HAHAHA! MSNBC just reported Cantor was NOT targeted!

[jenmito]

We knew that since yesterday, but it's good to see someone in the MSM reporting on it, that it was a "stray bullet" according to the police report, not an attempted attack on Cantor because he's Jewish, trying to say the violence is "on both sides." :eyes:

[SteppingRazor]

1. Joe Scarborough got corrected on this point by his own producer this morning.

He tried to do the bullshit "both sides" thing and mentioned Cantor, but then Mica interrupted and said something like "I'm being told that the police say the bullet actually..." etc., etc.

[jenmito]

4. Yeah! I saw that, too! Joe quickly went past that point as if she never said it. n/t

[monmouth]

5. Too bad MJ didn't mention this from 6:00 a.m. Mika kicked Joe under

the table a couple of times and he really got angry with her. I know she did it because he was going on and on with his Cantor BS and promoting the lie. They all knew it wasn't true, uncle pat also. I had to turn it off...

[flpoljunkie]

28. Mika needs to kick him more! He's insufferable!

[bigwillq]

2. Just saw it.

ha ha :rofl:

[Gman2]

3. I do not agree and heres why

Since it hit the window at some unknown trajectory, it could have been shot up, or thrown by hand. If it was thrown by hand, it could have been meant as intimidation, Or it could have been a sympathy move, bya some staffer or friend. Until test have been done, to determine whether it had been fired, and how recently, there is NO WAY to tell if it was either of the three possibilities. If it was a staffer, that should result in Cantors destruction.

SO, There SHOULD be further testing of the bullet. I smell tamping down.

[monmouth]

6. Call CSI-Virginia, they have a forensics unit......HA!..n/t

[vaberella]

10. Imagine that show!? CSI- Virginia. n/t

[SteppingRazor]

7. It's pretty easy to tell whether a bullet's been fired or thrown just by looking at it...

and in any case, I think it'd be pretty hard to break a window by lobbing a bullet at it.

[Gman2]

11. Nope, it could have been shot, retrieved, than thrown.

Course, my most likely scenario, given the known evidence, is staffer thrown, to elicit sympathy, and cover.

[SteppingRazor]

12. lol. n/t

[kestrel91316]

41. If so, then why not at his ACTUAL office instead of a building that houses

several offices, none of which are his? That's one STOOPID staffer, lol.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. They were throwing bullets at him?

Isn't that a bit from some goofy comedy movie?

[Gman2]

14. Not at all, if you were going to do something that illegal, would you rather go blam, or throw?

Since he is leadership, the FBI is SUPPOSED to get involved.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

15. I wouldn't throw bullets.

Gman2, that's just fucking stupid.

[Gman2]

16. I would, and that is exactly how a thrown bullet would act.

Bust the window, and fall.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

17. Yeah, I bet you would.

[Control-Z]

19. This is possibly

the first time I have ever agreed with you, HiFructosePronSyrup. Throwing bullets? Sounds pretty silly to me.

[Gman2]

20. Do you think that plumbers are not smarter than you?

[kestrel91316]

42. Hey, I've actually found myself in agreement with him at least TWICE

in recent weeks, lol.

[Dappleganger]

23. Throwing bullets

Didn't happen.

Rocks, bricks, ball bearings get thrown.
Bullets will not be wasted except via a gun chamber.

[Gman2]

24. How do you know that?

[Cosmocat]

21. Forest and trees alert ...

Look, the fact that it wasnt't fired directly at the building is the secondary issue ...

The PRIMARY issue to drive here is that it was NOT HIS OFFICE, it wasn't even in his district ...

No one needs CSI here, what is needed is FOCUS and keeping it as simple as possible for repetition and not allowing the Rs and MSM to squirl out from under it ...

[Gman2]

22. Why do you need focus? There is a thing called the FBI.

[Qutzupalotl]

27. Why do you need the FBI to understand that it wasn't Cantor's office?

Simplify.

[dgibby]

25. According to police reports,

it hit the window at a downward trajectory, with enough velocity to break the window, but not enough to penetrate the window blinds.

[Gman2]

29. That is an assumption, due to a broken window, and a bullett that didnt go thru the blinds.

Nothing more.

[mscuedawg]

31. It worked (for a while) for the girl beaten and scratched the "B" in her face during the campaign...

...and the emails...if you dont HAVE any threatening emails...you can't turn them over... :popcorn:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

32. The GOP are going to great lengths

they are using all sorts of excuses to offset the fact that 'their people' are terrorists.

[Cha]

35. And, mediawhores like joe scarborough are helping them..

Morning Joe - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28437928 /

[Rosa Luxemburg]

43. somebody should get rid of scarborough

he is awful Imus was better and that is saying something

[HughMoran]

33. I thought of the throwing aspect too - seems unlikely the bullet would simply be sitting on floor

just below window. Not that we'll likely ever know, nor does it matter much IMO. There will be many more incidents to distract us in in the future.

[ProSense]

9. Did they mention that

the building isn't even in his district?

Cantor should be reprimanded for this blatant lie.

[jenmito]

13. No. They sure SHOULD have!

Shuster is usually good with these things. He must've known.

[Glimmer of Hope]

26. Maybe someone should tell him!

[gkhouston]

38. It's the capital of Virginia. It wouldn't be that odd for Cantor to have something there. n/t

[CakeGrrl]

18. Sucks when they can't contradict a police report.

:rofl:

[rufus dog]

30. Anyone on CNN yet

I have a self imposed time out from TV today so I haven't been watching.

[Cha]

34. THANKFULLY! sorry for the

caps but that's how I feel. YAY!:bounce: Sweet justice..now tweety has to retract tonight..I would hope since I heard he went with cantor's story yesterday.

[Cha]

36. Contact for morninig joe ..call them on his blatant bullshit

Morning Joe - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28437928 /

[jenmito]

37. Mika mentioned it already this morning.

Joe just kind of kept going, as if she never said it.

[Cha]

39. Right..I mean contact him and let him know

that we know. Be nice if msnbc got a lot of letters protesting his lies.

:hi:

[jenmito]

40. Oh, ok...

sounds good. Will do! :hi:

[DCKit]

44. Ouch, that's going to hurt.

When the MSM turns on you, it ain't gonna be pretty - Republic stock down 500 points today.

On Edit:

Cantor is a serious sleazebag from day one. I've always had a problem with the fact that he was elected from Northern VA.... they stole it. Before Cantor, there was a far larger Democratic, legal immigrant population, and they know better.
