CNN Asks Cantor If Loss Due to Anti-Semitism
A rhino kvetsher? No, of course not. It's anti-Semitism that's to blame. Why do you think I'm doing this interview ?
"Perhaps if we shout, 'Emanuel Goldstein,' very loudly, they'll forget about Iraq, boss."
"Can't hurt, kid. Everyone knows Jews are like dogs for that stuff."

#1  Cantor was elected in my conservative district several times. If anything the district has been infiltrated by Northeast liberals. If anti-semitism is the issue then it would be the new folks moving into the district causing the difference.

During the election the only person mentioning Dave Brat was Cantor. Brat had no money and no campaign.

#2  Need a spinning top graphic. You know, that's a little more civilized than simply calling bullshit.

#3  Neither antisemitism nor philosemitism were factors in the honourable Congressman's career. The question is being raised by left-wing rags like CNN and the New York Times, and by Jewish Democratic activists seeking to tar Republicans now with what they would not credit them then.

#4  Cantor, oh. He's Jewish then I guess?
Posted by: Shipman || 06/16/2014 12:22 Comments || Top||

#5  Anti-Semitism - not that it doesn't exist, but if spun properly, it will look like Racism and, by extension, smear the victor and his supporters.

I would expect nothing less.

#6  Cantor finds no humour in Laura Ingraham comment.

"Cantor kept his smile but displayed a rare flash of anger. “Listen, I’m not into blaming anybody,” he began, “but I will say that the suggestion that I should’ve been traded to the Taliban for Sgt. Bergdahl really is not a serious contribution to any public policy debate.”

#7  Well, I find humor in Mr. Cantor's retort!

#8  “Listen, I’m not into blaming anybody,” he began, “but I will say that the suggestion that I should’ve been traded to the Taliban for Sgt. Bergdahl really is not a serious contribution to any public policy debate.”

I agree. It would have been much better to trade McCain or Boehner.

Mitt Romney labels the 'Hildebeast' clueless.
Master of the obvious, kindly move over please.
Ask, and ye shall receive. Sometimes, anyway. ;-)

#1  Romney is looking to be a fucking prophet.
Posted by: DarthVader || 06/16/2014 0:37 Comments || Top||

#2  I think he's trying to grow a ball for use during the upcoming primary debates.

#3  Clueless is actually one of the nicer things you can say about Hillary.
Posted by: SteveS || 06/16/2014 3:41 Comments || Top||

#4  Unfortunately, this places Hill on the same level as a lot of voters. (They can identify with it.)(Oh, and, sorry, no sarcasm.)

#5  One of the cultural problems of the Left is the inability to understand anyone thinking different than themselves. That's why the default accusation of 'racism' is dropped so often from their lips. So, when their world comes apart around them, they are absolutely incapable of questioning their fundamental beliefs as being invalid. Color that with the insular nature of the urban culture they so love and inhabit, it just has to be 'that way' because, to them, there is no other. Thus, to the outsider view, they're clueless.

#6  One of the cultural problems of the Left is the inability to understand anyone thinking different than themselves. You have nailed it. A trait of ideologues is tunnel vision. Couple that with a narcissistic leader and we all have a problem.

#7  I call it tribeopathy. It's like a form of group based psychopath.

#8  A NYT post over at Drudge: Rebels’ Fast Strike in Iraq Was Years in the Making For this to occur, there had to be many in Iraq sympathetic to ISIS. Our intelligence capability was wiped out when we left.

#9  Gee. Tough talk like that might have come in handy during the 2012 election cycle.

#10  Romney suffers from the pathology of white guilt, embedded in the fiber of Obama; cleverly adopted long ago by the Clintons ["First Black President"].
Posted by: Besoeker || 06/16/2014 9:49 Comments || Top||

#11  Pot, kettle.

Iraq
Champ's Bush hangover
[Politico] Six years in, Barack Obama is still battling a Bush hangover. The rising chaos in Iraq -- and the blame game over who's responsible -- are the latest reminders that halfway through his own second term, he's still often more consumed by dealing with the legacy of President George W. Bush than building his own.
The Bush 'blame game' damage control roll out.

#3  One could expect nothing less from birdcage liner rags like Politico.

#4  I can guarantee we never would have got in this mess if Jefferson didn't wet his pants for cheap land and fossils.

#5  Yes, they must have fed the trolls this weekend as a childhood friend, now a public serpent, with whom our politics disagree texted me this morning slobbering about W and Dickweed Chaney getting us into this mess... He had been quiet through the last 3,4,5 weekly crisis 's...somebody flipped the rock he lives under over.

#6  Probably irritates the sh*t out of him to have that big damned AC in the gulf...Well, I hope.
