Eric Cantor: Democrats “Fan The Flames” Of Violence

video
» 62 comments

House Minority Whip Eric Cantor has been a very vocal opponent of the recently passed health care reform – the very policy that has lead to reports of threats towards Democratic members of congress and increased security. Well it appears that at least the threat of violence is now bipartisan, as Cantor just revealed during a press conference that, last night a bullet was shot through the window of his Richmond, Virginia office. Further, Cantor blamed the Democrats for “fanning the flames of violence” by using the threats as a political tool.

Cantor said “It is reckless to use these incidents as media vehicles for political gain.” A question for Mr. Cantor – isn’t blaming the opposing political party for using threats of violence as dangerous, in of itself the very reckless thing that you are blaming them for?

    Well, that seems to be an interesting coincidence, doesn’t it? Frankly, I think he’s trying to save his sorry political derriere for the embarassment he suffered in the House, but blaming people receiving threats for reporting the threats? Does that seem a bit like a rape victim being ostracized for ruining a young man’s futture?

    I hope he’s being honest. If it is discovered that he fabricated this for political advantage, his rising star is going to quickly turn into a block of toilet water descending from an aircraft.

    King,
    I think the coincidence was as soon as the bill was signed, all of a sudden 10 dems come out with alleged threats.

    Republican Jean Schmidt Receives Threats Over Health Care Stance

    Find a transcript of the call left in Schmidt’s office, which contains extremely strong language, after the jump.

    Yes, uh. Yeah, I’m glad, uh. the president passed healthcare, yeah. Funky-ass, racist-ass Republicans hate that, don’t you? Jean [sic] Smith, when you got hit by that car or when you fell or whatever, you should’ve broke your back, b***h. You, and Boehner motherf***er, that Mitch McConnell — all you racist f***ing Republicans. Why don’t you just change y’all’s party name to “racist”? ‘Cause if one of those little f***ing Teabaggers would’ve spit on me, I would have socked them in the f***ing face with my f***ing .09 mm. F*** all you racist motherf***ers.

    Politico reported an inaccurate tea party hit piece yesterday about a protest at Russ Carnahan’s home and office. They were fed their information from the Carnahan camp and forgot to factcheck it.
    Here is the original draft:

    A coffin was placed on a Missouri Democrat’s lawn, another in a string of incidents against lawmakers after their vote Sunday on a health care overhaul.

    Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-Mo.) had a coffin placed “near his home,” a spokesman said Wednesday evening.

    “Carnahan appreciates thoughtful feedback received both in favor and opposition of health insurance reform,” Carnahan spokesman Jim Hubbard told POLITICO Wednesday evening “We can disagree on important issues facing our country without resorting to this kind of thing. Russ Carnahan isn’t going to shy away from the importance of reform when 45,000 fellow Americans died last year due to a lack of health insurance.”

    This was not true. The coffin was used in a prayer service for the elderly who will suffer under Obamacare and for the unborn who will be slaughtered under this plan. The protesters prayed for their loss of freedom thanks to this nationalized democratic plan. The St. Louis tea party patriots also prayed for Russ Carnahan and democrats who were voting at that time to nationalize the health care industry.

    The Politico made the accusation that the coffin was placed (and left) near Carnahan’s home. It wasn’t. The protesters were never on his lawn. They said some prayers at his house and then took the coffin with them when they left. It’s currently sitting in a garage.

    Well, it took the Politico about 12 hours but they finally updated their hit piece.

  • The Real Royal King

    I’m not sure I understand your logic, Michelle. The “victors” have coincidental death threats? I think what we more plausibly have uis Republicans who completely misread the Democratic plan and the American people, who now have egg on their faces over that and who are coming off as angry and ugly. I think we’re manufacturing a sympathy vote.

  • Johnny M

    “A question for Mr. Cantor – isn’t blaming the opposing political party for using threats of violence as dangerous, in of itself the very reckless thing that you are blaming them for?”

    YES! Exactly, why its so frustrating that the media has pushed this to be the lead storyline of the week.

  • MichelleF

    Here’s the login, King. The Dems knew that country didn’t want this so to take the heat off of them, you put it back on Repubs by claiming threats of violence.

