Josh Marshall leveled a ridiculous attack on Eric Cantor the other day saying that, “Cantor’s behavior is shameful beyond imagining” in trying to say the violence and threats of violence against Congressmen is bipartisan.
Numerous others on the left took up Josh Marshall’s attacks on Cantor urging Cantor be condemned. Some members of the House, including Alan Grayson, urged Eric Cantor to resign for his press conference.
Let’s follow the left’s logic here: the words of the right incited violence against Democrats.
Well, their too clever by half arguments are coming back to bite them today. From Josh Marshall’s own website today we learn the United States Attorney in Philadelphia filed “a two-count complaint and warrant . . . charging Norman Leboon with threatening to kill United States Congressman Eric Cantor and his family, and threatening to kill Congressman Eric Cantor.”
So Josh, using your own arguments and logic, shouldn’t you be openly apologizing to Eric Cantor for inciting violence against him and his family?
No, of course not. But then neither should the GOP be on defense and apologizing.
Laura Ingraham, by the way, points out that the indictee is an Obama donor.

This is the new/old Progressive game
Scope (Diary) Monday, March 29th at 1:33PM EDT (link)As Vassar has said on his diary, every stinking one of these liberals needs to be exposed, and brought to justice LOUDLY.
No one ever gave credit to these thugs for having any brains. I swear they recruit these people out of the nearest crack houses. This jerk posted his hateful message on facebook, along with saying that he was the one who shoot bullets at Cantor’s office.
Now, I am still waiting to hear the details of the investigation of the grill gas line cut at Perriello’s brothers house. I make you a bet, it never comes up again, and the whole story is drooped. It was used for the Progressives purposes. When Perriello is back in the district, he lives in a freakin mobile home, that is parked on his brother’s driveway. He has listed his brothers home phone number as his own. Now he cries because family members should never be targeted, conveniently forgetting that that is his “residence” address in the district. You remember the judge that ruled that homeless people could use park bench numbers for voting addresses.
Being a liberal means never having to say you're sorry
Adjoran (Diary) Monday, March 29th at 2:39PM EDT (link)It’s just assumed.
Besides, if Josh Marshall had to apologize for every false statement he made, he would have no time to issue new false statements, which could create a shortage of falsehoods for the left to sustain themselves. They’d have to take to the streets, etc.
Scarey
bkeyser Monday, March 29th at 2:41PM EDT (link)I’ve pointed this out elsewhere but I’m hoping to at least make people aware. After seeing Sarah Palin’s rifle scope (or laser-targets for smart bombs) target-laden map, and the subtle (but obvious to Liberals) call for violence, I have been increasingly vigilant in my own travels -both out of doors and online- in an effort to protect myself from the collateral damage associated with the inevitable military-style attacks on vehicles with an Obama bumper sticker or anyone of color. In fact, helicopters in general just scare the heck out of me now. But I digress…
Everyone should be warned; I have come across a website that is clearly doing it’s best to incite violence among the fringe element that makes up 90% or so of modern-day Americans. Every link results in a page with big, bold inferences that could be a call for violence. Avoid this site at all costs [http://tinyurl.com/w2ec], just in case you happen to be one of the easily-influenced, and happen to have access to a Sharpie and some cardboard, or the even more dangerous: uncontrollable saliva.
Attack on Eric Cantor
zuckey6 (Diary) Monday, March 29th at 4:25PM EDT (link)This attck seems to be anothr example of rampant anti-semitism. It is a politically motivated attack based on Mr. Canter`s apposition to Obamacare.
Guess I may as well say something on this 'little item'.
Kenny Solomon (Diary) Monday, March 29th at 6:56PM EDT (link)Howdy.
As I sit here reading the details…….. I am stunned into utter amazement that such a peace-loving and religious man would conjure and harbor such invective and desire to commit physical action against a man and his family.
You buyin’ that ?
Didn’t think so.
I first heard of the threat against Rep. Cantor as the details just barely started to emerge and commented to a friend of mine……… I’m going to the range. Call me if the media decides to cover it……. Back later.”
Got there about an hour later – home first to pick up a toy or three, then over the river and through the woods we go.
I had my Crackberry with me and I made a mistake…….. I took a look online into what was what……. Lovely. Just bleedin’ lovely.
I broke out the AR first and commenced to enjoying some stress relief.
I feel much better now and am about to have Passover dinner.
Cheers my friends !
Who is right?

Does the Huffington Post...
mschmitt (Diary) Monday, March 29th at 11:46PM EDT (link)… say what calibre the round was, have a ballistics expert attest that it was definitely fired randomly with an upward trajectory, or produce a witness to claim that they fired and/or know who fired the round? No…
Was this diary even about that bullet? No…
Whatever round struck Cantor’s office had little velocity and fell to the ground just inside. There are several explanations for that, including (but not limited to) old or poorly maintained ammunition (which seems unlikely, given the intensive education your typical leftist nut is likely to receive on proper gun training) or Congressman seeking random weirdness.
But, goodness gracious, this diary was about a nut who absolutely did tape and post death threats to the internet, including references to gun violence, against a guy who was the apparent target of gun violence.
Only a liberal could believe that conservatives have thirty foot tall rock throwing giants, are random bullet magnets, and have nothing better to do than trick liberals into issuing us death threats.
