Washington (CNN) -- A 33-year-old Pennsylvania man has been arrested and charged with threatening to kill House Minority Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia, the No. 2 Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives, the Justice Department said Monday.

Will CNN also add that the guy is also an Obama voter and donor..waiting...waiting...

[nhwingut]

No mention that he’s a liberal obama supporter.

[LachlanMinnesota]

Who forced CNN to report this? Did someone threaten them?

They key will be the follow up with talking heads to see how this arrest fits into the bigger picture of violent tendencies by the left against the right...

[Parley Baer]

Will the media report that he was a poster on the Huffington post?

[BallyBill]

Seems there is a lot of us angry males in PA. Wonder which Union he belongs to?

[sickoflibs]

Obama donor, you got to LOVE it. How will MSNBC play that tonight after a week of scare stories against republicans?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Perhaps the media will go after the Huffington Post, saying they are “Inciting violence” LOL look at me, I made a funny, the media, report negatively on liberals LOL..when pigs fly we will see that

[truthbetold11]

false flag opps

[highlander_UW]

One of the commenter indicated that they'd been watching the comments section and CNN has been deleting most that weren't left wing. There's an honest news source for ya. And, of course, no mention that he was a self proclaimed gay muslim, had donated money to the Obama campaign or was a member of the Huffington Post. That info is easy to obtain on the internet had someone taken 5 minutes to do so...but there is no such thing as journalists anymore...and particularly in the MSM.

[throwback]

Like Steyn just said, it just shows you how incoherent the Tea Party extremists are, they don’t even know which party’s members to threaten. Uh \sarc

[BobMV]

Probably not. No candidate has any control over who votes for them. And they hardly ever know the mental state of individual donors. The press nor anybody else will see this as significant. Nuts are everywhere it seems.

[latina4dubya]

can we post a picture of Eric Cantor? i don’t know how to do that myself...

[TigerBait]

Part of the radical right wing out to destroy —

Oh wait. Scratch that.

[chickadee]

Just a thought . . . we are wasting a lot of time and energy denying and protesting the media blather and the Obama administration's efforts to paint health care opponents/tea partyers as racists and violence prone. Isn't that their goal . . . not ours . . . to shift the focus from the dire consequences of the bill itself?

[Sarah Barracuda]

But the media has no problem going after Sarah Palin saying she is “Inciting violence” by posting a list of those who voted for the health care bill and should be fired, yet they won’t mention that this guy was an Obama voter/donor..all I am asking is for the media, for ONCE, to be fair and call it the same on both sides.

[Moorka]

A violence-advocating, Obama-donating, Gay, muslim, HuffPO contributing leftwinger. He covered all the bases.

They say the right is violent:

every liberal protest witnessed is engulfed in brick throwing, fire starting, hanging/burning/head cut off of some republican politician, car overturning, etc.

And yet the Tea Parties have yet to turn into anything resembling a violent protest. In fact if the only accounts of violence at tea party events were acts of aggression by Obama/SEIU supporters at town hall meetings.

Oh the irony of it all.

Anyone remember the mockumentary DEATH OF PRESIDENT which had Bush being shot? Did Democrat leaders come out and apologize for that??? Washington Post editorials condemn it??

Must be a Right-wing Christian extremist, just has to be. (sarc)

"can we post a picture of Eric Cantor? i don’t know how to do that myself..."