    Also, I look forward to your comment on the trancript I just posted of a call to a Rep Congresswoman.

  • http://www.sailrabbits.com Magister

    I agree with Rep. Cantor that these incidents should not be used by either Party or its leadership for political gain, but they are legitimate news stories and the media has an obligation to report.

  • TfT

    Selective reporting once again. The media still has not done justice to the black man who was beat up by SIEU thugs this past summer. Typical.

    Chris Mathews is the one inciting violence, along with his co-horts on MSNBC. David Schuster caught in a lie again yesterday, claiming a republican office has never been hit with this kind of violence. The same Schuster who embraces the likes of Obama’s pal Bill Ayers and then denounces conservatives for words not heard except by CNN and claims it is the conservatives who are the violent ones.

    The media has no shame anymore. They no longer even try to hide their biases. ABCCBSNBC are pathetic. MSNBC is in meltldown mode, and Rick Sanchez should be fired for his twittiness.

    Your analogy is off a little. In this case, I think it’s more like the Duke lacrosse players defending themselves against a leftist media that has already convicted them simply because it fits the narrative they’re promoting.

    MichelleF,

    Why should I believe the claims of Eric Cantor, a White Republican Congressman from Virginia, and Jean Schmidt, a White Republican Congressman from Ohio, without videotaped evidence showing a liberal Democrat shooting out his window, or making a profanity laced phone call?

    Shouldn’t I hold the EXACT SAME STANDARD for White Congressmen as you demanded of Black Ones?

    I’m sorry, did you not see that transcript I posted from the Hill? Do you need help reading it? I mean I don’t normally use that language, but I’m sure S2U could read it to you. And I have heard the actaul audio, which is out there.

    Cobra:

    The difference is that we KNOW that there were multiple cameras filming the CBC as it passed the crowd on Saturday. Jesse jackson, Jr. had two cameras, one in each hand, filing the crowd as they passed. And another person, probably a staffer, had a third camera and was doing the same thing. There were numerous other news cameras and individuals with cameras all around. With all those cameras, you would expect at least one of them to have picked up the racial slurs that were supposedly screamed at them. But, to date, no one has produced anything. On other hand, we have no idea whether there were any cameras near Eric Cantor’s office that could have filmed the incident. And we have no reason to expect that a shooter would be be unconcealed, especially at night.

    It’s not the same standard, and you know it’s not the same standard. One is common sense; the other is ridiculous posturing.

    I’ll use the SAME “white-conservative-I-don’t-believe-any-minority-unless-I-see-it-on-videotape” argument YOU and your friends here used earlier this week.

    Yes. I saw the transcript. That could’ve been an actor, or a GOP plant used to make Republicans look sympathetic. Until I see a VIDEOTAPE of the alleged phone-caller, with proof of that phone caller has no ties to Jean Schmidt, the RNC or their affiliates, I won’t believe it was a hostile phone call.

  • http://www.anonymousfinch.com AnonymousFinch

    Fine, Cobra, then none of hit happened to anyone–Democratic or Republican–so shut up and stop calling me a violent racist because I don’t believe in big government.

  • http://www.anonymousfinch.com AnonymousFinch

    The difference, Cobra, that you seem to forget is that the intellectual godfather of modern progressives, Saul Alinsky, specifically preached that progressives will never reach their goals by being honest about them; therefore, they should use fraud and subterfuge to divert the debate, demonize their opponents, and control the media agenda. Alinsky was a Chicago community organizer, just like someone else we know. There is no equivalent figure on the Right who has preached the use of such tactics.

  • MichelleF

    I don’t think so King, but thanks for your concern. I’m seeing things VERY clearly, as are the American people.

