Cantor Says Tea Party's Dachau Photos 'Inappropriate,' Takes Issue With Limbaugh

[RamboLiberal]

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."

Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY) has also condemned the poster.

Cantor, in an interview today with Bloomberg, also offered some criticism of radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh's comparison of President Obama to Adolf Hitler.

"Do I condone the mention of Hitler in any discussion about politics?" said Cantor, who is the only Jewish Republican in Congress. "No, I don't, because obviously that is something that conjures up images that frankly are not, I think, very helpful."

3. I am glad Cantor said that. I wish it would get more coverage. He should call out his colleagues

who are complicit with this.

[bluestateguy]

4. And there you have it

A gentle admonition, and that's about all that we will get.

5. It didn't seem to bother him yesterday as he was busy

pontificating in front of the adoring small crowd.

6. It'll be interesting to see how the media apologists for all things right wing respond to this

Especially those who are of the Jewish faith.

Whatcha gotta say about this Howard Kurtz?

It's gotten out of control and it's starting to bite some people in the ass.

7. He'll be apologizing to Limbaugh on Monday.

If not sooner.

8. Oh, Shut the Hell Up Eric!

Cantor likes to brag that he holds James Madison's House of Representative seat in Congress. James Madison should rise up out of the grave and beat the shit out of him for being a fucking disgrace...
