Did Barack Obama inspire one of his donors to threaten a top GOP lawmaker?
Norman Leboon, Sr, the man reported to have been arrested for making a death threat video against House Minority Whip Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) and Cantor's family is listed by the Federal Elections Commission as having made two donations to the presidential campaign of Barack Obama in 2008.
According to the FEC, the donations were made on successive days in June 2008, on the 20th for $255 and on the 21st for $250. There are no other federal election campaign contributions listed for Leboon.
Just a week before Leboon made his contributions, Obama spoke in Leboon's hometown of Philadelphia on June 13, where he urged his supporters to "bring a gun" to the political battles against their opponents:
" If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun. Because from what I understand, folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans."
In September 2008, Obama told his supporters to argue with his opponents and get in their faces.

Good find!
But but but I thought it was only the Tea Party that was violent.
BTTT
Awesome work that will no doubt be shouted from the roof tops by the Lame Stream Media.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! I kill me!!!
Rahm?
And I’m sure we’ll see this on the front page of the papers, right? After all, we saw lots of stuff in the mainstream about racial slurs at the Tea Party protest in DC last week (which, for some strange reason nobody has been able to provide any evidence for yet.)

Just a week before Leboon made his contributions, Obama spoke in Leboon's hometown of Philadelphia on June 13, where he urged his supporters to "bring a gun" to the political battles against their opponents:But it is inciting violence when Sara Palin says "Don't Retreat. Reload.""If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun. Because from what I understand, folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans."
In September 2008, Obama told his supporters to argue with his opponents and get in their faces.
So he's allowed to stir s*** up but other politicians are not. Figures.
I love the Donor angle.
He also claimed he was running in the (Democrat) primary against “the Jew” Specter, but he never got enough signatures.
Can’t wait for the media to rip into this crazy left-winger’s past, and focus all of their attention on his association with Barack Hussein Obama for the next few weeks.

Leboon. Love the name.
This can’t be accurate. The Norman Leboon who was arrested is 33, and not dsiabled/retired - unless you count being a whack-job lunatic. The wrong Norman Leboon may be identified here - the guy’s father, perhaps?
Here’s the press release:

Remember mad bomber Ted K had Al Gore's book ;and how often did the mainstream press mention that?
I've not believed for a moment that Obama's campaign money were all small contributions from millions of supporters. I've believed the money was laundered from some richer source and "donated" to the candidate through these intermediaries.
Real big donor.....
Post this when the guy turns out to be a bundler or multi-million dollar guy.
An Obama goon from Philly—who would have guessed?
