Nutcases suck. From all sides.

Republican Rep. Eric Cantor's Richmond campaign office was shot at Wednesday night, Fox News has learned, the latest in a rash of apparent threats and acts of intimidation against members of Congress.

Most of the threats so far have been reported by Democrats, but Cantor -- the No. 2 Republican in the House -- is one of about 10 lawmakers who has asked for increased security protection, Fox News has learned. As a member of the House leadership, U.S. Capitol Police already provide Cantor with a security detail around the clock, but he has asked for more security.

As House Republican whip, Cantor is the highest elected Jewish politician in the country.

The Richmond police disagree.

I'm reserving judgment, since their investigation is just preliminary right now, but if someone was meaning to threaten Cantor and shoot a bullet into his office, they're certainly not doing a very menacing job with the details that have come out.

If you are asking if more Repubs have guns than Democrats, you know the answer. The moonbats are on both sides, however, which is why my conscience is clear voting for Nader.

No, that is not what I am asking. I am asking the question that I asked in my last post. I am wondering what "shocking" means to you in relation to the fact that Cantor's office does not appear to have been targeted, though he was happy to exploit it as such in an effort to tell others to not exploit threats.

So he's a disingenuous as$hole no matter what...but he's seeming likely to be a super disingenuous as$hole after all is said and done, too.
