* EXCLUSIVE: Shot Fired at House Minority Whip Cantor's Richmond Office FOX has learned that the Richmond, VA campaign office of House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) was shot at Monday. Cantor, is the highest-elected Jewish official in the country and the only Jewish Republican in the House. As a member of the House leadership, U.S. Capitol Police provide Cantor with a security detail around the clock. But FOX has learned that Cantor was one of about ten lawmakers Thursday who asked for enhanced protection after a spate of threats were. Most of the threats were directed at House Democrats who voted in favor of the health care reform bill over the weekend. The Department of Homeland Security is involved in the Cantor case because he is a member of the House leadership. Wednesday, Capitol Police Chief Phil Morse, House Sergeant-at-Arms Bill Livingood and FBI officials met with House Democrats behind closed doors Wednesday to discuss security measures. FOX has also obtained a threatening message left Friday on the voicemail of Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH). This is believed to be the first threat against a Republican member. The message contained racial overtones and profane language.

I warned him here that he'd better watch his mouth. "That is reprehensible behavior," said Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va. Better watch your mouth, Eric, or they'll be coming after you, too.

Ahhh, I see how it is. When it suits your purpose, THEN you cite Fox as a source.

Had to make sure THAT got in the story... {{{chuckle}}}
You know something? You're really full of shit. I use sources from everywhere.

As opposed to 'member of the Black Congressional Caucus'? in the unsubstantiated allegations of racial epithets and spitting? (laughing)

I'll take your word for it and retract what I wrote. You do admit that most on your side of the fence don't consider Fox legitimate, right? But I made an assumption, and I should have known better.

Man, Owe-bama sure has united the country in 15 months, eh? (sarcasm setting: EXTREME)

I don't have a "side of the fence". I'm appalled by the actions of both sides. It's just that now the Republican side appears to have crossed over into complete lunatic territory, starting with the birthers and continuing on with the death threats and calling for armed insurrection because they didn't get their way.

Agreed.
Undoubtedly you've obvious refuse to read the link Bill D Berger posted regard 9/11 ... Luberator
This is how Sarah Palin has identified vulnerable Democrats. I'm sure using gun sights is just a coincidence.

You don't at least LEAN to one side? Look - it's okay. I'll admit I lean to the right on most issues, but there are a couple issues in which I am on the left. But I too am appalled by some of the actions by extremists on both sides. While I understand the frustration those on the right (myself included) are feeling now - starting with the unanswered Congressional phones, closed town-meetings, and general unresponsiveness of those who are supposed to be public-servants. Who the hell do they think they are. Our rulers? I understand the frustration, but I can never condone violence. Though I will understand it if and when it occurs. For instance - "Birthers" are an element of the right who say that Obama is a usurper. But in 2000 because of the controversial election, you had just as significant an element on the left who said Bush was a usuper. Hell - here it is, ten years later, and there is a certain poster (who I won't name since he's on my bozzo) who will go bat shit crazy at the mere mention of Bush and 2000. Perhaps it's best for those of us center-right and center-left to try to find some common ground. And leave the extremists to the - well - extremes.

Didn't she say RELOAD on her twitter thingy a day or two ago?
Believe it or not, I voted for Bush in 2000. 2004 too. But after that I went Independent (thank Bush for that) and didn't vote for anybody for pres in 2008.

So what? Sheesh Fred. If I state 'we're going to kill the Democrats come November' does that mean I'm stating a plot to murder them, literally? Come on, you know thats absurd, no matter how much we disagree. At least I think you do.

I don't know. Since she's now getting ready to make millions with her My Alaska series I wonder if she even pays any attention to what her PAC does anymore.

Hate to admit it, but I did, too. (back in those days, I still believed in the lesser of two evils and I was basically voting against Gore and Kerry, respectively.) Stopped thinking that way, though, and voted for Bob Barr in '08

I went through the catharisis that your currently experiencing with the national GOP around 1995.

First time that I did not vote the LP candiate since 1992...but...the LP had long been flirting with Barr...it's indicative of the semi incestuous relationship between the LP and GOP down in Georgia...

it would not surprise me if tea partiers were too dumb to realize that Cantor opposed HCR. Or they are still pissed because he voted for Medicare Part D.
Being a Republican means you get to choose your own reality.
It's the Catholics that should be __ot at.

Here's another version of the story 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. http://richmondvapolice.blogspot.com/2010/03/richmond-police-investigate-cantor.html
Jewish official? Racial overtones? Oh now I know this just had to of been Al Sharpton...if you really want to get rediculous, and obsured, makes about as much sense as what the crazy, rabid leftys are thinking! sarc/
A) Use the edit feature. B) It wasn't Sharpton it was Fox News.

What kills me is we all know intellectually damn near every Congresscritter and Senator gets threats every single week of the year, for a variety of reasons. Acting like this week is 'unusual' for phone threats is ridiculous. Thats not to downplay the real, physical incidents that have been documented. That IS unusual. But its not coincident its happening in the wake of Sunday's vote.

Geezus fuck Boofer...WILL YOU STOP... But its not coincident its happening in the wake of Sunday's vote. And use the goddam edit feature...your last statement is a mess...

I honestly don't think that's the case. The reason it appears that way is because the roles are reversed. The information sources that we trust cover seemingly similar situations very differently - depending on their slant.
