Cantor criticizes Rush for Hitler-Obama comparison

GOP leaders have been loathe to criticize Rush Limbaugh -- but House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) is taking issue with Limbaugh's claim that President Obama's push for health care was comparable to Hitler's stranglehold on Germany.

Cantor obviously misses the point that Rush was trying to make.

Seems to be a common deficiency when it comes to elected officials.

This is what happens when citizens keep re-electing the same idiots and expecting different results.

I'm more in favor of congressional term limits now then I have ever been.

Keeping in mind that I unfortunately live in the district of THE most liberal congressman on the Hill, Lloyd Doggett I believe he KNOWS what the people want but he doesn't care.

At one of the town hall meetings he was asked if the people in his district told him they did NOT want health care pushed down their throats, what would he do and he answered "I'd vote for it anyway".

'Nuf said.

When libs protested on capitol hill about 5 years ago, they yeilded signs referring to Bush as Hitler - Rush and S.H. both went on record to say that the hatred displayed by such protests was extreme and immoral.  What a hypocrite.  And yet, you loyal followers can't get enough.  Aren't you all tired of hearing these "shock jocks" (as I lovingly refer to them) shove their nonsense down your throats?  Are you truly convinced these guys are "loyal americans" / "patriots"  ???  Can't you see through Glen Beck's phony tears?  I mean, the fact that people are still falling for the load of sh*t song and dance is unbelievable.  Do you know that Glen Beck got started in conservative talk radio because his station manager told him that he had to in order to compete with their rival station.  HE WASN'T EVEN A CONSERVATIVE at that point in his life.  So what do Beck, Hannity, and Rush all have in common?  It's not their ability to preach the good word of conservatism and their patriotic natures - It's that they all have the uncanny ability to BS and shock their way to a huge paycheck in the same way Howard Stern and Bubba the LoveSponge do - just a different topic.  Here's a tip - COME UP WITH YOUR OWN OPINION!!!  It's going to be tough to get a nation behind your ideals and ideas when your leader is a radio personality.

You've resorted to calling me a troll.  Great.  Could you please share with me the difference betweens libs calling Bush Hitler and Reps calling Obama Hitler?  Why does Rush think it's immoral when libs do it but patriotic when Reps do?  Any opinion on your end or just another name for me?

Rush isn't our leader you dottering idiot.  He's an outlet...a voice for how the majority of Americans feel and think...nothing more...nothing less.

And I'd rather have someone like Rush rally a nation behind a set of Reagan era ideals than a fu*king community organizer with ZERO experience in politics and ties to the most radical elements in this country.

I call it like I see it meathead.  You show up here mocking the people on this board in one of your first posts. 

You tell me.

Your reading and listening comprehension sucks as bad as Cantor's apparently.

Rush never called Obama Hitler.

But then you'd know that if you actually listened to the show instead of getting your misinformation second hand from Media Mutters.

I have listened to Rush everyday for over 5 years.  Argue semantics if you want but the comparison was there - but you're right - he never specifically said that Obama is a reincarnation of Hitler.

You listened to Rush, or you listened to what Media Matters said Rush said?  Bit of a difference there, troll.

You can draw parallels between what Obama is doing and a few policies Hitler enacted. Can you between Bush and Hitler?

Here's a tip - COME UP WITH YOUR OWN OPINION!!!

Uhh.... Radio personalities don't form my opinion for me.  Now, if they happen to say things with which I agree, which is what happened with conservative radio, then to claim these individuals are forming my opinion is dishonest.

You might want to start over.  So far you're batting .000, and it's getting worse.

Then I refer you to the specific qualifications based upon experience.

Prior to the 2008 elections, what experience did Obama have in dealing with foreign governments?

(crickets)

Prior to the 2008 elections, what experience did Palin have in dealing with foreign governments?

Hmmm...how about fishing rights with the Russians, Canadians, and Japanese, pipeline issues with the Canadians, etc?
