Cantor's Office Claims Ignorance In Pumping Up Random Shot Incident

Once again, Cantor didn't know what he was talking about. But that's okay. He makes it up as he goes along with complete disregard for reality anyway.

Liar. He'd be better served to not say anything, but his guilty conscience can't help it.

At what point did he realize that it was not actually his office but the office downstairs? Noodnick!

The problem with the GOP is that their *mouths* randomly fire.

DICTIONARY-Eric Cantor= Lying Pencil Neck Geek

THEY ARE THE EVIL THAT LURKS WITHIN

The undeniable political, intellectual and ethical decay, dishonesty and malevolence of the deviant and disgraceful Republican lunatic fringe is destroying today's Republican Party. Hooray!

LYING and HYPOCRISY and PROVOCATION and MALICIOUS FALSE ACCUSATIONS are their weapons of choice because HONESTY and FAIRNESS and TRUTH and FACTS expose their incompetence, malfeasance, mendacity and immoral bigotries and anti-social prejudices.

They have nothing to offer America but FEAR and HATRED and DIVISIVENESS.

They are the parasites sucking the lifeblood from the heart and soul of everything decent, kind and redeeming about the American people, American society and American participatory government.

Their selfishness, mean-spirits, lack of compassion and willful destructiveness toward the lives of others, while professing to be “Christians”, have won out over any humane impulses, logical reasonableness, social responsibility or constructive moral values they once might have harbored.

Now, all they have is the blindingly immature emotional rage of a spoiled child whose toys have been taken away who refuses to share them with his brothers and sisters because they are black, Hispanic, underemployed, unemployed, poor, homeless, ill and or purely because they are Democrats because they lost their legislative majorities and a presidential election and can’t cope with the realities of the American democratic process.

ALL THAT’S NECESSARY TO DEFEAT TODAY’S REPUBLICANS IS TO EXPOSE THEIR NEVER-ENDING LIES, LIES, LIES!!!!

**Cantor said his own campaign office had been shot at and that he had received threatening e-mails this week, but didn't elaborate. He said he would not release the e-mails "because I believe such actions will encourage more to be sent."**

Cantor also faulted Democrats threatened or vandalized by right wing nut jobs, for disclosing they had been attacked...

I believe I can paraphrase that quote;

"You know, what is America coming to when you don't have the freedom to break the law and stay anonymous..." ;^)

During the Summit, Cantor insisted "We just can't afford it". CBO: "bill is a deficit reducer..."

The guy is beyond demagogue. He is an obvious liar for corrupt insurance profiteers.

Eric Cantor continues to spin this unintentional incident as violence directed towards him. While in reality is should be taken as wake-up call for better gun regulation.

Cantor might lose some gun nut votes if he can't explain why he doesn't know how bullet trajectories work. Maybe he still has time to repair the damage if he can stage a hunt photo op before his next election.

There are two words in Yiddish that perfectly describe that which Cantor is:
A Schmuck and a Shmegegge. He is a perfect balance of the two.

Did he know that his office was out of his district?

I don't doubt that he has had offensive calls and that is wrong but there is a background level of threats for any public official. It's when the Geiger counter goes off the charts that you have a problem and that is what the Republican run Tea Baggers have been inciting. Cantor is attempting to defend them and making a fool of himself in the process.

That voice recording sounded like Michael Steele.

Can you spell P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C, Slime?

Eric Can't or Won't

Here's another credibility problem for Cantor's story: a bullet came through the window, yes, but with so little force that it BOUNCED OFF the blinds and fell to the floor.

How in the world can anybody above the age of 3 credibly describe that as "a bullet was shot through my window"? Dude. If a bullet was *shot* through your window, don't you think just maybe it would have penetrated the bleedin' window blinds?

That Dana Bash is willing to accept "the police investigation wasn't complete" as a reasonable explanation of a bullet that didn't even penetrate a set of blinds testifies to just how credulous she is. I mean, it takes about 3 seconds of actual thought to realize Cantor's story is shinola. Literally, 3 seconds.

That's not to say Bash is unusual. All the DC media are the same way. They're utterly cynical, but not in the least skeptical; and I don't think they know the difference, much less that one is the energetic, proactive mindset of a reporter and the other is just mental surrender.

