House Minority Whip Eric Cantor just gave a brief speech accusing Democrats of using reports of recent threats of violence for political gain, and saying someone shot a bullet through the window of his campaign office this week.
"I've received threats since I assumed elected office, not only because of my positions, but because i am Jewish," Cantor said. "I've never blamed anyone in this body for that. Period. Any suggestion that a leader in this body that would incite threats or acts against other members is akin to saying that i would endanger myself, my wife or my children."
Cantor said a bullet was shot through the window of his Richmond, Va., campaign office this week, and that he's gotten threatening emails.
"I will not release them because I believe such actions will only encourage more to be sent," he said.
He said to do so -- as some Democratic lawmakers have done -- would be reckless.
"It is reckless to use these incidents as media vehicles for political gain," he said. He called out DCCC Chair Chris Van Hollen and DNC Chair Tim Kaine by name as those who are "dangerously fanning the flames by suggesting that these incidents be used as a political weapon."
"To use such threats against members of congress is not a partisan issue," he said. "By ratcheting up the rhetoric some will only inflame these situations to dangerous levels."
Watch:
Cantor's congressional office tells TPMDC the shooting happened sometime late Monday night or early Tuesday morning. It triggered an alarm, and the campaign filed a police report immediately. No one was harmed.
Michael Lowry, a spokesman for the Cantor campaign, told TPMDC that all inquiries about the shooting were being handled by Cantor's congressional office staff. He would not confirm any details about the incident, including whether or not there was a visible bullet hole.
A Richmond Police spokeswoman says the department is working on a statement about the incident to release to the press.

Scott Ashjian Is A Fake Teabagger
The Tea Party Express is calling out purported "Tea Party of Nevada" candidate, Scott Ashjian as a phony and a fraud in a new television ad campaign. The first ad in that campaign is being released today and can be seen here: This is the kind of games the left wing play to win. Is this what you want in our government? I thought you Democrats might want to see a draft letter that we will be seeing a lot of as we pay for obamacare and get next to nothing in return for the next 4 years. Thank the Democrats in Congress for the jobs lost because of them.
Dear Employees:
As the CEO, I have resigned myself to the fact that with President Barrack Obama’s health care bill now law, our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.
To compensate for these spikes in cost, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead.
This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go.
So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change...... I gave it to them.
I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.

Open Thread: The Real Left Wing


The first Hash Bash, 1971. This is one of Michigans left wing rallies. Someone always gets hurt at these. But since they are all high not too many riots,thank God.

1992 in LA a riot broke out because of the left and with the help from the left. Do you remember these liberals beating people to a pulp just for driving by?
