Minority Whip Eric Cantor, A Conservative Jew, Says Nothing As His Party Invokes Nazis.

[KittyWampus]

I think maybe some pressure should be brought to bear on Cantor to speak up against the misuse of the term "Nazi" as it's now being used by his party.

"A serious question that ought to be asked directly to Minority Whip Eric Cantor: Why does he not speak out against the comparisons to Nazism? Cantor is a conservative Jew who is an honorary member of the Virginia Holocaust Museum (VHM). It is nothing less than an outrage that Cantor remains silent (actually, he has said "We need Rush Limbaugh") while remaining a honorary member of the VHM. As a Jew, he is effectively spitting in the face of the Holocaust victims. And he is too much of a coward to come out and say anything. It is equally an outrage that the VHM leaders remain silent and let Cantor get away with his silence."

1. Cantor is a fucking wimp.

His wet dream is to crawl up Santorum's asshole and have a "Being John Malkovich" experience.

2. maybe he is one of those people who think they are one of the cool kids...

one of the in crowd... and they don't think they are one of the people their cool friends are making jokes about... or talking ill of.

3. Hint:

Large-Ass RW idiots are at times not aware that some last names are obviously Jewish. Why would "Cantor" (Kanter, Canter, etc.) call attentiion to his ethnicity while playing to the bigots?

:shrug:

4. Strange - he's usually very opinionated

Yet he clams up on this?

[mitchum]

5. Because he is a piepel

6. It is because his party, the party of John Wilkes Booth, hasn't come for the Jews yet. n/t

7. I didn't even know he was Jewish

but if this continues I hate to think what will happen to him... and the rest of us... purely worst case ok. but he will not be given a pass.

8. DU called bush and crew nazis a vast number of times, south park did too

(if they did Obama what would we say)?

Why are we all of the sudden against using nazi to label political opponents? Does not mean I agree with them, but heard it here for 8 years and people seemed to think it was not a bad thing to do then.

Lights on, nobody home.