  • http://www.thecobraslair.com Cobra

    MichelleF,

    Did you live in America? Do you have a television set? You obviously have internet access. You sit here and tell me that you NEED to have “videotaped evidence” that at least ONE person out of throngs of angry, mostly White anti-Obama Tea Partyers could POSSIBLY have shouted a racial slur? That Fox News, Hate Radio, the Blogosphere and irresponsible conservative politicians have so poisoned the airwaves, that a recent Harris Poll shows that among REPUBLICANS:

    Is a socialist (67%)
    Wants to take away Americans’ right to own guns (61%)
    Is a Muslim (57%)
    Wants to turn over the sovereignty of the United States to a one world government (51%); and
    Has done many things that are unconstitutional (55%).
    Also large numbers of Republicans also believe that President Obama:

    Resents America’s heritage (47%)
    Does what Wall Street and the bankers tell him to do (40%)
    Was not born in the United States and so is not eligible to be president (45%)
    Is the “domestic enemy that the U.S. Constitution speaks of” (45%)
    Is a racist (42%)
    Want to use an economic collapse or terrorist attack as an excuse to take dictatorial powers (41%)
    Is doing many of the things that Hitler did (38%).
    Even more remarkable perhaps, fully 24% of Republicans believe that “he may be the Anti-Christ” and 22% believe “he wants the terrorists to win.”

    And your logic, Michelle and Finch? That you need VIDEOTAPE EVIDENCE that somebody, if even ONLY ONE person who believes Barack Obama is a “racist Hitler-like Spawn of Satan” could ever shout the N-word at a Black Democratic Congressman in a crowd of angry, like-minded types?

    DO..YOU…KNOW…HOW…SILLY…YOU…SOUND?

    –Cobra

  • http://www.anonymousfinch.com AnonymousFinch

    I see, Cobra. The proof that the slurs occurred is the media’s narrative about the teapartiers. And the proof of the media’s narrative about the teapartiers is the fact that the slurs occurred. A little circular, no?

    LOL! You must be a hoot at parties. What…now Harris Interactive is the “evil-liberal media”? That all polling, (except from White conservative think tanks and organizations) is ‘narrative?” LOL!

    Again…by your rules. From now on, any claim made by a White Republican must have authentication via videotape evidence, or it didn’t happen. And since you’ve double-down on your stance, it has to be the ORIGINAL UNEDITED footage shot in HD. No James “I-better-not-drop-the-soap-in-here” O’Keefe selective editing.

    @Cobra: Pareene over at Gawker has a footnoted update to the Cantor story. Basically, police suspect that someone shot into the air in the vicinity of the outside firm that does the Congressman’s direct mail and when gravity brought it back to earth, it was strong enough to break the glass, but not enough to go through the blind.

  • http://www.nukethefridge.com MartiniShark

    Isn’t blaming the opposing political party for using threats of violence as dangerous, in of itself the very reckless thing that you are blaming them for?

    So Colby, your suggestion is that to combat the wall-to-wall coverage in the media of these “violent” phone calls and threats is to not go to the same media reporting it all? Maybe Cantor could have quietly sent some text messages to select news outlets and hoped for the best.

    It is blatant the press is pumping up these threats against Dem pols. If they had been this upset about threats made when it came from Leftists then maybe reporting with such dilligence today would be more rational. All these unattributable instances are dropped automatically on the lap of those on the Right, from Beck to the Tea-Party group, and no matter the words it is automatically “violent rhetoric”. Maybe some of the sympathy is not garnered because after lying and scheming to get this bill passed their words have lost a lot of value and we can not believe everything they have say now.

    “Even the New York Times agrees that O’Keffe did not engage in any selective editing:”

    You’re quoting the New York Times??!? Don’t you know that’s the HEADQUARTERS of “liberal media narrative” and anything written in it can’t be believed? Play the game by the rules YOU yourself set.

    Besides that, the Times got the correction WRONG! O’Keefe staged his racist, fur coat “dis-wut-a-black-pimp-be-lookin’-like” costume outside, but never INSIDE of the A.C.O.R.N. offices, as the editing would suggest to the viewer, compounded by the misleading characterizations by O’Keefe, Breitbart and Fox News.

    “Last December, former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger, commissioned by ACORN to independently review the facts surrounding the scandal, released his findings. Highly critical of ACORN and its employees, Harshbarger nonetheless concluded the undercover sting did not catch any employees breaking the law.

    Harshbarger also shed light on the controversial videos, noting that portions had been “substantially” edited, including some voice overdubbing. And because O’Keefe and Breitbart refuse to let any outside observers — including journalists — view the full collection of unedited tapes, it’s impossible to tell just how significantly the tapes were manipulated prior to their release.

