Larry Sabato described this tactic as “A despicable, underground campaign that was unquestionably anti-Semitic nearly beat Cantor in the GOP primary for U.S. House to succeed Tom Bliley in June 2000.”

The same Tim Phillips is now involved with “Americans for Prosperity” which is generating pseudo “grass roots” efforts to defeat health care reform. Tim Phillips was on Rachel Maddow on MSNBC the other night: Watch the MSNBC video here on huff post.

Now Mr. Phillips claims Cantor as a friend. He says:“Eric Cantor is a good friend of mine today.”

Do you think Eric Cantor will refute Philips and others that use tactics deployed to stifle the discussion on healthcare?
