Matt Finkelstein at Political Correction on Eric Cantor’s anti-Muslim pandering:
Despite his professed outrage, Cantor really doesn’t have an argument. He asks, incredulously, “what type of system” would allow the construction of an Islamic community center anywhere in the vicinity of Ground Zero, but then answers his own question: a system “built on the rights of free expression” and “the rights to practice your faith.” Cantor’s rejoinder — “but come on” — is just sour grapes that the American system doesn’t justify his hatred.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
