Source: MSNBC - just got done speaking.

Simply astounding - it's now somehow OUR fault for TELLING OTHERS of the DEATH THREATS and VIOLENCE against us!

2. They better realize we won't go down easily

I WILL protect me and mine. Crazy bastids. They best go chill. They do NOT want to rile the other side.

4. His head must spin around 360 degrees on his neck.

I've never heard of such spin.

What a complete fucking douchebag.

5. How does this jibe with te other post about HIS office being fired on?

I wish I had the power to scream "STOP!" and make people listen. The hatred being spewed, and not only by the RW (conceded it's apparently the vast majority) is terrifying, and tragedy is almost certain if it continues.

6. And it was the Jews' fault that the brownshirts broke all those windows the night of

Kristallnacht. If they just hadn't complained so bitterly about their mistreatment by the Nazis up 'til then...........

7. Especially interesting analogy as of this morning

Seeing how Cantor, the highest-ranking elected Jewish politician in the US (unless I'm mistaken), had his office shot at last night and has asked for increased protection. Wonder if he'll change his tune now.

12. Highest ranking in the GOP.

There are plenty of Jewish Democrats, Schumer coming first to mind.

8. That is some fucked up reasoning right there!

:crazy:

Which is why I remain skeptical...

9. From TPM: Cantor: It's The Democrats Who Are Fanning The Flames of Violence (VIDEO)

House Minority Whip Eric Cantor just gave a brief speech accusing Democrats of using reports of recent threats of violence for political gain, and saying someone shot a bullet through the window of his campaign office this week.

"I've received threats since I assumed elected office, not only because of my positions, but because i am Jewish," Cantor said. "I've never blamed anyone in this body for that. Period. Any suggestion that a leader in this body that would incite threats or acts against other members is akin to saying that i would endanger myself, my wife or my children."

Cantor said a bullet was shot through the window of his Richmond, Va., campaign office this week, and that he's gotten threatening emails.

"I will not release them because I believe such actions will only encourage more to be sent," he said.

He said to do so -- as some Democratic lawmakers have done -- would be reckless.

"It is reckless to use these incidents as media vehicles for political gain," he said. He called out DCCC Chair Chris Van Hollen and DNC Chair Tim Kaine by name as those who are "dangerously fanning the flames by suggesting that these incidents be used as a political weapon."

10. Eff Cantor and the horse he rode in on.

[Omaha Steve]

11. Didn't a young "R" lady take a knife to her face to blame "D's" awhile back?

The party of fear is making good on their slogan. Fear them!

13. Does Cantor beat his wife?

He seems to be very practiced at that style of blaming the victim.
