The guy who threatened Cantor ALSO threatened Obama, Babe the Pig, and others
Edited on Tue Mar-30-10 11:25 AM by jenmito
The guy, Leboon, is nuts. But, of course, this is being touted as only an attack on Cantor so the media can claim that "both sides do it." This morning on Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski made a big deal about the threat on Cantor's life, using it to "ask" if it's being portrayed fairly in the media, or if only the attacks on DEMS. are being covered. She went on to place a little doubt on some of the threats on Dems., using the Repub. line that there was no video proof of some of these slurs. So I sent her this message via twitter:

@morningmika Why did you ignore the fact that Leboon, who threatened Cantor, also threatened Obama?: http://tinyurl.com/y8kzm9p

Here's the article about the different threats: http://washingtonindependent.com/80811/norman-leboon-a-threatening-kind-of-guy

1. Mika does not have much of a brain so...
There was proof that one Congressman was spat on. There is proof that Lewis was called the n word. There are videos of these incidents.
And the Leboon guy threatened everyone and everything. The media IS for the most part blatantly biased against Dems. It is obvious.

5. I know...
someone else on the show told her that there was evidence of one of the events re: Dems., and said something about how the congressman wouldn't lie. She agreed, but that didn't stop her from her meme that threats to Repubs. aren't being reported or covered like threats to Dems. are. (And that's because there is no equivalency.)

3. They are making a bi deal out of this.g
And they finally arrested the guy, not after he threatened Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and other democrats. They waited til he threatened a republican. Looks like we know where the FBI and the secret service loyalties lie. If I were Obama, I would weed the chaff out, we don't need people who are supposed to protect the president and congress only respond if it is a republican.

How about the blogger, who puts up his name and said someone should put a bullet in Obama's head. He's still running his blog. How more specific can you get than that. And I know from watching the detective shows on discovery that you can find phone numbers even if they are blocked. And when a demented butt of a woman calls and tells you child she is going to kill your father WHY IN HELL ISN'T SHE IN JAIL.
I WOULDN'T TRUST ONE OF THE SECRET SERVICE OR FBI AGENTS TO FIND THE SWEAT ON SOMEONE BUTT WHEN IT WAS STARING THEM IN THE FACE.

7. Yup...
it's all in the name of looking "fair and balanced" like "both sides" do it equally which is false.

9. Also, TPM is reporting:
http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2010/03/rolling_out_the_big_gun.php?ref=fpblg

"The Philadelphia man charged with threatening to kill Rep. Eric Cantor and his family was arrested last year for allegedly threatening to have the angel Gabriel kill his roommate."
