Cantor criticizes Rush for Hitler-Obama comparison

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."

This post was a total waste of bandwidth (more so than your other more "creative" posts)

Golly, and your multiple posts of ignorant one-line comments were an outstanding use of bandwidth. The whole of the Al Gore-created internet is now justified by the fact that you can now share your abject ignorance, intensified by your delusional sense of superiority, with the whole conservative world. Keep up the good work.

You seem to have this figured out well.

Your still doing it. Stop posting non-sense.

Wrong again, buddy. It was not a great win, but it was a win, because the leftist posing as a Republican got booted, essentially from the GOP.

It was a solid loss, as evidenced by the fact that Mr. Owens has already come out saying he'll vote for Pelosi's bill.

HUH

What was the difference of Dede winning and a Dem

NOTHING but by your logic we should just support the letter R instead of looking at the person and where they stand.

[hoosier hick]

Cantor has been a real disappointment: he was a better leader when he wasn’t part of the Republican leadership. Time to move Mike Pence up a slot— better yet, how about 2 slots.....

Obama is NOT Hitler.

Hitler served in his nation’s military, Obama didn’t even try to be a cub scout.

Hitler wanted to build up his military, not destroy it.

Hitler wanted to kill all the Jews in Europe, while Obama is doing things that will get them killed by others.

Hitler didn’t constantly appologize for Germany.

Hitler was an evil mad man...Obama is just a clueless facists marxist airhead.

You don't see Democrats ever apologizing for other Democrats. You only see Republicans scolding conservatives, which delights the Marxist hosts of most of these news outlets.

But there doesn't seem to be any way to communicate this to whiney, guilt-ridden, masochistic little twerps like Cantor who seem eager to get beaten up about something another person may or may not have done. It's maddening to watch them behave like this. Did Cantor have anything to say about Grayson's statement about the Holocaust and how the GOP is bringing it about? If he did, did anybody report it?

You don't seem to understand the purpose behind an election ...

You said It was not a great win, but it was a win,

That is not a correct statement.

Real EASY way to clear up the confusion, Just remember this one simple statement:

The point of any election is to be declared the winner.

Hope This Helps!!!

That is the sole purpose of an election, if you are a short-sighted sucker. As I explained earlier, Skuzzywhatshername was merely a Democrat running as a Republican. Electing her would have been a victory for nobody except liberals. The fact that her campaign, despite the full support of the GOP chapter to the tune of several $100,000s, was booted out of race by a grass roots effort of conservatives, shows 2 things: 1) the power of that movement, 2) RINOs will not be tolerated. This means that, though we did not get the conservative in this time, the GOP will have to favor the conservative candidates in the future or risk further humiliation, and that translates to an overall increase in the conservative presence in Congress.

This is chess, not checkers, kid. You've got to think many moves ahead to understand the game. Who cares if you sacrifice a pawn if it gets you a rook? Who cares if you sacrifice a rook to get the king? Try to see the big picture from now on.

[pissant]

Cantor is a jellyfish.

[manc]

read their info which he/she wrote about themselves and that will explain everything about how a young kid is right up their own arse and hates everyone.
old folks
social consefvatives
etc

Wayyyyyy past time.

[dfwgator]

Besides I would compare Obama more to Stalin.

[manc]

or the poster could actually look at this as a war, we lost a battle but we have now positioned ourselves in a better position for the future in the war

the crap of voting for Dede was better than the Dem is crap and totally stupid.

Dede would have voted with bozo all the time she even ,mentioned about going to the Dems so why on earth would anyone think that the letter has anything to do with it.

I couldn’t care less if they had even double in the house so long as those Dems do not vote for bozo and this radical agenda

[1776 Reborn]

Very true. I just think some words work better than others
if we can resist from using this term. (I know, these people do provoke our patience and vocabularies.)

Your still doing it. Stop posting non-sense.

And you are still misspelling "you're". And now you've added the misspelling of "nonsense" to your repertoire.

It was a solid loss, as evidenced by the fact that Mr. Owens has already come out saying he'll vote for Pelosi's bill.

Of course he will. He's a Dem. What would have sucked worse is when Scuzzafava voted for Pelosi's bill with that 'R' next to her name. And you know she would have.

[Antoninus]

Sadly, Cantor has aroma of RINO dung rising around him lately. Not to be trusted.

[r9etb]

And you know she would have.

No, actually, I don't. And neither do you. You only spin it that way to make this solid loss look like something other than what it is.

Obama is NOT Hitler....Hitler was an evil mad man...Obama is just a clueless facists marxist airhead.

True enough, but I'm sure even Obama can dream. What worries me is that the incompetent Obama is working for evil mad men.
