#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.

#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, Im not into blaming anybody, he began, but I will say that the suggestion that I shouldve 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!

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