Congressman Eric Cantor

. Congressman Eric Cantor demonstrates what hypocrisy is all about. At yesterday’s tea party rally on Capitol Hill, at least one protester brandished a large graphic photograph of the victims of the Dachau Nazi concentration camp, comparing health care reform to Nazi policies. Today, Rep. Eric Cantor’s (R-VA) spokesman called the photograph “inappropriate.” Also, in an interview with Bloomberg , Cantor denounced Rush Limbaugh for comparing President Obama to Adolf Hitler. “Do I condone the mention of Hitler in any discussion about politics? No, I don’t, because obviously that is something that conjures up images that frankly are not, I think, very helpful.” Ok, ... Read Full Story

 Rep. Eric Cantor nails it in article: Under fire for its management of a wave of problems, the Obama administration has reached into its bag of tricks and pulled out a new bogeyman: Fox News….Given the seriousness of the challenges our nation faces, the administration’s ploy to delegitimize Fox is nothing more than a distraction. On Sunday, the White House communications director charged that Fox is not a real “news network.” Why? Because the White House says so…..The administration repeatedly accuses Fox of lies and has urged the rest of the media not to treat it like a news organization. The White House is ...

The next time you see unctuous GOP pom-pom boy Eric Cantor on TV, remember that he is an anti-union, pro-tax-cut-for-the-rich buffoon whose response to the AFSCME ad blitz is this profane, noxious piece of s#!@, sent to TalkingPointsM emo.com by an aide: For the uninitiated, AFSCME is the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, and they have run TV ads targeting Cantor and his fellow GOP obstructionists for their automatic "no" votes on the economic stimulus package. From The Plum Line: Brad Woodhouse, the head of Americans United for Change, which is also funding the initial ad hitting the GOP leadership, sends ... Read Full Story

Commentary: Big risk in Obama’s economic stimulus plan Bolstered by wide Democratic margins in both chambers of Congress, the new administration assumes power Tuesday with a broad public mandate to repair the feeble economy. But with such a free hand over current stimulus efforts comes great danger. Costing at the very least a hefty $825 billion, the plan’s potential for taxpayer waste and special-interest-driven giveaways is enormous. We Republicans believe we can help mitigate those risks if we are given a meaningful place at the table. President-elect Barack Obama was correct to point out recently that no one party has a monopoly over sound ... Read Full Story

Sam Stein on Huffington Post had this item on Virginia GOP Confederate and serious party ladder- climber Rep. Eric Cantor, who we've written about previously on JackRabbit Café… Usually, in war and politics, the victor writes the history. In the case of the soon-to-be-signed stimulus package, however, neither side is admitting defeat. Republicans in the House of Representatives are trying to mold success out of what is, at its core, a legislative failure. The most recent bit of gloating: a back-slapping YouTube clip from minority whip Eric Cantor's office, set to the tune of Aerosmith's "Back In The Saddle." "The House GOP is back," ... Read Full Story
