4. He says Chris Van Hollen and Tim Kaine are inciting the violence!
By publicizing these incidents and "politicizing" them. Hokay, Cantor ... you just made this worse by turning this around and attacking the targets of the violence.

23. It sounded from the report I just read as though this took place a while ago.
Not necessarily having anything to do with HCR, it sounded like. It's possible. Maybe one of his Republican colleagues took a shot at him when they were running for Minority Whip.

9. He knows damn well that the media will now talk about this
supposed incident of a bullet through the VA office last week. The republicans are doing the only thing they can - try to turn this around on the Dems. 'They do it, too. We just don't make a big deal about it.'

10. Just FYI... CNN did not broadcast the initial portion of Cantor's speech
CNN only showed the portion of Cantor's speech where he sounded reasonable and did not blame Dems.. Though all the commentators were careful to say.."Well from what I heard" it sounded reasonable.. :(

13. well, I don't doubt that he's received threats
the nazis still pull that shit. I have too many Jewish friends who tell me the same.

But to say the Dems are trying to make political hay out of this = I think Cantor is an asshat.

14. It would be interesting whether he reported it to the Police.
Or are we just supposed to take his word?

17. If he doesn't report it to the FBI or some other LE agency...
...then he's blowing smoke.

I mean, he's blowing smoke.

18. Morning Joe is going to be disappointed. He says Real Men (R's)
don't disclose these events. That's just for crybaby Dems.

20. Cantor's claiming that someone shot at his office

House Majority Whip Eric Cantor, right, said a bullet was shot through the window of his office in Richmond, Virginia.

Rep. Eric Cantor, the number two Republican in the House of Representatives, said Thursday that a bullet had been shot through a window at his district office in Richmond, Virginia. He also said he had received threatening messages.

He said he would not publicly release the messages out of concern that doing so would only incite further violence.

He also accused Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine and Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland - a member of the Democratic House leadership - of "fanning the flames" of violence by using threats that have been made against Democratic members "as political weapons."

And the FR has started their stupid retoric about this:

Democrat politicians inciting their constituency to violence and now there has been shots fired. Any linkage or just a very unlikely coincidence?
