Republican Rep. Eric Cantor's Richmond campaign office was shot at Wednesday night, Fox News has learned, the latest in a rash of apparent threats and acts of intimidation against members of Congress.
Most of the threats so far have been reported by Democrats, but Cantor -- the No. 2 Republican in the House -- is one of about 10 lawmakers who has asked for increased security protection, Fox News has learned. As a member of the House leadership, U.S. Capitol Police already provide Cantor with a security detail around the clock, but he has asked for more security.
As House Republican whip, Cantor is the highest elected Jewish politician in the country.

Boy the left radicals are busy, first faking attacks against Democrats and now real attacks against Republicans...
He's not a Democrat.
Sounds like retaliation for the bricks that were throw through windows and the threats to dems. This is getting scary. I really hate this. We need to pray for all our leaders.
The Liberals, Nazis, communists ALWAYS single out the Joooooozzzz first.....

Obama: ‘If They Bring a Knife to the Fight, We Bring a Gun’

All those laid off union members are working again. Seems the plan now is to create a crisis when there is none.
So, some conservatives make a phone call and give a representative the what for, calling them the POS’s that they are and Jim Clyburn says we’re “aiding and abetting terrorism”.
A conservative republican has his windows shot out and...oh, silence. Figures...wussies.
I think I will turn on MSNBC to see what they have to say about this.
Your right! This can’t possible be true, the left never uses violence against patriots. This will not help their efforts to use their normal victim status to cover up their destruction of America.
Alinski rules apply.
“So this has turned antisemitic as well as racist?”
No idea if religion based, but liberals REALLY don’t like it when Jewish people leave the ghetto — just like they don’t like blacks leaving the plantation.
I suspect it was just the fact he was a public face against Obama power grab.
Don’t assume the bricks were from the right?
So, people, is this country better off today than it was 4 years ago?
ping me if you get a report please.
I wonder when the laim stream media going to report about this incident. I think the congressional Democrat should be the one responsible for these kind of violence. Steny Hoyer went on television and spark more violence. Violence should not be tolerate; but letting elected official know our frustration is acceptable. Glad to see that Congressmen Cantor is alright!
Leftists usually “delegate” their violence.
At least the elitist types do.
The presser he just had was very good. He took Dems to task for using all these supposed threats for political gain. He laid it out that he has faced threats from day one for being a Repub and a Jew but never once blamed the Dems or took it to the media to cry.
