Almost as amazing as their humor.

Is this what the Tea Party calls friendly fire?

All bullies think what they do to people is funny. That’s why the only way to deal with a bully is punch them right in the mouth.

Mr. Cantor has been handed the fecal covered end of the stick and suddenly he finds it offensive.

66

My thought exactly. Was going to post something like, “Well, Cantor would certainly know.”

Are you making enough for everyone?

LOL! Nothing is funnier than Anti-Semitism, huh Ingraham? Am I right? Good times, GOP, good times.
Sorry, Cantor, you lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
As for cheapening the debate, Cantor, well, you ought to know.

Cheapens the debate?? Yeah like the debate between a turd and a pusbag. How funny is that?

Cheap debate? I’m curious as to what the last Republican debates of 2011 would have been called. I think anything other than “Goober Derp-off” would be stretching it.

When the TeaPublican shenanigans devoured Eric Cantor, he finally got serious and called them for what they are! Alas, it is too late.

“Cantor Hits Back At Ingraham: Taliban Comment ‘Cheapens The Debate’”

So, since when have the Grumpy Old Party voted for anything expensive? You’d think cheap debate would be right up their (unpaved gravel) street.

Oh Mr. Cantor,

When Senator Rand Paul said the same thing about exchanging democrats for Bergdahl, you likely chuckled.

But now that you have become a footnote to Congressional history (for being the only Majority Leader to lose a primary), you find the same notion of exchanging an able-bodied American citizen for a POW to be offensive.

So when you say, “I don’t think that it reflects on the people that self-identify as Tea Partyers [sic],” you are absolutely wrong.

There are at least two examples of the contempt that Tea Partiers have for exchanging American citizens for Sgt. Begdahl.

I am sure you and I can agree on one thing - neither Rand Paul nor Laura Ingraham attempts at humor were funny.

Sadly, you only felt the outrage when the attempted humor was directed at you.

Incidentally, your defeat is utterly hilarious. I would have written this comment sooner, but I have only just now stopped rolling on the floor laughing.

In a Conservative way, Yes!

Cantor has to be careful. He’s in a sensitive position and cannot risk offending the right-wing media cohort.

Spread 'em, Eric.

“the IQ of bumblebees”? I think you just insulted bumblebees
