Activists heckle Eric Cantor at a Virginia event
Politico ^ | 5/18/11 | JONATHAN ALLEN & JAKE SHERMAN

RICHMOND, Va. — Liberal activists confronted House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) at a jobs forum Wednesday at Virginia Commonwealth University, accusing him of focusing on social issues rather than the economy in Congress.

The verbal attack also went past policy differences into a personal denigration of Cantor.

“If jobs are the most important thing, why have you spent the last five months attacking women’s health,” and National Public Radio, Sandee Delano, a MoveOn organizer shouted at Cantor as the forum concluded. After approaching Cantor, she asked “When are you going to grow up?” and called him “the most smug human being I’ve ever seen in my whole life.”

I understand that they’ve been busy rounding up the astroturfers for these events, and given them instructions on what to say. Probably using taxpayer funding to do it, too, if I know Obama.

Too freaking bad. Until conservatives at these events are willing to be just as loud and nasty as the Demothugs, why should anything change? It’s that stark.

Apparently this is going to be Standard Operating Procedure for the "Obamaites."

They seem to misunderstand the tea party completely. We were not paid and we did nt have a taking points list to memorize. These people are as phoney as Obama is!

Rush warned us yesterday that this was coming.
This is all being coordinated with the help of State-run, Lame Stream media.

Wouldn’t you just like to rent a football team for an event like this?

Ms Delano hates Eric Cantor

Eric Cantor is Jewish

obviously, this means that Ms Delano hates Jews.

(hey...this is the way that the media has told us how to think)

He IS a bit smug.

But THE most smug human being ever?

I don’t think so. Heck, he’s not even the most smug person in Washington, DC. Names like Clinton, Kerry, Schumer, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Dodd, Biden, etc. come to mind WAY before Mr. Cantor’s when I think of ‘smug’.

;-)

Cantor is attacked by liberal scum, the enemy of all of us, and you think it’s pertinent to point out he’s a Romney ally? Just sayin.......

They just can’t really help spewing hate. It is hotwired into their brain.

Sandee doesn't get out of the house very often, eh?

Just saying that Cantor is liberal scum himself which is fighting a war against tea party conservatives, and that he is a Mitt Romney ally.

Just saying.

With all due respect, being a squishy moderate and a disappointing Republican or a RINO are all bad — but they are not liberal scum. Cantor did a very good job versus Obama on Obama Care. No liberal scum has ever or will ever do that. If we continue, and many on the forums here and elsewhere do this - call everyone a liberal scum then the term means nothing when it is used properly.

A lot of union thugs and other leftist scum have a lot of time on their hands, and nothing in their brains but party crap.
