Rep. Eric Cantor was one of the House members with a bullseye target placed on him by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

By the media's "logic", I wonder if Norman Leboon (the apparent Obama donor) was "inspired" by the bullseye target...

The DIM/LIB/moonbats are seething with anger aren’t they? They are like spoiled, entitled children who can’t get what they want. In their case what they want is legitimacy of their whacked ideas...ain’t gonna get it, fellas. Your ideas are sick...misguided at best.

I think most humans are able to figure out that “target” means that the member is “targeted” for political defeat. It’s not an incitement to kill. Or, it’s only an incitement to kill when a conservative does it.

What’s more insidious is to say that Sarah Palin put a cross-hairs on Gabby Gifford, which she did not. But the Left is going to say that over and over anyway. And few will call them on it.

I guess the guy who threatened Cantor was driven to it by the Tea Party, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, and Rush Limbaugh.

“The DIM/LIB/moonbats are seething with anger aren’t they?”

It’s about all they have, really. They’re rarely ever positive or happy about anything- unless it’s about vindictiveness towards somebody in a petty way.

Yes, it may have been a committed leftist who threatened Eric Cantor, but coincidentally, it was only after the tuning mechnism on his radio broke and he lost his TV remote so he could not change channels that he listened to Rush Limbaugh and watched Glenn Beck on the very same day which caused him to issue those threats. Rush and Glenn, why they made him do it, it’s perfectly clear. Yeah, that’s the ticket. That’s why the likes of Rush and Glenn Beck must be silenced. Because they incite their listeners to violence just by mentioning Sarah Palin’s name. She hunts wolves from helicopters, after all, and wolves are natural creatures and rifles are guns, which makes them just like pistols, and the connection from wolves to people is way too obvious. So when you combine the level of passion of a Rush Limbaugh mentioning the aerial wolf-killer of Alaska, it’s only a hop, skip and a jump to blowing away a Congresswoman.

I have been reading some posts by the moonbats today and you are correct; they are going nuts. Must be because the shooter has been tied correctly to the liberal/leftists.

The left and the media may find their strategy of trying to pin the Giffords shooting on political motivation (from the right, of course), rather than mental illness, backfiring on them, as the crazies on the left are used to using incendiary rhetoric and getting away with it. This arrest for the threats on Cantor may finally change all that.

The maps seemed to be interactive ... click on a target and a politician comes up (in your example above McCotter)

Any idea what the original interactive map source is?

Thanks if anyone knows please post it to me as I am gathering up a couple dozen of examples of liberals doing the exact same thing they are accusing Palin/tea party/republican of doing.

I have to take a shower now...to much dirt coming off of reading moonbats’ postings. Dang, I could not comprehend most of what I was reading from them. And liberal/leftist actually think this should be blamed on Conservatives....(walking away shaking my head)
