Cantor’s Cant (Updated) 1

Virginia is no stranger to the politics of bigotry, starting with the Red Letter Year (as it was called in my third grade history book) through the Civil War, Jim Crow, Massive Resistance, and beyond.

Now comes Eric Cantor in that grand tradition to support Michelle Bachmann’s mongering of religious hatred, ignorance, and fear.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) on Friday refused to condemn Rep. Michele Bachmann’s (R-MN) suggestion that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin, had infiltrated the U.S. government on behalf of radical Islamists in the Muslim Brotherhood.

    There’s a need to expose who’s really responsible for this. Michele Bachmann is just the water-bearer. She being the most famous member of the Tea Party caucus people who have signed onto it. Trent Franks and Louie Gohmert, two nobodies are also part of it. Frank Gaffney, a radical rigtht ‘security’ advisor in DC and RadicalIslam.Org, both part of the bomb Iran lobby, have been pursuing this for a couple years, getting louder and more persistent. Gaffney gives lectures throughout the country, usually to little civic groups in red states, where he tells people about infiltration of the US government. Cantor, being without any principles, is now another ‘big’ name from the GOP.
