Cantor Says Democrats Politicizing Violence

In a press conference (see video below) Eric Cantor falls short. He and other republicans seem to have blinders on. There is an undercurrent of hate and bigotry that has been stirred in this nation. Racism is alive and well and it has a voice in the tea party movement. Republicans seem to be contributing to the escalation of violence by exploiting fears and blaming democrats for the violence. They say if democrats didn't "ram" through healthcare then people wouldn't be acting out. Really?

Cantor ought to be a bigger person and genuinely call for an end to violence and threats of violence. We all know sincerity when we see it. But Cantor is still blaming. John McCain simply laughed it off this morning. See Nancy Pelosi's press conference here.
