Rush Limbaugh admonished House Majority Leader Eric Cantor on Monday for acknowledging on Fox News Sunday that the Occupy Wall Street movement has some legitimate gripes.
Cantor insisted that protesters focus is misdirected on Wall Street instead of on policymakers on Congress.
Limbaugh had none of that, insisting on his show Monday that accepting any part of the Occupy message is inappropriate and hurts the Republican Party.

Eric Cantor would have been better served by going on Chris Wallace's show and saying he's introducing legislation that will make soap and water more affordable for hippies...

He also said Cantor was the Senate Whip today. I know he meant Majority Leader. Cantor must be getting beat on severely cause he's looking in the mirror and he's starting to see a large horn growing out of the center of his head.

In any case, it was an idiotic thing for Cantor to say. By commenting on the distribution of wealth, he gave it credence. Wealth distribution is not the government's job, Mr. Cantor.

I know that Kevin McCarthy is the House Whip. Cantor used to be the Whip prior to becoming the House Majority Leader. I inadvertently typed Senate. I'm as dumb as Obama and I apologize to everyone in the world.

Obama’s harm is deliberate, yours was a simple mistake. Vast difference.

Frankly, republicans should stay waaaaay away from this. Maybe a very neutral reply if asked a direct question, but otherwise the left needs to own this fully. Every last stinking hippy bit of it.
By any repubs legitimizing any part of this they take the heat off of obama’s embrace of this OWS crap. It makes the right partners with obama, in essence, so if crap goes really wrong the left can point to idiots like Cantor and say, “See, it was them too!” “They backed the protesters too, you can’t blame just obama for supporting them!”

You are right on. We do not need a circular firing squad.

Is anybody as sick as I am of hearing Cantor and Boehner everytime they come on TV to oppose some ridiculous Obama initiative, prefacing their remarks by mewling “ we wanna work with the president on this, but...”

The gop elite couldn’t care less about what Rush or the people are saying. They do what they want to do. All any of them wants is to stay in power and keep their perks.
Maybe Rush has finally realized they just give lip service and that’s it.

I’m in Cantor’s district. I have known for years what he is and haven’t voted for him since 2006.
And Freepers, remember how some of you were pushing this guy for President at one time. I cannot remember the year; I am indeed an OldPossum, that’s my excuse.

Bingo.
Cantory & Boehner are Republicans... they are not conservatives. They hate the Tea Party just as much as any Democrat.
Eric Cantor is bought and paid for. It is known he hates the the Tea Party.
To: Rufus2007
It’s a rare occasion when Cantor is not being weak-kneed.
We need to clean house in the leadership in both chambers of Congress.
