when the facts are not on your side, take the current republican tactic as Cantor did, find some "fact" and make up a story to appear as if you are the victim of some conspiracy.
This is an enlightening piece when pared with the statements of Cantor, which make it sound like a targeted attack, though it doesn't overly alarm him, implying that the targeted attacks on Democrats are being overblown and played out with far too much emotional brouhaha. From the police reports it sounds as if the bullet was fired from so far away that if it actually was targeted at Cantor the shooter would be one of the gratest marksmen ever. Who knows, maybe the bullet came from some right-winger shooting at an eagle a mile away.
