[Mr. Wright]

I will watch NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, or MSNBC tonight and get all the details on this story - - hahahahahahahahah
I just made a joke!!! They will give this story about 5 seconds if they give it any time at all. However, if this arrest was because of a threat to Jesse Jackson Jr, or Barney Frank, it would undoubtedly be the lead story on all of the evening news!!!

[McGruff]

Just heard this on the 1/2 hour radio news update.

[GeronL]

What kind of idiot would post a threat as a Youtube video?

never mind

[cripplecreek]

LOL

[JerseyDvl]

The MSM’s desire to see violence is going to end up getting someone killed.
As of right now, they are the most seditious agitators in the USA.
If there is a “revolution” it should be to overthrow the propagandist talking heads rather than the government.

[tirednvirginia]

I think this might ha been part of the “right Wing Militia” groups they raided this weekned.

This probably was anti-Jewish thing.

[Lazamataz]

Didn't the police recently find that a bullet shot into a Republican lawmaker's campaign office was 'accidental' just by looking at it?

I think the MSM can determine accident or intent by the affiliation of the lawmaker.

[BallyBill]

It depends on what "threat" is.

Us angry people may call it a threat, but it may just be a "parody" or "comedy", the typical Hollywood Left Wing answer to anything hateful that comes from that aisle.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Hope they arrest the guy making death threats to Sarah and her family on Twitter, too.

[Jewbacca]

Jooos aren’t allowed out of the Democrat Ghetto.

Double-bad-act.

[jiggyboy]

With Fox’s (world) record of inaccuracy in breaking news stories, they’d be right to wait for a second source.

[kristinn]

The perp's name is Norman Leboon. A quick search shows some weirdness out there.

TPM has the statement from the U.S. Attorney for Philadelphia and a supporting affidavit:

SNIP

4. On March 26, 2010, the FBI, San Francisco Division, received a copy of a video that had been removed from the internet website YouTube. The video included images of a white male, later identified as NORMAN LEBOON, making threats against United States Congressman Eric Cantor, 7th Congressional District - Virginia. The video appeared to be homemade and was of good quality. The face of the white male can clearly be seen. statements:

5. During the video NORMAN LEBOON made the following "My Congressman Eric Cantor, and you and your cupcake evil wife..." "Remember Eric...our judgment time, the final Yom Kippur has been given. You are a liar, you're a Lucifer, you're a pig, a greedy ****ing pig, you're an abomination, you receive my bullets in your office, remember they will be placed in your heads. You and your children are Lucifer's abominations." (edited by Kristinn for clarity, profanity.)

SNIP

[MrChips]

No, they won’t. But I did send them today the giant VOLENCE AGAINST REPUBLICANS list that I posted a few days ago.

[Sal]

This was obviously just a stray threat that hit Cantor randomly, probably meant for someone else.

We're all having a good time ridiculing the commie dopes, but if you remember back, they actually did the same thing when a nutcase got all the way into Tom Delay's office in the Capitol and shot two policemen on the way in. IIRC one of those cops INSIDE TOM DELAY'S OFFICE killed or seriously injured the perp--enough to stop him.

Then the idiots put out a news story that the perp was probably REALLY after Gephardt. It was obvious that that was true too. After all, there was a stairway near Delay's office that led to Gephardt's office which was on a different floor...

[jlaughlin]

The MSM Mantra:

Liberals cannot be portrayed as kooks.

Blacks cannot be portrayed as conservatives.

[faq]

I heard on the news that the shot that hit his office was just “randomly fired.” Wow, what a coincidence to first be targeted randomly and now this. Maybe this threat was directly randomly at Cantor too.

[kristinn]

The clean up has already begun.

This YouTube video is gone, only the search return remains:

Yes, a stray bullet, perhaps fired in celebration at a Taliban wedding.

[trisham]

Yikes. What an awful thing to do.

[b4its2late]

One of the FR threads says the guys a white muslim.