Cantor was so anxious to have a "threat incident" that the Republicans could use against the Democrats that he jumped at the chance to use this. I suppose that if I saw a bullet hole in a window at an office of mine, I might think the same way, although he was so hot to trot to hold his press conference for its political benefit, that he failed to see what the police thought about it. It still looks like Democrats (all the threats) Republicans (no threats).

Cantor won't know if his support was random until after the next election...

Hey Eric what else don't you know........????? I can give you a hint it comes out of a hole in between you glutious maximus!

I got stuck about the part where the bullet doesn't penetrate the blinds. Still stuck there. I mean, do bullets get tired? Dirty Harry would never use a bullet like that. Kind of embarrassing, I mean, if you were that bullet. What would the other bullets say?

THis guy CAN'Tor is such a geek. You just know he was ridiculed unrelentingly on the school yard. WHAT A FRICKIN GEEK! Mamas boy......coward. This is the future of the Republican party. Man the Dems are in for great things if this is what we have to deal with. A quick flip and this gnat is in the trash where he belongs.

The only thing missing was a backward "B" scratched into Cantor's cheek and his asserting that a "black man" was seen leaving the area in a car with an Obama bumper sticker.

What a fucking MORON.

Cantor's office can "claim ignorance" as an explanatory escape clause for pretty much everything that Cantor does and says.

Eric Cantor, the mean spirited, stupid, ignorant Barney Fife of the U.S. Congress.

Thus, Cantor lied. Police never told him it was a "direct threat" and the location wasn't his campaign office.

Hey, I was the guy that spit, used the N word and called Barney Frank a faggot...but my actions were just random!!

The truth will not set Eric Cantor free. He is a typical republican. Im sure the Jewish community is thrilled to have such a wonderful spokesperson.

Calling a press conference to talk about something you don't know anything about is pretty much par for the course for Mr. Cantor. He was about as informed about the shooting as he is about everything else.

This hilarious episode deserves its own movie. Even if it's only one minute long.

So here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlHsc78LHDY

A cheat-and-retreat drama queen.

The drama queen Cantor forgot to reveal....former Veep Dick Cheney was bird hunting in his neighborhood. That random shot came from sharp shooter Dick Cheney....the same dick that has 4 OUI's and at least 4 military deferments from having to serve in Viet Nam. The studs of the Republican Party are really something....Eric Cantor was a cheerleader in high school.

The Daily Show and SNL are going to have a field day with this....along with Palin's appearance in Arizona for that man without brain John McCain.

Is there video? If not then it never happened.

According to the police, the bullet had so little force by the time that it cracked the window the window blinds were enough to stop it. If staffers had actually been using that office at the time, (Not likely since it's only rented for meetings.) they would have known that this wasn't "an attack".

Cantor got caught in an amazingly pathetic lie.

It would appear that before one of these elected officials go in front of a TV camera, that perhaps they should actually check the facts. In the 24/7 media and legislators trying to keep up, we have all seen the erroneous claims go viral.

Recently Druge and Politico released a supposed memo about the DEM talking point about HCR and had to pull it off their websites, but not before a legislator stood and quoted it as fact because they had read it from Politico.

All of the media and legislators appear so anxious to make an outrageous claim, that it does appear that the tail is wagging the dog.

When will all of these professionals start behaving, ah, like professionals. For the record, I am not holding my breathe!

A Jack Handey quote is needed here: "To me, truth is not some vague, foggy notion. Truth is real. And, at the same time, unreal. Fiction and fact and everything in between, plus some things I can't remember, all rolled into one big 'thing'. This is truth, to me."

"Richmond Police spokesman Gene Lepley"

Not that it may matter too much in this story, but Lepley is a former news anchor in Richmond and, per personal communication with him, a very biased GOP shill.

Look, I despise the way this balanced out the Tea Bag violence as much as anyone, but there is that other shoe out there. Consider that at the same time, Rep. Cantor's office probably knew about the violent YouTube video and had probably been contacted about Mr. Leboon threatening Cantor and his whole family. Some staffer could have come in, seen the broken window, wet himself, called police, and hid in a closet until the cops showed up. I'm just annoyed that the foreign-owned Faux News gets away clean again.
