Federal authorities have arrested a Philadelphia man and charged him with threatening to kill House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and his family.
Norman Leboon will be charged with two federal counts: threatening to kill a member of Congress and interfering with his federal duties, and posting video online containing such threats. He is scheduled to appear in federal district court in Philadelphia on Monday afternoon.
The arrest is the most serious in a string of threats of violence against lawmakers in wake of the divisive health care vote. At least 10 Democrats along with a handful of Republicans, including Cantor, reported threats of violence during the past week.
“At this time, the congressman will have no further comment on this threat or the investigation, and asks that inquiries be directed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” Cantor spokesman Brad Dayspring said. “The congressman is deeply grateful for, and would like to dearly thank all local and federal law enforcement involved, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Attorney’s Office[s] in Virginia and Philadelphia, U.S. Capitol Police and the Henrico Police Department in Virginia.”
In a video posted on YouTube, Leboon said Cantor was a "liar, you're a Lucifer, you're a pig, a greedy [expletive] pig." He also seemed to refer to a bullet found in Cantor’s office last week and said it will be placed in his head. Richmond Police had originally discounted the bullet as a stray. It is unclear whether the FBI will expand the investigation into the Richmond bullet.

The 10 Democrats seem to have told lies, probably to cover for this LeBoon puke.
I did not see the Huffington Post mentioned in the article.
I don’t want to kill any member of Congress, but I do want to remove most of them from office.
Glad this sicko is off the streets for now.
The liberals have been telling us that this threat on Cantor is a hoax.

What Tea Party did he belong to? ;)
Still no details about him.
No mention that he is a Obama supporter and donor to Obama’s campaign.
Did it mention that he's a HuffPo member? Nope.
Did they even bother to find out is DU screen name?
MSNBC loses another viewer..now instead of 10 viewers, now they will have 9. Look for them to try to post his bail so they can get their loyal viewer back
Cantor had earlier reported shots at his office window but police chalked it up as random gunfire.
The White Hut will probably throw the guy a birthday party.
And the EVIDENCE that 10 democRats were threatened? Coming up at 6:00, right?
my guess is it’s a tea party member angry that cantor didn’t do enough to stop health care reform. /sarc
