Comments on: The Jewish Reaction to Eric Cantor’s Loss /2014/06/13/the-jewish-reaction-to-eric-cantors-loss/ Politics + Technology = Nonsense at the Speed of Light Tue, 01 Sep 2026 03:05:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.0.22 By: flippityfloppity /2014/06/13/the-jewish-reaction-to-eric-cantors-loss/#comment-10194 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 20:48:54 +0000 /?p=1369#comment-10194 “The comments are a typical putrid brew of racism, xenophobia, illiteracy and anti-Semitism — but there’s also a strain of good old American populism, a strong sense of anger at the fact that America’s corporate executives care more about the bottom line than they do the welfare of the American people.”

One anti=semitic comment of the 73 posted and counting:

“Another left wing Heeb that has the hammer and sickle on his forehead and used the poor class to get where he is.
These are dangerous people-they remind me of what happened in central and Western Europe from 1918 t0 1935 when they stifled competition in cities and villages causing the natives in those cities and villages to despise them,so when WW2 came no one felt sorry for them.”

None I would identify as “racist” but that’s just an opinion. But that’s meaningless when we want to tar & feather the tea party.

Pundits are searching and stretching to divine meaning from Cantor’s downfall — but the real explanation is simple

The jew projects whiny jewish rage onto the tea party. Simple.

Was Mark Zuckerberg the kiss of death for Eric Cantor?, Andrew Leonard, Salon:

The new anti-tech populism. Associating with Silicon Valley CEOs doesn’t play well with the Tea Party

Last November, the Hill reported that Zuckerberg had named immigration reform “one of the biggest civil rights issues of our time.” One has only to look at the comments appended to that article when it was copy-and-pasted to http://www.teaparty.org to see why Brat’s campaign team figured associating Zuckerberg with Cantor was a knockout punch.

The comments are a typical putrid brew of racism, xenophobia, illiteracy and anti-Semitism — but there’s also a strain of good old American populism, a strong sense of anger at the fact that America’s corporate executives care more about the bottom line than they do the welfare of the American people.

Race and jews aside, the tea party comes across more like Democrats than Republicans. But only by not setting race and jews aside can you make any sense of this very jewish distaste for the very White tea party.

But there was no elephant in the room. There wasn’t even a mosquito in the room. Nobody could turn up a single statement or piece of literature coming from the Brat campaign or anyone else that was even remotely anti-Semitic.

“Elephant, what elephant? Nothing to see here, goyim!”

But that is the elephant: Powerful jews constantly complaining about imaginary “anti-semitism”, while powerless Whites are constantly pilloried for imaginary “White privilege”.

An Appalling Cantor Meme, John Podhoretz, Commentary Magazine:

there’s one that’s especially cheap and especially disgraceful. So disgraceful, in fact, that it’s only hinted at in either an easily denied or giggly sort of way. And that is the idea that Cantor lost in his district because he is a Jew.

. . .

But his Judaism had nothing to do with his loss, and the only reason for suggesting otherwise is to tar David Brat and the voters of the seventh congressional district in Virginia with the taint of anti-Semitism. Shameful.

“Disgrace! Shame!” Podhoretz is speaking as a jew to other jews, telling them that this isn’t good for the jews.
