7. because he's a lasagna lipped liar
another freak on CNN I cannot stomach.

and just now one of his sidekicks (could have been his wife Dana BAsh) was tsk tsking about a letter from a democratic organization that went out asking for donations and recounting some of these incidents of threats and violence.

THAT was way more adhorent to them than the threats we have heard, the white powder. etc.

23. lol. he's got that ripply lip thing going that I don't like.
if he weren't as asshole I would't have even noticed.

but this this confirms how deep CNNs 'journalists' investigation took them. They just took Cantors word without any kind of fact checking at all.

They probably know by now the story is suspicious but won't correct it or they were in on it from the get go.

despicable they are *slobbers when I say dispicable - there was an old cartoony cat (snagglepuss?) tht did that. hah

25. they no exactly what they are doing
Edited on Thu Mar-25-10 08:42 PM by rufus dog
They talked about how disgusting it was for Dems to fundraise off of these issues, completely ignoring the douchebag Baby Killer yeller and You Lie Wilson fundraising. Then later Dana and John talked about the big fucking deal comment and said "the president liked the statement, in fact he said it should be made into a t-shirt." Then made the comment "maybe they can fundraise using the t-shirt.

They are purposely spreading misinformation just like fox.

3.  mediawhore..
"The Richmond cops send over a statement:"

The Richmond Police Department is investigating an act of vandalism at the Reagan Building, 25 E. Main St., Richmond, Virginia. A first floor window was struck by a bullet at approximately 1 a.m. on Tuesday, March 23. The building, which has several tenants including an office used by Congressman Eric Cantor, was unoccupied at the time.

A Richmond Police detective was assigned to the case. A preliminary investigation shows that a bullet was fired into the air and struck the window in a downward direction, landing on the floor about a foot from the window. The round struck with enough force to break the windowpane but did not penetrate the window blinds. There was no other damage to the room, which is used occasionally for meetings by the congressman.

The Richmond Police Department is sharing information about the incident with appropriate law enforcement agencies.

At this time there are no suspects.

"Cantor said today: “Just recently I have been directly threatened. A bullet was shot through the window of my campaign office in Richmond this week.”

15. There are a lot of things we don't know here---the caliber of the spent slug, the thickness of the
window glass and whether or not it was tempered, the extent of deformation of the slug, etc.

It sounds VERY possible, given what we do know, that this was a random accidental event; a weapon fired a from a great distance away without any intent to damage Cantor's window. EITHER the spent round was falling nearly straight down after having been fired high up into the air OR it simply did not strike the glass until it was nearly totally spent, having enough "punch" left to just barely break the window, but not make it past the window blinds.

Neither of these events comes close to the "direct threat" claimed by Mr. Cantor, but, hey: "Both sides do it!"

I don't think it is likely that any of the bricks or rocks that broke out Democrats' windows were accidentally heaved from several blocks away.

4. People will remember and believe the first thing they hear...
Most people, anyway. That gives these freaks an in... get the wrong word out as long as they can get away with it!

Many Pubbies still think there were WMD, even though W finally said there weren't... just one in a never-ending string of examples.

6. He was the victim of an irresponsible gun owner discharging a gun in the air
With no regard for where the bullet would end up. I child was shot and and killed in my area last year in a similar incident.

10. What is wrong with CNN these days???? Are they trying to compete with Fox News?
They have gone from bad to worse over the last few days. . .
And what's really bad, is that until now, most of those people were thought about as "fair" and "unbiased"
So. . .when they give half the story or biased stories. . .more people listen!

19. They lie with intent. They know they're lying and it's deliberate.
Because it will have the effect of getting the woefully uninformed members of their base (i.e. 97%) repeating it and causing a lot of noise to drowned out real discussion.

Fuckers.

21. Reminds me of CNNs Barbara Starr reporting that an Iraqi WOMAN had been raped and murdered
Edited on Thu Mar-25-10 07:33 PM by NNN0LHI
Even though all the reputable news services had already reported months earlier that she was a 14-year old girl.

CNN sucks.

20. Given the angle of the bullet when it hit the window I
have a obvious suspect.

So Rep. Cantor what did you do to piss the Almighty off?
