Eric Cantor’s Selective Condemnation

.

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, wonderful of Cantor to speak out…except this: Where the hell was he for the last year and a half when Obama was being compared to not only Hitler but to Mao, Lenin, Stalin and Satan himself?  Where was he when his party remained silent when Obama was being called a terrorist and Muslim?  Where was he when members of his own party made false claims of death panels in the health bill?

By way of his silence, Cantor was signaling that he had no problem with the smear and lies.  And now, the only Jewish Republican in Congress finds it offensive when Dachau is brought up by crazed teabaggers but yet every other ridiculous assertion by these ignorant mental midgets was not worthy of condemnation.

Go climb back under your rock, Cantor.
