Eric Cantor cancels Unversity speech in fear of protestors.

"Wait, you mean ANYBODY can come to this thing? Forget it then!"

From Politico:

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor canceled a speech on income inequality at the University of Pennsylvania Friday morning, after his office was told that the school opened the speech to the public and it was targeted by protesters — including Occupy Philadelphia. 

The Virginia Republican’s speech was pre-empted by protests from liberal groups and unions, who were set to start demonstrating well before the scheduled 4:30 p.m. start time of Cantor’s address. 

Cantor’s office was told that only the university community would be invited to attend the event, but Capitol Police informed the majority leader’s office Thursday night that the first 300 people in line would be allowed in. The Daily Pennsylvanian, the campus paper, reported that protesters were allowed to move from the street onto Penn’s campus hours before the speech was slated to begin. The college paper reported that protesters were planning to be there as early as 9 a.m. 

“The Office of the Majority Leader was informed last night by Capitol Police that the University of Pennsylvania was unable to ensure that the attendance policy previously agreed to could be met,” Cantor spokesman Brad Dayspring said in a statement. “Wharton is an educational leader in innovation and entrepreneurship, and the majority leader appreciated the invitation to speak with the students, faculty, alumni and other members of the UPENN community.” 

Speaking at the Values Voter summit in D.C. earlier this month, Cantor called the Occupy Wall Street protest a mob. He later said that what he was “attempting to say is that the action and statements of leaders, elected leaders in this town, condoning the pitting of Americans against Americans is not very helpful right now.” 

"Pitting Americans against Americans?" You mean like the Koch brothers did by riling up the Teabaggers and having them hold up misspelled signs, scream racial epithets, and spit on a member of Congress?

Cantor is another big talking GOP coward who only wants to appear in venues where the participants are carefully screened and can be counted on NOT to ask him the hard questions or make him look the fool.

Wasn't Eric Cantor the same GOP cry-baby that falsely accused Dems of "fanning the flames of violence" after a bullet fired into the air (By somebody that was unlikely to be a liberal by the way) inadvertently struck his office window?

Gee I wonder if he also wets himself when he sees his own shadow?
