Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDo you have a special hatred for Eric Cantor?
Most republicans make me queasy, incredulous, despairing, alienated, fearful, amused, contemptuous, appalled, etc..
But Cantor is like a red flag. A one-man incitment. He's like having a drink thrown in your face.
One of those people, like Gingrich, that you know even their own caucus must despise.

(5,016 posts)however, I wanted to simply point out that the use of the word hatred which is a condition wherein anger has never evaporated but allowed to continue and fester and which as you so eloquently point out that the person who made those verbal threats was filled with hatred.......

http://www2.timesdispatch.com/news/2011/jun/26/tdmet01-schapiro-cantor-splash-a-grab-for-speaker-ar-1133562/
When he graduated from the private Collegiate School in 1981, Eric Cantor chose as the quote that accompanied his portrait in the yearbook, the Torch, a lyric from an operetta by Henry Blossom: "I want what I want when I want it."

It shows that Cantor is not only a traitor to the US people, he is a traitor to his own party.

(4,056 posts)Check out this website: Eric Cantor's bitch face on Tumblr:
http://ericcantorsbitchface.tumblr.com/
They caption pix of him looking like the little snot he is.
And being Semitic (albeit an agnostic) myself, I should take umbrage with the comparisons to his being a Nazi, but since he NEVER objected to the tea baggers and their holocaust pix of dead Jews, I can't fault the comparison. There's a word for Jews who helped the Nazis in the camps, the ones who put their own to death. I can't remember it, but if I do I'll be the first person to call Cantor one of those.
And one more personal anecdote that describes the little schlemiel perfectly: I work for the airlines, and before the Repigs took the house in '10 Cantor showed up to fly on one of our planes. It was just a regional jet that holds 70 people and the little shit brought ****6***** secret service agents with him. Meaning that Cantor and Co were 10 percent of our flight that day, paid for by your tax $$$. Every time he goes on about revenue and spending cuts I just wanna put my fist thru the screen. I have an idea, Cantor: let's start cutting waste by thinning your SS detail by about 5 people. What a fucking hypocrite!

(56,108 posts)I also don't like the comparing of him to Nazis, it is beyond tasteless and bad hyperbole. Even if he doesn't confront those who do it from his side, it is no reason for this side to resort to that bullshit.
I have no use for Cantor.
