Feds: Philly Man Threatened GOP Leader

PHILADELPHIA - Federal authorities said Monday that a Philadelphia man has been charged with threatening in a YouTube video to kill Congressman Eric Cantor and his family.

Norman Leboon, 38, of the 1600 block of Brenner Street, was arrested Saturday and charged with two different counts, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Cantor is the Republican Whip in the House and representative for Virginia's 7th District.

Its pretty obvious to me that our democrat politicians are enciting people to violence. Wait a minute, isn't that what liberals are accusing the evil republicans of doing. Dems need to zip it and stop throwing around accusations.

There is no justifiable basis for the recent threats of violence, among other ugly acts, against Members of Congress from either major political party. Such threats or acts are wholly unwarranted and those responsible should be held fully accountable for any criminal acts they might pursue or carry out.

In the larger scheme of things, the maintenance of a republic in which free citizens work through the nation's political institutions and electoral process in helping shape the nation's policies is vastly more important than the outcome in the recent health care debate. Indeed, were appeals to extremes, efforts at intimidation, and acts of violence to become a significant form of the nation's political discourse, such an outcome would render the nation's republican form of government obsolete and wholly inconsistent with its Founders' principles. That such conduct might be carried out in the name of "protecting" or "advancing" freedom would not change the illiberal nature of such conduct and its fundamental attack on the rule of law that safeguards individual freedom.

So because a Republican was threatened you are under the impression that Democrats are not being threatened?

how did you get that?

No, he's under the impression that democrats are grandstanding hypocrites for saying that republicans are inciting people to violence, when republicans are getting threatened as well.

How exactly are democrats inciting people to violence? I haven't heard democrats supporting secession like Rep King and Governor Perry has.
 
Re: Feds: Philly Man Threatened GOP Leader

I think this Philadelphia man is if not insane then profoundly wrong and his actions deserve to be condemned.

I don't think Democratic political leaders have incited political violence in their language or in their deeds. And, sad to say, I don't feel the same about many conservative leaders in this country.

Hmmm, that might mean something. :/

I see. You think Republicans aren't contributing to the threats?

Do you think it incites to violence that democrats (including Obama) are accusing insurance companies of willfully causing the death of many people and accusing republicans of being on the side of the insurance companies?

Or when Alan Grayson basically says that the republicans beleive all the sick should just up and die?

Can you please explain how secession = inciting violence?

What words and statements did you add to his post in your head to come to this conclussion. He seemed to be saying that just because a Republican was threatened by a person doesn't mean Democrats are to blame for inciting violence based on their rhetoric towards Republicans, and just because Democrats are having claims of threats doesn't mean its because Republicans are inciting them to violence.
 
Unlike the spitting and racial epithets in front of the steps at the House, apparently this ACTUALLY happened.

When the federal government over steps their constitutional limitations this is why Texas Governor speaks of succession.


THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION



ARTICLE 1. BILL OF RIGHTS




That the general, great and essential principles of liberty and free government may be recognized and established, we declare:

Sec. 1. FREEDOM AND SOVEREIGNTY OF STATE. Texas is a free and independent State, subject only to the Constitution of the United States, and the maintenance of our free institutions and the perpetuity of the Union depend upon the preservation of the right of local self-government, unimpaired to all the States.

Sec. 2. INHERENT POLITICAL POWER; REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT. All political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit. The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to the preservation of a republican form of government, and, subject to this limitation only, they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient.


Sec. 3. EQUAL RIGHTS. All free men, when they form a social compact, have equal rights, and no man, or set of men, is entitled to exclusive separate public emoluments, or privileges, but in consideration of public services.


Sec. 3a. EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW. Equality under the law shall not be denied or abridged because of sex, race, color, creed, or national origin. This amendment is self-operative.

If the federal government grows beyond the intended bounds of the Constitution, all bets are off.
 
I am interested to find out what connections Norman Leboon, 38, of the 1600 block of Brenner Street, has with any political party.

I also can't wait to hear his explanation, and further what was actually contained in the video.

I hope he goes to trail and there is no plea bargain so we can see if it was something really threatening or can it be seen another way.

At this point we know pretty much nothing.

We know that some of the treat claims are a PONY as Obama brilliant.

We know the Lefties have lied for months about threats and hate speech when all the time 99.9% of hate speech has come from Liberals who have set the stage for all kinds of false flag operations, like Pelosi claiming 70s violence when in fact it was from the left the violence came.

Then there is; "Rock Thrown Through Ohio Dem Rep's Office Window. Reality: Office is on 30th Floor of Cincinnati Skyscraper..."

Can anyone name a person who can throw a rock over 300 feet straight up through a window?

If you know such a person send them to the NY Yankees, they could use a pitcher with that kind of arm.

Is there something you're basing that on or should I just put you on ignore now?

Uh, he based it on an example right after your italics. LOL

Using his sampling size, (one) it would actually be 100% liberals, not 99.9%.

Hopefully I don't have to explain the difference between anecdotes and statistics.

Texas is not an independent state. When they signed the treaty to become a state they had an option whether to be one state or split up into many. They forfeited their own independent sovereignty when they signed the treaty annexing Texas to the United States and the federal government took on all debts from the Republic of Texas. They do not have a right to secede under law. Besides the Civil War very much put an end to that question.

Really you need that one answered for you? I could remember one of the bloodiest events of our history had to do with secession.

Secession is an unamerican concept.
