| Cantor Says Campaign Office Was Shot At, Accuses Dems of Exploiting Threats |
| 2010-03-25 |
| Virginia Rep. Eric Cantor said Thursday that his Richmond campaign office has been shot at and that he's received "threatening e-mails" -- but at the same time the House minority whip accused top Democrats of trying to exploit the threats they've been receiving for "political gain." Cantor said "a bullet was shot through the window" of his campaign office. The incident happened Monday, 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. |

| #7 Cantor's statement remains factually correct. The Dems are exploiting the situation, and in most cases are most likely fabricating much of the substance. |

| #6 That's right, wt, that's what was reported on WTOP on the way home a few hours ago. In other words, the Dems attacks are real, by right-wing nuts, while the attacks on the right-wing nuts are fabricated. Got it? |

| #5 The latest police investigation indicates no one shot AT his office. The trajectory of the bullet was from almost straight down, vertical, as in a random shot that went up into the sky and came down through the front glass of the office. |
