I'm waiting for Cantor's response to 'blood libel'.

[sadbear]

Mr. Cantor, do you have a statement? Mr. Cantor?

[bemildred]

1. Indeed. nt

[RagAss]

2. He's waiting for Rush to tell him what to say.....Disgrace !!!

[arbusto_baboso]

3. Forget it. He invented an "attack" on his own campaign office, remember?

He's another one of the "Republicans are the true victims" assholes, too. That's a stronger tie for him than his Judaism.

[somone]

4. He already declined to comment:

US House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, the first Jewish Republican to hold the post, declined to comment specifically on the "blood libel" allegation. But Cantor spokeswoman Laena Fallon, asked about the comments, urged "all Americans" to "keep their hearts, prayers, and hopes with Congresswoman Giffords, the victims of this horrific tragedy, and their families who are no doubt grieving today and in need of our collective support."

5. That's right. "Move along. Nothing to see here." That's their default message. nt

[AspenRose]

13. Ugh, just what I expected.

:puke:

Where is your pride, man? Your sense of conviction? Ugh!

[gratuitous]

6. I would not advise holding your breath

Mr. Cantor may not even realize a response might be merited.

[Lint Head]

7. Maybe he's not really Jewish at heart. If he doesn't say something

he is denying the deaths of Jews during the Crusades and since. Blood libel has the word "blood " in it for a good reason. Blood is mentioned throughout the Old and New Testament.

8. would he decline comment if Alan Grayson said that?

hmmmmmmmm

[Cirque du So-What]

10. Hard to imagine Mr. Grayson, who is Jewish, saying such a thing

but I understand your point.

[Doctor_J]

9. The most self-hating Jew on the planet

He is pathetic

[Canuckistanian]

11. He'll be told to shut up and "take one for the team"

Party loyalty trumps personal convictions with them. Every time.

[tallahasseedem]

12. Don't you feel the wind...

from his staff trying to spin this? It will be interesting indeed...

14. He's only Jewish when it serves his interests....

or he can exploit the fact... He'll defend her, just like Dershowitz.

[K8-EEE]

16. LOL he'd be ALL OVER it if a Dem had said it that's for sure

Although I can't think of one stupid enough to say it!
