A Philadelphia man who threatened a Congressman and his family in a YouTube video has been found incompetent to stand trial and ordered to undergo psychiatric treatment.

Norman Leboon, 38, will be sent to a federal prison and mental health facility for four months, with the goal of treating him so he is capable of standing trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert K. Reed said Tuesday.

Leboon appears in the video attacking U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor (R., Va.), the Republican House whip.

The incident received wide attention, coming as it did shortly after the Democratic-controlled Congress passed President Obama's controversial health care bill.

More proof that “liberalism is a mental disorder.”

This guy is a time bomb. What’s the move?

He’ll get a job with the former ACORN organization or SEIU.

OK, let's see this criminal stand trial after 4 months.

Probably wouldn’t be his first Democratic convention.
