Eric Cantor: We need to move on
Edited on Fri Mar-26-10 03:16 PM by apples and oranges
Washington (CNN)– One day after House Republican Whip Eric Cantor told reporters that "a bullet was shot through the window of his campaign office" in Richmond, Virginia, his office Friday sought to clarify his remarks after learning the Richmond Police Department determined Cantor was not targeted and "random gunfire" was responsible for the incident.

"Given a recent spike in threats against Rep. Cantor, he, his family and his security were concerned the bullet found in his campaign office was related to a number of violent emails and phone messages, many of them anti-Semitic and some of them threatening gun violence," his spokesman, John Murray said.

"Cantor was very happy to find out that police attributed this particular incident to random gunfire and as his statement made clear yesterday, that we need to move on."


Thursday Cantor told reporters "Just recently I have been directly threatened. A bullet was shot through the window of my campaign office in Richmond this week and I've received threatening emails."

How convenient. Yeah, we should all just move on now that his lie has been exposed.

On a side note, Toyota is using the same phrase in their current ads. People sure do like to move on right quickly when they fuck up.

2. No Eric, we can't move on!
We must spend the next several weeks asking the same questions of you about the broken window intimidating incident!

He'll be back at it next week, though.

5. Now he doesn't want to talk about it
Before the truth came out he was more than happy to have the MSM talking about it 24/7.

Move on, my ass.

9. I called his office and this was interesting
I told them I was glad to hear he was not targeted and that the bullet was a random one not directed at him. I went on to say I thought the violate attacks were disgraceful and felt we needed to stop the hate stuff. We have problems in this country that need real attention and all this just gets in the way and we need to work to resolve problems, I said.

The guy said they agree 100% and he thanked me for the call. Isn't it funny how they will say one thing and do the opposite?

11. No Eric, you were victimized ...
and we need to vigilantly investigate this, going over the details over and over again, until we know exactly what happened to you.

You poor man you.

20. Random Gunfire LOL!
Yes, Eric my boy, it was just some random patriotic Virginians out for a night on the town, or maybe they just felt threatened by your campaign office, who could blame them? At any rate they were just exercising their 2nd Amendment rights, eh sonny boy? Nothing to wet yourself about. You live by the gun, you die by the gun babe.

26. No, admit your lie while in the same breath claiming that
it happened because you're Jewish, Eric, then perhaps 'we' can move on. If you've been threatened at any point in time for being Jewish then let us see/hear it.

I'll admit that a good friend of mine received a nasty message on his answering machine for writing a LTTE in the local rag, for expressing his support for a candidate for city council and our current President. The message was nasty as one candidate was Jewish and the other African American and he played it for me.

Prove it Eric, otherwise I'll consider your claims opportunistic in an effort to diminish what is happening to Dems around the country. BTW, Eric, your party is inflaming the asshats who would threaten you, if threats actually occurred.

29. Well, my preference is that we dwell on it, and all the other willful misdeeds of
the Repukes, from here until eternity. Or at least until there IS no more Repuke party.
