http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2010/03/25/2242250.aspx<snip> *** UPDATE *** DNC Communications Director Brad Woodhouse responds to Cantor: “We disagree with the charge made by Rep. Cantor today that Democrats are using acts of violence for political gain. Let’s be clear: calling on Republican leaders who have contributed in part to this anger by wildly mischaracterizing the substance and motives of health reform to condemn these acts is entirely appropriate. Instead of distracting from the issue with more attacks, we would again ask Mr. Cantor and other Republicans, as we did yesterday, to join Chairman Kaine in working to ratchet down the rhetoric, condemn deplorable behavior and find ways to disagree on these issues without the charged rhetoric that we’ve been hearing from Republican leaders.”

3. WTF are the Democrats suppose to do? Be voiceless victims? |
|
The first thing someone does when they can't deal with a crime is to try to shut up the victim and anyone advocating on their behalf. Screw that. You can't point fingers at Democrats who say STOP when assholes like Palin are using crosshairs on websites. It doesn't work that way and every American with half a brain cell knows this.

4. Good job by the DNC. My response to the TV screen while Cantor was talking |
|
Was far less tactful and contained many cuss words.

5. Pretty good statement. It is hard to believe the Republicans are trying "BLAME THE VICTIM" |
