I should have seen it coming, but I didn't. The Democrats are showing their usual faux outrage here. They didn't seem to mind all the absolutely despicable and violent statements made about George Bush during his Presidency.
It's the usual here. When a liberal spouts vitriol, it is because they are enlightened and thus correct, or considered a Patriot by their own. When any dissent is made towards them, it is always radical, hate mongering individuals.

Republican Eric Cantor's office was actually hit by gunfire this week.
Dem leadership needs to cool their fvcking jets and stop manipulating and politicizing this issue.

LMAO at the Conks on here.
Majority of the threats and ACTUAL VIOLENCE have been against the Democrats, who were FOLLOWING THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
It is TRAITORS like Beck/Hannity/Rush and the RNC that are stoking the violence. All should be Gitmo'd.
To spin this any other way is assinine.

Damn extremists. I saw someone use a Barry Goldwater quote to rationalize this violence. Barry said, "extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice!”" Extremism does not equate violence, these fucktards don't get that. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO PEACEFULLY ASSEMBLE! Use that right to peacefully assemble at thier homes and offices, don't terriorize and threat them. If you want change, this is NOT going to bring it about.

We knew that power concedes nothing. So did President Obama. So did the members of Congress who courageously voted for reform, knowing that the special interests and the extreme right wing would retaliate swiftly.
The attacks are fierce. Deceptive ads are hitting the airwaves in swing districts. GOP lawmakers are pushing to repeal reform -- and preventing the Senate from performing basic functions. A few Republican attorneys general have launched a baseless attack to overturn the legislation. But that's not even the worst of it.
A conservative blogger posted the home address of Congressman Tom Perriello, urging tea partiers to "drop by." Other members have had death threats. Democratic offices have been vandalized.
Please chip in $5 or more to defend health reform -- and those in Congress who fought to make it possible.Showing support for reform and those who fought for it is our number one priority right now. We're going all-out, organizing grassroots events around the country, running supportive ads on the air, and making sure that every American knows the truth about the historic legislation that representatives voted into law.
Members of Congress know that reform would not have passed without all of your incredible work. But we also know that it would not have passed without their courage.
Together, along with President Obama, we beat the insurance companies and brought affordable coverage to 32 million without it, reduced costs for families and small businesses, and created the toughest patient protections in history.
A few weeks ago, we made a simple promise to these representatives: You fight for health reform, we'll fight for you. It's time to hold up our end of the deal.

It's all fabrication and plants by the dems to provide cover for the ones that caved and voted for the bill. None of this is actually real.

Not sure the cantor incident was directed at him. The police report says the bullet struck the window in a downward motion so the bullet had been fired in the air. The bullet barely grazed the window and didnt even penetrate the window blind just inside the glass.

Donks have been using violence, threats of violence, and vandalism for YEARS against Republicans. There were millions of Donks against this horrible legislation. Common sense says you might need to check into the people who have a long and sordid history of such behavior before you and your enablers start blaming Republicans or the Tea Party crowd.

1. The Congress is following the will of WHAT people? Certainly not ME.
2. Regardless of any of that, two wrongs do NOT make a right. We dump this unconstitutional cr@p either through the courts or through the ballot box, NOT through assassination. If this tr@sh is true, the perps ought to be hung from a Haman gibbet.

The will of the people was to not have this health care bill passed and every person and poll shows that.
This congress is getting exactly what they deserve and they should have thought about that before THEY chose money over their families. I wish them the worst and wont lose a minutes sleep over anything bad that happens to any of them.

Even if some of it true, the fake shock and horror by the Demokrat leadership is only to divert attention and shift blame from the massive turd they just laid and their own misdeeds. The stupidity from the fringes has clearly been bi-partisan.
The bottom line is that as of yesterday, the Congressional Sargent-at-Arms reports "...no information that either reflects an increase in threats against Members, their families or staff, or any specific threat or action being contemplated against a specific Member or office..."

Read an interesting article months ago that actually felt that Beck was good for the extremists. His premise was that Beck was actually addressing their concerns in his show, and thus was letting them be heard.
Essentially he was helping them to let off steam by talking about what they were feeling.
While I don't know how true this is, it at least makes sense, especially since we are pounded day and night with op-ed pieces that are passed off as journalism.

Good one. Cantor gets a bullet shot through his window from a rooftop and you are trying to pass if off as a lucky random shot into the air. What are the odds?
