situation....not have a fucking press conference...

19. The Richmond Police Dept says it all..
"The Richmond cops send over a statement:"

The Richmond Police Department is investigating an act of vandalism at the Reagan Building, 25 E. Main St., Richmond, Virginia. A first floor window was struck by a bullet at approximately 1 a.m. on Tuesday, March 23. The building, which has several tenants including an office used by Congressman Eric Cantor, was unoccupied at the time.

A Richmond Police detective was assigned to the case. A preliminary investigation shows that a bullet was fired into the air and struck the window in a downward direction, landing on the floor about a foot from the window. The round struck with enough force to break the windowpane but did not penetrate the window blinds. There was no other damage to the room, which is used occasionally for meetings by the congressman.

The Richmond Police Department is sharing information about the incident with appropriate law enforcement agencies.

At this time there are no suspects.

Cantor said today: “Just recently I have been directly threatened. A bullet was shot through the window of my campaign office in Richmond this week.”

He lies but knows the corporatemedia will let him slide bc the Dems are so mean.

23. Not conclusively. It could have been thrown thru the window
by someone trying to intimidate, or a Cantor staff, or stray bullet.

24. Furthermore, I want to know if it has been down a barrel, And any glass traces,
How far was the glass distributed. Is it a straight shot without overhangs. Why wasnt it reported right away. What bullet. Any purely flat spots from initial glass contact.

26. I feel it is just as likely that the bullet was thrown, therefore, if that were true,
it could be intimidation or a Cantor staffer that did the throwing.

30. This is worse than that...
He is the number 2 republican. He is supposed to be a leader. He's not some little idiot wannabe like this girl.

That's why this is worse.

31. It's too late, Lynne, the Bushiganda PsyOp was successful.
Edited on Thu Mar-25-10 09:34 PM by tom_paine
The entire M$M is shrieking the Bushigandist False-Equivalence Op "parties trade accusations of violence" bit.

Cantor's Lie, which kicked it off, will be barely addressed beyond a few sites and articles that few to none will see. AP's story printed the tiniest blurb about the Richmond Police Reports, without connecting the dots or even mention that IT TOTALLY DEBUNKS CANTOR'S STORY.

And I can almost guarantee that the Cable TV Infoganda will make sure the lie's debunking by the Richmond Police Report, will be seen by so very few.

Bushiganda mission accomplished. There's nothing the Corporate M$M/RW Lie Machine fusion can't cover up. No truth is unobfuscatable. Bushiganda's False Reality Generator cannot be stopped.
