Obama Donor Charged in Death Threat Against House GOP Whip Cantor

Did Barack Obama inspire one of his donors to threaten a top GOP lawmaker?

Norman Leboon, Sr, the man reported to have been arrested for making a death threat video against House Minority Whip Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) and Cantor's family is listed by the Federal Elections Commission as having made two donations to the presidential campaign of Barack Obama in 2008.

According to the FEC, the donations were made on successive days in June 2008, on the 20th for $255 and on the 21st for $250. There are no other federal election campaign contributions listed for Leboon.

Just a week before Leboon made his contributions, Obama spoke in Leboon's hometown of Philadelphia on June 13, where he urged his supporters to "bring a gun" to the political battles against their opponents:

" If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun. Because from what I understand, folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans."

In September 2008, Obama told his supporters to argue with his opponents and get in their faces.

Thanks. I always believe in erring on the side of caution when identifying private individuals in a public forum.

That photo of his kids (who look like they may still be under 21) seems a bit over the top, for instance. Leboon hasn’t even been put on trial yet, much less found guilty. His kids still deserve some privacy.

As spoken by “Malone,” Sean Connery’s character in “The Untouchables:”

“You wanna know how to get Capone? They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. *That’s* the *Chicago* way! And that’s how you get Capone. Now do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that? I’m offering you a deal. Do you want this deal?”

I’m with you on being sure the right person has been identified. That’s why I make a point of following links and/or doing my own digging around.
And that’s what I love about FR. Nothing’s taken for granted. And in this case, it’s verified, hands down.

I’m also with you that posting the kids’ picture wasn’t a good idea. They weren’t a part of this.

It seems odd to me that someone would make TWO contributions on successive days but no other contributions. And this happens right after attending an Obama rally. Could it be that the money wasn't Leboon's and that he was just the courier for Soros money handed to him at the rally to contribute to Obama?

Crazy people do irrational things. This guy is nuttier than a Stuckey's Pecan Log. Their attention span for some things is short, and they persevorate on others.

The guy went to an Obama rally, falls in love with Obama and makes a donation. Nothing else catches his attention the next day, so he still loves Obama and makes another donation.

On the third day, maybe Nickelodeon was playing a Ren and Stimpy marathon that captured his attention and Obama was forgotten. Or maybe with his newfound love for Obama, the nut goes on the net to learn more about him, his religious affiliations and mentors. That sucks him in for months, or whatever length of time, and he decides to go the Jeremiah Wright route and make his own hate videos.

Crazy people are unpredictable and it's difficult to figure out rationale for their actions

Or maybe he was given money by Soros handlers and donated to BO's campaign in his name.

Let me guess what the commies (libs) will say. “There are crazy people everywhere, and he isn`t reprsentative of Obama supporters.”

Yikes...

"It's BS! We will NOT walk away, or take this lying down! President Barrack Obama you thought that a few simple words saying; "I support gays- and I disagree with Pastor Warren on this issue would fix it"... Rick Warren is our Nemesis and this is WAR! Please visit my Blog to hear my thoughts on this issue! http://leboon1653.wordpress.com/ Thank you,you're GAY Brother, Norman LeBoon Sr."

"Let me get right to the point. Your invitation to Reverend Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at your inauguration is a genuine blow to LGBT Americans. Our loss in California over the passage of Proposition 8 which stripped loving, committed same-sex couples of their given legal right to marry is the greatest loss our community has faced in 40 years. And by inviting Rick Warren to your inauguration, you have tarnished the view that gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans have a place at your table."

aI’m totally with you. A skeptic by nature, every story that sounds too good or conclusion reached super-fast makes me want to backtrack and examine its suppositions.

Like this guy ... FWIW, TPM is reporting that Leboon was an equal-opportunity crazy-threat maker:
“A sampling of his “work” reveals rambling incoherent videos that mix pseudo-religious incantations with random warnings and threats. In one video he addresses President Obama, Vice President Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid by name and says, “Your punishment is coming, the swine, it will be severe, and you will beg for mercy to your god, it will be severe, you will know god’s swine, god has warned you.””

So he was picked up in the wake of the Cantor bullet-hits-the-office-window investigation, but he’d been making these video threats by the hogshead weight.

http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2010/03/what_to_make_of_norman_leboon.php#more

So he wasn’t just an Obama donator who hated Cantor - he was an Obama donator who hated Obama! Maybe he was p#ssed he didn’t get his money’s worth.

Leboon's a total nutcase, no doubt about it. There's another link in this thread where he threatened Eric Holder, too.

He probably is ticked because he doesn't think Obama and his cronies have gone far enough.
And I get the feeling a lot of the "attacks" against other Dems are people of like mind. The tactics they've used are way too similar to the lefties' tactics used against the Pubbies during Bush's terms as President.

I'm just glad they've gotten this guy off the streets. From what I've seen of his postings, he could go off in a split second and seriously hurt, or kill, someone.
