Dog Bites Man. Sun Rises In East. Eric Cantor Lies.
Posted by Phoenix Woman on March 26, 2010
Anyone with access to a TV yesterday got to see Eric Cantor not only join other Republicans in huffily blaming the Democrats for the wave of teabagger-inflicted violence the Dems are suffering in the wake of the health care bill’s passage, but insisting that he, too, was the target of political violence.
It only took a couple of hours to find out he was lying (h/t Blue Texan):
According to police, Eric Cantor was mistaken. His staff office in Richmond, Va. was not targeted by political extremists as he claimed earlier today with so much partisan pizazz. Instead, a bullet fired into the air at 1 a.m. on Tuesday happened to fall at just such a trajectory that it punctured the office’s front window and fell some inches from it.
Police in Richmond said late Thursday that bullet was fired randomly, and that Cantor’s office was in no way the target.
Will Cantor apologize? Will James O’Keefe apologize for producing his heavily-edited and padded-after-the-fact ACORN smear job? Somehow I doubt it.

Of course Cantor won’t apologize. He knew even before he claimed his office was targeted that the shot was random. He wasn’t just jumping to conclusions, he was deliberately misrepresenting the event.

They had to throw up something, MEC. They remember what happened after the Murrah Federal Building bombing. It was the beginning of the end of their power.

You could tell he wasn’t telling the truth when he said it, then he said the threatening emails he had received he was not sharing then you really knew he was telling a lie.I am from Virginia and he embarrassed the whole state he is the one fanning the flame.Didn’t he know that the someone was going to check it out.

Carol,these people know they’ll get a free pass from the media. That’s why they tell Big Lies. Because they can get away with it. It’s called “impunity.”
