Incredibly stupid, no matter what side of the debate you are on.
Posting a threat on YouTube????!!

A Philadelphia man was arrested and charged with threatening to kill the Republican party whip in the U.S. House of Representatives. Norman Leboon, 38, posted a video on YouTube threatening the lives of Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia and his family. Leboon was a fugitive from state charges of making unspecified terroristic threats.
An FBI affidavit makes no mention of an incident last Tuesday when a bullet smashed through a window at Cantor's campaign office in Richmond ab out 1 a.m. Police have said their investigation indicated the bullet was a stray from a randomly fired handgun.
OpenSecrets.org found "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." The same address where he was arrested.

UPDATE (Apr 7) - Leboon has been found incompetent to stand trial and ordered to undergo psychiatric treatment. He will be sent "to a federal prison with a mental-health facility for four months, with the goal of treating him so he is capable of standing trial." (Philadelphia Inquirer)
