Funny, this wasn't an issue during the primary campaign. In fact I had no idea what Cantor's religious affiliation was.

Just why is it important now?

I figured that he was Jewish because "cantor" was usually associated with Judaism. Remember Eddie Cantor?

From Wikipedia: Eddie Cantor, born Edward Israel Iskowitz, was an American "illustrated song" performer, comedian, dancer, singer, actor and songwriter. Wikipedia.

I used to see him in old movies. He was great.

To paint conservatives as anti-Semite. Nevermind that his religious affiliation never came up and played no role in either his victories or his loss. Time for the victim card.

“And not only that; it also means there will likely be no Republicans in Congress who profess to be anything other than a Christian.”

Not true. I believe Keith Ellison is a Muslim and didn’t he take the oath of office with his hand on the Book of Satan er the Koran?

ALinsky tactics.

The shooters in Las Vegas allegedly draped a victim with a Gadsen Flag with a swastika on it (that alone is a cognitive disconnect, imho, and why that event reeks).

The media are trying desperately to make some sort of connection between the TEA party and neo-nazis and such.

It was one of the attacks used (with some success) on Militia groups during the Clinton Administration after the Oklahoma City Bombing, equating the then equivalent of 'bitter clingers' (Bible reading, Constitution suppporting, gun-owner types) with the likes of Stormfront.

It is part of the Left's campaign to present Conservatives as a 'hate group' in order to get people to dissociate themselves from Conservative values, especially with the anti-RKBA media putsch going on as a preparatory bombardment for the next assault on the Second Amendment, partly as a distraction from the crimes of the Bergdahl swap.

It was well publicized that Cantor is a Jew...but what does that have to do with the price of tea in china.? Did Cantor represent his district or was he an actor for the GOPe.? Since the voters in his district were the arbiters of his job performance we know the answer don’t we. But they will do anything to paint conservatives as “phobics”
