Man Who Threatened Cantor Not Fit For Trial
The man who threatened House Minority Whip Eric Cantor and his family in a YouTube video is not fit to stand trial and will be sent to a prison mental health facility for four months for treatment, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

A federal judge ordered Norman Leboon, who is 38, to undergo psychiatric treatment before he can stand trial. He will likely be sent to a facility in Butner, N.C.

Leboon was arrested for a video in which he says Cantor will "receive my bullets in your office, remember they will be placed in your heads. You and your children are Lucifer's abominations."

He had a history of making threatening videos, and was arrested last summer for threatening to have the angel Gabriel kill his roommate.

3. notice how RW crazies sound just like RW talk show hosts
and this guy sounds nothing like any liberal anywhere.

Ever hear Michael Moore for example talk about "Lucifer's abominations"?

4. He still proved to be useful to the right wingers
who held him up as proof the left was guilty of the same things they were doing.

7. That's not how the MSM painted it. They painted it like he was someone the Dems
would invite to their convention.

8. I Think Cantor Threw A Stink To Have This Guy Arrested And Publicized The Hell Out It
Edited on Wed Apr-07-10 10:37 AM by Beetwasher
And all to cover his ass.

Not that this guy shouldn't have been arrested, but it never had anything to do with Cantor, specifically. And the only reason it was tied to Cantor was because Cantor made it so to cover his ass and to try say "See! There are threats agains Repubs too!"
