My dad just now: "It's a reflection of his mother" re: Cantor interrupting Obama 3 times

[wndycty]

I love my dad he put it in perspective. Simply put Eric Cantor just wasn't raised right.

[RKP5637]

1. There's a lot lacking in Cantor. Your dad has it right, Cantor's a product of

lousy upbringing. And also an absolute jerk.

[LetTimmySmoke]

26. Cantor oozes slime.

[SharonAnn]

28. He doesn't get it! Obama is the PRESIDENT! He's not a junior staffer.

This is disrespect and it's intentional.

[Snotcicles]

2. Petulant POS. nt

[Whisp]

3. did he know Cantor's mom?

didn't Cantor have a dad?

not sure what you mean. Hope not that only women are responsible for brats.

[RKP5637]

5. Good point! One could also say he's a product of bad breeding! n/t

[wndycty]

6. Oh brother. . .

:kick:

[malaise]

4. My paternal grandma would make that comment

:D

[REP]

7. Crack about Jewish mothers?

[Hutzpa]

11. Where did you see that to insinuate such a idealogue.

some of you are just looking to make shit up. :banghead:

[REP]

24. In English please

I have the feeling you're trying to insult me but not succeeding.

[Hutzpa]

29. If I was trying to insult you I would have

but not in this instance, but good try at being ignorant though.

Sometimes people just need to lighten up or step away from the
keyboard every 20 minutes, it helps.

[wndycty]

13. A crack about Jewish mothers? No, more like if your parents (my dad chose the mother). . .

. . .had done their job and raised him right, this would not have happened.

My dad is 77 years old so he is old school and since he was raised by his mother he'd assume Cantor was.

[REP]

25. My mother is the same age and knows better

But both she and her mother graduated college.

[idiotgardener]

30. Not to disparage your dad...

because though I think his remark was a bit sexist I doubt he meant it that way.

But in 77 years you don't think he realized that everyone was not raised the same way as him?

[Maru Kitteh]

33. I'm sure his father realizes that Cantor was raised without manners, respect or decency.

Do you?

[idiotgardener]

36. Do you?

Not sure what you mean. You didn't seem to reply to what I said.

37. I have a feeling this is supposed to be an insult

but without punctuation or grammar it's hard to tell.

[JuniperLea]

39. Many of you in this thread could use better equipment...

[JuniperLea]

38. Hey, Jewish mothers have the right to be bad mothers too...

No matter where you want to draw your imaginary social lines, there are bad mothers in every group.

If you are going to stir shit for no good reason, you should at least get a better spoon.

[liberal N proud]

8. Interrupting seems to be a right wing asshole trait

I have seen it from any of them on the boob tube and personal experiences. They interrupt consistently.

[RKP5637]

12. And generally with a stupid smile also plastered on their face. n/t

[no_hypocrisy]

9. Bet he interrupted his rabbi as a kid as well.

[WheelWalker]

10. The sins of the children

are visited upon the parents?

How people treat you is their Karma;
How you react is yours.

[neverforget]

14. just another exampl of self centered, selfish, arrogant behavior AKA Republicans

[OffWithTheirHeads]

15. Sadly, I find this attitude all too common among those born with a silver foot in their mouth

almost everything they have has been handed to them yet, somehow, they think they have earned it and the rest of us are just lazy parasites. I'd love to see this asshole spend a week picking Strawberries for a living. Then, I'd love to see him try to live off the proceeds of his labor. Unfortunatly, this disconnect seems to be the rule among our "elected" representatives. Almost without exception, they are or soon will be millionairs who have completly lost touch with the people who actually work for a living. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out. Just look at how they dress and their hair styles. Nobody in my life dresses like them (both men, but especially women) and no one I have ever met wears their hair in the "Washington" way. Seriously. Do you know ANYONE who wears their hair like Blago or helmet head ? This is a Washington insider fashion statement.

I look at my friends and neighbors and then I look at pictures from Washington and all I can think is that the pod people have arrived.

[RKP5637]

19. And the way our system is rigged unless one has tons of money and

some pretty lofty contacts, chances are one is never going to see DC. Local elections and maybe state elections, but generally it takes big bucks and contacts to get to DC. So, they all come preloaded with cash and IMO most of them have nothing in common with the majority of the country. Like George Carlin says, it's an old boys club, and we ain't part of it.

Yeah, some of the hair styles in the DC club are pretty lame, and a number of them are plastered down wigs.

[DURHAM D]

16. His mother? Really? His mother?

good grief

I would expect this sort of drivel by Freepers, not on DU.

JFTR - I don't believe you re: your father. This prejudice/problem is all yours.

[wndycty]

17. I am quoting my father directly, who was raised by his MOTHER. . .go look for sexism somewhere else

:kick:

[DURHAM D]

18. You are so blind you don't realize you can not see.

[wndycty]

23. Oh brother. Get over yourself

:kick:

[elleng]

20. Don't disagree with the premise, but didn't he have a father???

[gkhouston]

27. Don't know the OP's family background, but "His mama didn't raise him right"

is a saying in the South.

[elleng]

31. Guess so. Well, Richmond, VA's South, sort of, but

(and this really disturbs me) his family's Jewish. OY.

[Duke Newcombe]

21. "No home training"...

that was the first thing that popped into my mind as well. Didn't his Momma teach him not to interrupt grown folk when they're talking?

[Hardrada]

22. Children should be seen but not heard.

Aaxim of my youth. I was kind of a talkative kid but I knew when to STFU.

[MadMaddie]

32. Cantor like the rest of the Republicans think that they

are untouchable....it's about perceived power.....the rudeness, the racism and the acts against this countries future shows who their masters are.

[Cereal Kyller]

35. Poor Eric

He looks exactly like the kid who always got beaten up in the schoolyard.
