Title: What Obama Hath Unleashed Against Eric Cantor
Post by: Pandora on October 28, 2011, 10:54:52 AM

It’s been about nine months now since Democrats, dripping with sanctimony, suggested conservative rhetoric was what caused a lunatic to shoot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and it was time to “change the tone.” (http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2011/10/26/obama-hath-unleashed-eric-cantor/)

Quote

That this was actually a transparent attempt to silence conservatives is now all the more apparent as President Obama and his Democratic allies proceed with their plan to destroy House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.).

I wrote two weeks ago about about Obama’s anti-Cantor campaign. I said it probably wouldn’t stick. I was mistaken.

There is nothing wrong with criticizing the Republican leader. Cantor takes strong stands, and it’s everyone’s right to argue against them with due vigor.

But what’s going on is an effort to make Cantor the emblem of all the evil Democrats are sure is residing within the dark hearts of Republicans. They need symbol to run against, and it’s better politics to run against the Devil than a flawed Saint.

In a piece this running this morning, Politco describes Cantor’s effort to recover his identity.

More of the politics of personal destruction.

You'll never get anywhere playing nice with all this trash...you have to expose the trash for being trash and ask We the People what we would like to do about this trash and then do it.

They don't expect Cantor to push back, it's not his style. 
He's more in the Boehner league.

Yup.

Rot at the core spreads outwards.