    This was another key, albeit mostly overlooked, finding from the report:

    Although Mr. O’Keefe appeared in all videos dressed as a pimp, in fact, when he appeared at each and every office, he was dressed like a college student — in slacks and a button down shirt.

    It’s worth nothing that if O’Keefe and Breitbart wanted to rebut Harshbarger’s damaging claim about the lack of pimp costume — a narrative both men worked hard to prop up last year — it’s logical they would release clips to disprove Harshbarger’s finding. They would release a video that showed O’Keefe clearly dressed outlandishly as a pimp while sitting inside ACORN offices. But two months after the release of Harshbarger’s report, Breitbart and O’Keefe have not done that. ”

    Moreover, AnonymousFinch…is James O’Keefe your “hero?” The same James O’Keefe who, in 2006, was photographed at Jared Taylor’s American Renaissance Conference, which is described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a “White Separatist” group, and by the Anti-Defamation League as a “white supremacist” group?

    The SPLC defines practically everyone as a white supremacist. Ken Silverstein, writing for Harper’s Magazine, addressed an untoward metamorphosis of SPLC in 2000: “Today’s SPLC spends most of its time — and money — on a relentless fund-raising campaign, peddling memberships in the church of tolerance with all the zeal of a circuit rider passing the collection plate. ‘He’s the Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker of the civil rights movement,’ renowned anti-death-penalty lawyer Millard Farmer says of Dees, his former associate, ‘though I don’t mean to malign Jim and Tammy Faye.’

    “The American Institute of Philanthropy gives the Center one of the worst ratings of any group it monitors,” continued Silverstein. “Morris Dees doesn’t need your financial support. The SPLC is already the wealthiest civil rights group in America, though [its fundraising literature] quite naturally omits that fact. … ‘Morris and I…shared the overriding purpose of making a pile of money,’ recalls Dees’s business partner, a lawyer named Millard Fuller (not to be confused with Millard Farmer). ‘We were not particular about how we did it; we just wanted to be independently rich.’”

  • http://www.thecobraslair.com Cobra

    Michelle,

    I’m here. Real Life took over for a few hours. Can you answer some questions honestly? I mean…I REALLY want to know how you come to the mindset you, Finch, “writer” and Olby seem to have on race. Honest…I want to know.

    When I presented the findings of former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger:

    “Although Mr. O’Keefe appeared in all videos dressed as a pimp, in fact, when he appeared at each and every office, he was dressed like a college student — in slacks and a button down shirt. ”

    That means, the “pimp” outfit was NOT neccessary to the “sting operation”, since nobody TARGETTED in the “sting operation” ever SAW him in the “pimp” outfit. So Michelle, what was the reason for him to dress like that? Why did he wear the same get up on Fox News?
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL68WFEw2Gk
    Is that how James O’Keefe thinks Black people dress? Is that how YOU think Black people dress, Michelle?

    Did O’Keefe learn this by hanging out with Jared Taylor, at American Rennaisance?

    “writer” tries to discredit the SPLC, but does that mean he embraces Taylor and his website that recently described Blacks as a “retrograde species of humanity?” You’re down with that, “writer?”

    I mean, with all of this OPEN mocking and derogatory language aimed at Black folks like me, you really can’t believe that ONE person at an angry tea party rally couldn’t yell the N-word without “videotape evidence?” REALLY? The most hilarious part of all of this, is that you expect me to agree with you…to come to your side in this debate.

    Olby, you hate ACORN…why? ACORN helped POOR PEOPLE, and many of those poor were Brown and Black folks…like ME growing up. So when you and other angry, White right-wingers declare war on ACORN, you’re declaring war on a group that helps people who were like me. Where does this hate come from? Sincere question. Maybe Michelle can help you out on that one.

    So the bottom line here for me is this. You right wingers are sitting here, so dogmatic in your “team ideology” that you’re willing to defend ANY attack on minorities, either through denial, or abject endorsement, yet incredulously, you expect a conscious African-American like me to what..?

    Agree with you?

    Right wingers really make me laugh.

