The Democrats just can’t get their talking points right on Eric Cantor (R-VA).
It was only last year when Cantor’s name was mentioned as a possible Vice Presidential pick that the Democrats wanted everyone to know he’s a Jew. They didn’t mention the religion of any of the other potential candidates.
Now, however, they are accusing Eric Cantor, who is Jewish, of fostering Nazism in the United States.
Hari Sevugan of the Democratic National Committee sent out an email earlier today with this:
It’s disgusting that rather than condemning this hate filled symbolism and mob activity, the highest echelons of the Republican party from Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck on down, are encouraging it - and that the likes of Michael Steele and Eric Cantor are fanning the flames of this is reprehensible. The repeated use of Nazi symbolism at community meetings by the Republican incited mob proves that these protests have nothing to do with health care, but rather that the Republican party is willing to sink to the lowest, most despicable levels to accomplish their goal of “breaking” President Obama.
That’s just how desperate the Democrats are — accusing a Jewish Republican of fanning the flames of Nazism and the use of Nazi symbols.
I would have liked to have gotten a comment from Eric Cantor on this, but he is in Israel this week. Ironic.
American taxpayers engaging in their First Amendment right to speak and protest to their elected representatives is akin to being a Nazi? These Dems are seriously unhinged and cracking up. They are the one's who are "breaking."
Americans will not be intimidated into silence. We will not go away. We are rising up.
Waterloo, indeed. Viva la Revolucion!
It is not our fault. We can’t help it if the Democrats are Nazis!
“The repeated use of Nazi symbolism”
You’re right, this is the lowest of the low. What a disgrace this once proud party has become.
Simple, ‘rats!
DON’T ACT LIKE NAZIS
and we won’t point it out.
Selective memory... what do you call that 8 year hate-fest of President Bush?
One thing Democrats need to do, is research where the name “Nazi” came from. It was German slang for “Nationalism”. Now, who do you want to call a Nazi?
They’re going to eat their lies.
To a fully indoctrinated Communist anything right of Ted Kennedy is a NAZI.
Once again, for the unenlightened, NAZIsm is extreme LEFT wing. It was/is an atheistic variant of socialism. Fascism: a form of socialism wherein there is, ostensibly, private ownership of business, but it is completely controlled by the state. GM anyone?
They called protesters “Brown Shirts” as well: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/08/06/fear-loathing-democrats-liken-health-reform-protesters-nazis/
I have yet to see an actual picture of a health care rally that includes a swastika.
That’s because they are politically ignorant.
The only reason that Fascism was in conflict with Communism was that they were competing for people of the same collectivist mindset.
As a matter of fact and observation, what the left is doing today is more akin to fascism than communism.
And why the outrage over Hillary care?
And that legislation that Reagan opposed back in the 1950s when he was still an actor?
Rush played a clip of Barack Obama from a radio interview circa 2003 where he branded the actions of those on the Right to be akin to what the Nazis were doing in Germany in the 1930s.
What the left is doing today is Obamacide. They are killing themselves.
It’s a sad day when a political party will flat out lie. There are no NAZI symbols being used. The most common symbol being used is the “Don’t Tread On Me” flag (which is as American as apple pie.)
Obama’s a special kind of fascist.
He has a racist revenge chip on his shoulder.
He’d like nothing more than to stir up chaos
so that he can bring the power of the state
down on “whitey”.
It sounds like they are making this up out of whole cloth. All that I have heard of is one case of someone carrying a sign with a slash through a swastika. But left-wing websites speculated that the anti-Obama folks would use Nazi symbols, which Nancy Pelosi picked up and repeated, and now it’s being treated as a fact. Reality doesn’t matter—it’s just whatever they can get the media to tell the people.
