Is a Republican leader actually standing up to Rush Limbaugh or is another apology inevitable? Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), the only Jewish Republican member of Congress, went after the conservative radio giant in an interview with Bloomberg News for comparing President Obama to Adolf Hitler, who Limbaugh said in a recent broadcast "also ruled by dictate." Said Cantor: "Do I condone the mention of Hitler in any discussion about politics? No, I don't, because obviously that is something that conjures up images that frankly are not, I think, very helpful." A spokesman for Cantor also decried a poster at an anti-health care rally attended by Republican leaders in Washington earlier this week, which graphically compared Holocaust victims to Americans under Democrats' health-care plan. Previous Republican leaders who have criticized Limbaugh for going too far, most notably RNC chair Michael Steele, have apologized to the radio host within days.

LOL
I LOVE IT!
and BTW always been wrong on foreign policy! every single thing they've done has been a blunder....except maybe Nixon opening up China.....
You want war ???
All we have to sell now is our weapons and that is on its way out.
The difference is that today US comapnies are selling out the country for short term gain......unless of course you subscribe to Bush's New World Order.....but, even then of what use is American money if the country is no longer viable? after all money is just paper....nothing more.
America wasted its economic might on corporate hacks and now the public will pay the price.
If 8 years of George Bush and republican misgoverning has done nothing to get people off thier asses. If the financial collapse last year has done nothing. If President Obama being elected can do nothing! we are doomed! and it will be our own fault!