    –Cobra

  • MichelleF

    Cobra,
    The truth is, your side is going to call us racist no matter what we do or say. I know I’m not and that allows me to sleep at night. Personally, I am sick and tired and being called a racist whenever I disagree with something. The left sees racism everywhere, even when it isn’t there and it’s getting old. I don’t hate at all. If you think ACORN helping to pimp out underage girls from other countries is “helping” them, then I guess that’s on you.

  • MichelleF

    And for the record, I had NO idea you were black. I’ve NEVER mocked anyone of color, that’s just another charge of racism that didn’t happen.

  • writer

    Morris Dees’ own former partner is now saying that Dees’ primary motivation is money. The Klan hasn’t been a force for fifty years and its numbers have dwindled to almost nothing, yet Dees keeps pretending that we’re still in 1960 Mississippi. This keeps people contributing to SPLC and makes Dees more of a millionaire than he already is. When Dees’ own partner (who is hardly a right winger) calls him out, then I’d have to say Dees’ motives are suspect. And Cobra, be honest. You’re not all that fond of white people, are you? You’re always telling us to be honest, so why don’t you? Just come out and admit you’re a racist.

  • writer

    Let’s hear more from someone who knows Morris Dees best:

    Silverstein explains:

    “The Ku Klux Klan, the SPLC’s most lucrative nemesis, has shrunk from 4 million members in the 1920s to an estimated 2,000 today [year 2000], as many as 10 percent of whom are thought to be FBI informants. But news of a declining Klan does not make for inclining donations to Morris Dees and Co., which is why the SPLC honors nearly every nationally covered ‘hate crime’ with direct-mail alarums full of nightmarish invocations of ‘armed Klan paramilitary forces’ and ‘violent neo-Nazi extremists…’”

    But as the real dragons dry-up, new dragons emerge: “Tea Party” conservatives; Evangelical Christians; anti-abortion zealots and anti-gay bigots (read: pro-life and pro-family traditionalists); and, of course, gun-toting, knuckle-dragging 2nd Amendment rednecks. All bundled together — courtesy of the SPLC and Janet “the system worked” Napolitano — in that neat little pejorative package know as — Dun-Dun-Dun! — THE RIGHT-WING EXTREMIST! (You know, basically Middle America.)

    So, sadly — shamefully, really — today’s SPLC has become nothing more than a “non-profit” extension of the black helicopter, Huffpo-wing of the Democratic Party — a gaggle of partisan hacks bent on lining their pockets, defaming good people (along with the bad) and filling DNC coffers. (SPLC Director Mark Potok even doubles as a Huffington Post columnist. Seriously. They make it that easy.)

  • The Real Royal King

    Let’s remember the subject of the post: Little Eric’s Myth. Now that it’s been exposed for being just that, we ought to move on.

  • writer

    And why would good old Morris and SPLC act in such a manner? Let’s see. According to Harper’s, “Dees bought a 200-acre estate appointed with tennis courts, a pool, and stables.” SPLC’s 2008 Form-990 shows net assets of over 219 million at the beginning of that year. Yet in horrific examples of black on white crime, such as the Channen Christian murder, where was Dees? According to news reports, Channen Christian and boyfriend Christopher Newsom had gone on a date at a Knoxville, Tenn. restaurant on Saturday, January 6, 2007, where they were carjacked and kidnapped by five black men. According to the testimony of the Knox County Acting Medical Examiner Dr. Darinka Mileusnic-Polchan at the subsequent trial of Eric Boyd, one of the kidnappers, Newsom was repeatedly sodomized with an object and then blindfolded, gagged, arms and feet bound and his head covered. Barefoot, he was either led or dragged outside the house to a set of nearby railroad tracks. He was shot in the back of the head, the neck, and the back, and his body then set on fire. Christian’s death came only after hours of sexual torture, medical examiner Mileusnic-Polchan testified. Christian suffered horrific injuries to her vagina, anus and mouth. She was not only raped but savaged with “an object,” possibly a broken chair leg, the doctor testified. She was beaten in the head. Some type of chemical was poured down her throat, and her body, including her bleeding and battered genital area, likely scrubbed with the same solution – all while Christian was alive.

    Examples of such crimes are way too numerous to list, but can be found by looking up FBI uniform crime reports or Department of Justice crime stats. The question is, where were Morris Dees and the SPLC on this case? Not only did they not yell ‘hate crime’, but they were totally silent. Why is that?

