A Philadelphia man was charged Monday with threatening to kill Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and his family in the first such arrest since an outbreak of harassment and vandalism began against members of Congress more than a week ago.

Norman Leboon, 33, posted a YouTube video last week in which he threatened to shoot Cantor, the second-ranking Republican in the House, and his family.

An affidavit released Monday did not say why Leboon allegedly wanted to harm Cantor, the only Jewish Republican member of Congress, but in the video, he calls Cantor "pure evil."

"Remember Eric . . . our judgment time, the final Yom Kippur has been given," he says in the profanity-laced video. "You are a liar, you're a pig . . . you're an abomination. You receive my bullets in your office, remember they will be placed in your heads. You and your children are Lucifer's abominations."

The battle over health care has led to a spate of threats against members of Congress, mostly Democrats. At least 10 House Democrats reported death threats, or incidents of harassment or vandalism at their district offices last week, including thrown bricks, a cut gas line and threatening letters and calls.

Cantor engaged in a war of words with Democratic leaders last week, accusing Democratic National Committee Chairman Timothy M. Kaine and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Chris Van Hollen (Md.) of "fanning the flames" and politicizing the subject of threats.

We know who started all this, back when Obama was nominated; the only important thing is that both sides COULD stop it if they'd stop using it for publicity and speak out. Which one will?

Federal records indicate a Norman Leboon Sr. of Philadelphia donated $255 to Obama's campaign on June 20, 2008, followed the next day by a $250 donation. They are the only federal-level donations made by a person with the surname "Leboon" on record.




The face of peace.
