From The Huffington Post

In the wake of comments from Rush Limbaugh equating Barack Obama to Hitler, a leading Jewish Democratic organization is calling on the House of Representatives’ lone Jewish Republican to repudiate the talk show host.

On Friday, National Jewish Democratic Council David Harris called on House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) to denounce Limbaugh’s remarks. Pointing out that the Virginia Republican had said more “Limbaughs” were needed in the GOP just last week, Harris called on “Cantor and the Republican Party to condemn Limbaugh and these utterly contemptible tactics.”

“Mr. Cantor, after Rush’s website antics today and comments yesterday, do you really still think you ‘need’ Limbaugh?” his statement read.

The question wasn’t immediately answered, with Cantor currently traveling in Israel. But Harris’ statement got to a larger point: to what extent should the GOP — and, in particular, its Jewish members — be held accountable for the recent bout of Obama-Nazi comparisons?

    the jews have always known how white,racist,republicans feel about them,even though their numbers are high as members of the republican party.So why are they comlaining now and why would any black person care since they shouted just as loudly when it came to racism against blacks.they also call us worthless and good for nothing.but the moment someone says anything about hitler and the nazis they want everyone to drop to their knees and cry for their history,well we have 400 years of slavery of whic they played a major part,so boo hoo

    This will be an interesting position for Cantor….All these Republicans are scared to death of Rush…its political suicide to repudiate him, but if this Jewish group can get enough support from other Jewish groups, and apply enough pressure on Cantor, its going to be real interesting to see how he reacts…Say what you want about the Jews, but they are organized and powerful and get things done for themselves unlike us!

    The Jews do get things done. But they do it by support of a government that is not suppose to pledge to another country. Its Zionism and, Blacks do get things done We work harder than those that get what they want just because of their ties and race. These people aren’t genetically jews, read history _A_. Black peoples identity have been stolen! Hitler was upset about them claiming that they were jews. And yes he was Khazar (fake jew) Read his book Mein Kampf. Part of the reason why he supposedly had them slaughtered if that’s true at all he did that. But look at Black peoples slavery of 400 + years, plus identity stolen from these people, New World Order still remains in support for some dumb Jekyll Island creatures that started the Fed Reserve. They cry about Holocaust as ‘Jews’ but they aren’t ‘Jews’ however what is similar is who has been victims. They cry as victims but they are suspects, they started slavery! Ever wondered why they tried getting close to black people and making it look like we have such close ties?? because they tried being slick and, keeping the truth from us and knowing that black people in organizations spend to much time supporting other ethnic groups. We should worry about ourselves, because who in the heck stands for us without wanting to rob us of something? How often is blackplanet reporting cases of racism ? Every week is the answer and its all against us! We still are the victims in this country compared to any other ethnic group.

    Limbaugh is a jerk and the fact that he is still broadcasted let’s me know that racism still exists because he is the king of saying some very hurtful, ignorant, and racist things.

    I was wondering if the jews were ever gonna say anything about the comparison being made between pres. And vicious murderer hitler by beck and limbaugh.they have sat back through august while nazi signs and pictures being shown by the teaparty nuts depicting pres.obama as hitler and as a nazi.they know there are no comparisons between the two, but stayed quiet.it’s about time they stop beck and limbaugh from belittling what happened to them and their relatives.