    Second, you didn’t answer ANY question that I posted. Not ONE. I haven’t called “you” anything. I point to the behavior of the people you defend with all of your heart such as Tea Partyers with “Obama is Hitler/Witch Doctor/Go Back to Kenya” signs whom you claim to need VIDEOTAPE EVIDENCE before you’d believe they’re capable of shouting the N-word.

    I never said “you” mock people of color, but I damn sure know that James O’Keefe does, and I ASKED YOU if you feel the same way since you passionately defend HIM. Still no answer.

    You’re not having a discussion with me. You’re simply making statements. I read the things you post. I went to your link about O’Keefe at Bigjournalist, and the author actually verified that O’Keefe was there, but the only source he cites about O’Keefe’s activities there was…O’Keefe himself.

    And you want me to give the guy who mocked Blacks, caused the destruction of an organization that helped poor people, and is awaiting trial on felony charges the benefit of a doubt that all his ties with a White Nationalist like Jared Taylor is innocent?

    I’m sorry you were offended, but remember, nobody can offend you without your consent, and it really seems like you want to be offended. The last thing I’m going to say on the matter is that I’m nearly 38 years old and I find it a little ironic that I have NEVER in my life had someone called me a racist until I dared to disgree with Obama’s policies. That to me is very telling of the way this country is headed.

    K that should have been, should I judge you based on what Farrakan says, or Wright?

    You still don’t get it, do you?

    Why did you bring up Farrakhan or Wright? Did I mention EITHER of those two in my posts? Did I defend or try to justify the words or actions of either Farrakhan or Wright? I DARE you to scroll up, cut and paste where I did that on this blog. You’re trying to CHANGE THE SUBJECT AGAIN.

    James O’Keefe by his own words was present at a panel with a reknown White Nationalist Jared Taylor. James O’Keefe videotaped himself in that stereotypical “pimp” costume, and videotaped himself trying to destroy ACORN an organization that helps poor people, primarily MINORITIES.

    These are indisputable FACTS, Michelle, and you’re on the record DEFENDING this guy on the worldwide web for people of ALL races, creeds and walks of life. This site is Stormfront, or FoxNation. If you defend people who mock and disparage minorities here, you’re gonna be challenged.

    I’m done with you Cobra. I hate to say it, but I agree with Writer that you may have a race problem of your own.

    The truth might hurt a little Cobra, but you should really read this article and see if maybe you see a little bit of yourself in it:

    I truly hope that one day you can get passed all of your anger at others and find peace and happiness.

    And I should take the words of an angry white conservative who funds people like James O’Keefe? I should follow the wisdom of Andrew Breitbart?

    Again….you make me LAUGH OUT LOUD. No WONDER you can’t believe that people in Tea Parties marching around with Hitler signs couldn’t shout the N-word.

    Writer, you’re correct about SPLC. DOJ stats show that blacks are killing other blacks in record numbers every day. So what does Morris Dees focus on? White supremacists. If these boogey men of his were killing blacks in the same numbers that blacks are doing it to themselves, then Dees would really have something to talk about.

    Anyone surprised? Read more about Cantor’s hypocrisy…

    Bleeplander,

    It’s still not good enough for “writer” and autobahn. The story didn’t blame a BLACK man for the shooting, so the story must be illegitimate.

    Cobra, in addressing Anonymous Finch, you brought up the SPLC. Just giving a bit of background on it.

    Horsecrap. Your “bit of background” included a horrific story on a black on white crime with details meant to shock the sensitivities of the thread audience, while demonizing Blacks in general with your summary sentence:

    “Examples of such crimes are way too numerous to list, but can be found by looking up FBI uniform crime reports or Department of Justice crime stats.”

    Who do you think you’re fooling? Don’t even START with me about interracial killings and rapes in America. Nobody trumps White Europeans on that score in this Hemisphere, “writer”. NOBODY.
    Save that nonsense for Jared Taylor’s site. Nobody will challenge you there, and you might get some fans out of it.

    Okay, Cobra, I’ll play. Show me the stats where whites are committing more crimes against blacks than vice versa.

    P.S. I’m talking currently, not the 1800s.
