Cantor Bows To Rush: "This Is Not A Listening Tour" (VIDEO)

Rep. Eric Cantor led a much-publicized GOP listening tour this past weekend -- or so we all thought.

"What we're trying to do here today is kick off a series of town hall forums so that we can get back to listening to the people," Cantor told CNN on Sunday morning as he kicked off the rebranding effort.

"Listening to people can make a difference," declared Mitt Romney while sitting on stage with Cantor during the first event. "That's what we're talking about here, we're listening to people."

So what happened?:

'But then Rush Limbaugh spoke up. "We do not need a listening tour," the conservative radio king made clear on Monday. "We need a teaching tour. That is what the Republican Party, or, slash, the conservative movement needs to focus on. Listening tour ain't it."'

--snip--

And so it was on Wednesday morning, when Eric Cantor appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe, that he cleared the matter up. "You know, Joe, really, this is not a listening tour."

[sinkingfeeling]

2. So, the GOP can only stand to listen to the people for 48 hours!

[alfredo]

3. Yeah, don't listen, dictate! You will build your party that way.

:sarcasm:

[polichick]

LOL - they were copying Obama until the Boss slapped 'em around!

[Renew Deal]

4. Why do they allow Rush to control them in this way?

It's so bizarre.

[Mist]

5. Good. Denigrating listening to the citizens sends the Rethugs into a greater downward spiral. Yeah,

that's it! TELL those pesky citizens what they need to know! And never give 'em the idea they're got anything worth listening to!

6. Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark...

These guys went right over that cliff once again. It seems like every time they open their mouths it happens these days...

[BattyDem]

[Joanne98]

10. HAHAHAHA!

[Enrique]

11. why do reporters bother talking to republicans?

they should just listen to Rush to find out what's what in the GOP.

[gratuitous]

12. Or if they do talk to Republicans

Ask them if they've cleared their comments with El Rushbo. After about 50 or 60 times, Republicans might start to resent being asked if they've groveled sufficiently before the man who some say is a deaf, draft-dodging, drug-addled pedophile.

13. LMAO

Incompetence rides again.

[tavalon]

14. Yeah, go teach it to 'em!

16. Is Rush a secret Democrat?. .A stealth DUer?

He couldn't be doing a better job for us if he was Skinner himself.
