I hadn't realized Obamacare had a logo. Thanks, Congressman Cantor, for making me aware.

GOP leaders have been loathe to criticize Rush Limbaugh -- but House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) is taking issue with Limbaugh's claim that President Obama's push for health care was comparable to Hitler's stranglehold on Germany.
Cantor, the highest-ranking Jewish Republican elected official in the country, told Bloomberg News that his party needs to be more inclusive to regain power.
“The Republican Party in its roots is a party of inclusion and we ought to be promoting that and making sure that voices are heard,” Cantor, of Virginia, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” airing today.
Cantor praised Limbaugh as a voice of the conservative movement. But Cantor objected when asked about Limbaugh’s comments that Adolf Hitler “like Barack Obama, also ruled by dictate" -- and about Rush's comparison of the Obama administration’s health-care logo to a swastika.
“Do I condone the mention of Hitler in any discussion about politics?” Cantor said. “No, I don’t, because obviously that is something that conjures up images that frankly are not, I think, very helpful.”
A Cantor spokesman also said that signs at Thursday's Hill Tea Party showing murdered Jews at Dachau were "inappropriate."
Okay.....add Cantor to the list....
Wow. It just keeps growing.
Those that forget the past are doomed to elect RINOS and demoncrats...
lol
Open your eyes Cantor.
And listen to what Rush actually said, while you are at it.
Cantor’s idea of inclusion is DEDE.
He gave his support to that backstabber.
Remove him from his leadership post.
Sounds like this guy bought into the big tent at any cost strategy.
Yep, work to remove him imo.
Cantor STFU or go join the democrats!
Leave ElRushbo alone.
and
We are ticked off so get out of way!
Bssstt!!
Wrong Answer!
I hope Cantor’s apology letter is on Rush’s desk by the time Rush gets to work Monday morning.
Absolutely. GOP is the party of inclusion? What plank is that other than the imaginary one placed there by RINOs?
I suspect any Republican this stupid is also far too dense to explain Rush’s context.

Ugh. And these idiots really think they can win in 2010 by attacking conservatives. Did Cantor not see what happened in NY 23?
Cantor has the Republican foot in mouth disease. He must have studied under Newt G.
TODAY -— This just in: Certain Freepers turn on Eric Cantor.
COMING TOMORROW: Certain Freepers turn on [insert Republican’s name here].
IN THE NEXT 5 TO 10 MINUTES: Cantor will be called a RINO shortly by the ever “perfect conservatives” of FR.
Sigh.
That's what Limbaugh is doing, providing a voice to be heard that otherwise would not. Those voices, Limbaugh, Beck, O'Reilley, Hannity, those attending tea parties and town halls, need to be heard. By and large, up to now, they haven't been heard. We need to hear those voices, not just the voices of Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Hoyer, Rangle, Sharpton, Jackson, Goldberg, Couric, Rather, Olbermann, Blitzer, and all the others which is all we'd hear otherwise.
Richmond ping.
I am so over Cantor. He sold his soul to the devil of political power and expediency.
