Really? You don't see anything wrong with certain individuals threatening public officials to vote a certain way or we'll harm/kill you and/or your family?
Of course it's wrong. The way the question was worded was the problem.
Can y'all agree that Violence against Political Offices and Politicians is Wrong?
I have a major problem with the special treatment politicians get. A health care plan that we can't get, vested pay/insurance for LIFE AFTER 6 YEARS IN OFFICE. Did you see where congressional aids will be forced to switch plans under the new bill, but not everyone?
Come 2014, all 100 U.S. senators, all 435 representatives in the House and every one of their personal aides will have to go to the newly formed state exchanges for health insurance -- just like everyone else in the country who isn't covered by their employer.
But select congressional leadership staffers -- some of whom wrote the health insurance act -- won't. And neither will White House staffers and Cabinet members -- nor the president himself. They will be allowed to keep their current plans, which are offered to all other federal employees.
Screw that. I will never support anything that's not fair across the board.

No what you are actually trying to do is tar the Tea Party movement as being part of the "lunatic fringe". You do it by attributing random acts of violence by a very small number of people as somehow being endorsed and encouraged by them. You do it by the pejorative "teabagger". You do it by dismissing their ideas as hate, intolerance, and violence even though by any measure every Tea Party rally has been the model of peaceful, civil protest. When they marched on Washington DC last year they even cleaned up before they left. Their issues are the deficit and Constitutional governance. If that is "hate and intolerance" the meaning of those words has been changed beyond recognition.

Random acts?

Shall I link the 2 again?

Cantor says someone shot a bullet through his office window this week:
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20001168-503544.html
This I don't believe, because if it had happened, he wouldn't have had to announce it for people to know of it. Police would have been involved and word would have gotten out. I'll gladly eat crow if a police report comes out, because I don't like the idea of anyone on any side lying about something like this. It's also worth mentioning in the same press release he harped about Democrats turning this into a political issue then plays his Jew card. Also, this guy goes to Brittney Spears concerts without his daughter.

Cantor is such a whiney little bitch. looks like the bullet had nothing to do with him after all...

"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."

i wonder if he will man up and do the right thing by discouraging the violence his minions are engaging in.

Obama's Organizing for America is now raising money off the synthetic scare. You can see through this crowd like Saran Wrap.

OfA fundraises off threats

The Democrats continue to take political advantage of reports of Republican vandalism and threats, with the head of the Obama campaign organization, Mitch Stewart, referring to the incident at Tom Perriello's brother's house in a fundraising appeal.

I wonder when the next Timothy McVeigh type terrorist will spring out of the Teabagger/Hateriot/GOP movement.

I never ever watched anthing imploded , But America is imploding. This left right thing is funny as hell. The right will use force and cry liberty . The Left will huge the tree they just pissed on. But villiance from the left not alot to worry about from those types . entitlement is there vision for America . The Rights Vision seems to be not clear . But the Left the message is clear ENTITLEMENT. The Right will die first . So implosion is imminent . Left left will use the the poor sick as their base but will not improve their quality of life infact it will likely go down. The tax burden will fall on the slave labor industry poor/ middle class. As the Rich aren't really in this game there just the people behind the certain on both sides they will allways be in the winning position as they create the rules for engagement. I myself if it comes down to proper fighting methods to ensure victory . The indian method is best, Even so they lost because of tech. Ya this country is in need of a good cleansing on both sides.

The Fox News Shows (orilly) are leading with the Cantor story. This is a way to diffuse the issue by claiming both sides are doing it. Starting my countdown clock on when they will make the correction. 1,000,000,000...999,999,999...999,999,998

The funny thing is that the MSM had no problem with Obama being friends with someone who was involved in several bombings.

He's a PoS for not wanting to make an issue out of the incident?

Yeah, your talking heads are eating him alive. Ed Schultz started his show today with Cantor's remarks, and brought on numerous guests, including Democrats in the House, demanding the GOP accept responsibility for any and all acts of violence.

You want to see someone who hates others, Ed Schultz is a man who is just filled to the brim with hate. There is no other way to put it, and deep down you know it to be true too.

Just in case you have aspirations of becoming a criminal mastermind one day, here's a tip: if you are committing fraud, don't contact the FBI to investigate it.

Where is your proof they were ever friends?

The Obama administration has released a preliminary list of White House visitors as part of its promise to release to the public a record of people who came to the White House as well as "when they came, how long they were here, and who they met with."

The list, which is here, includes the names "William Ayers" and "Jeremiah Wright." But the White House says they aren't the Ayers and Wright that are known to the public.
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-5466001-503544.html

I am pretty sure you don't get invited to the White House (outside of a function) if you are not friends with the president and have no political motive (senator/lobbyist/ect)

Oh, never mind, that is just a coincidence

Obama has been in office for over 1 year and the White House gets up to 100,000 visitors a month. So out of over 1 million people its out of the question to get another William Ayres or Jeramiah Wright? Take any random million people and you'd probably find a last name of Hitler.

Also with all the controvery I doubt the WH staff would be stupid enough to invite those two.
