@trscoop That has got to be the single strangest piece I've read today. I like the WSJ, except when it becomes the WTF.

Oy vey.
As Twitchy reported, lefties lamely tried to paint GOP Rep. Eric Cantor’s primary loss last night as evidence that the Tea Party is anti-Semitic. And for many conservatives, this Wall Street Journal piece by Reid Epstein isn’t much better:
Wow. RT @BenK84: Seriously, Read the first two sentences in this @wsj piece. It's disgusting. http://t.co/fL0BGj0HsY

Yikes. The WSJ is *pissed.* http://t.co/BF5QHS3SSM
Those first two sentences…just nasty.

Many can’t help but think Epstein is trying to stir up controversy where there really isn’t any.
"It could happen again." This is supposed to be a controversial statement? http://t.co/7bkU0Yp0gY

Only fools that don't understand history think that this Brat quote is remotely controversial: http://t.co/T0sL3DDzTY

Another "Hitler" could rise again easily, which is why we've been vigilant against it for the past 70 years. Saying so isn't controversial.

@jimgeraghty There's a lot of reasons Eric Cantor might have lost, but anti-Semitism isn't one of them.

@JohnEkdahl @freddoso Guys, I'm very Jewish, & I'm pretty sure my holocaust survivor grandmother would say pretty much the same thing.
