The liberal racist attacks on Ted Cruz

Loading

esq-ted-cruz2

The masks are off. democrats are proving just how deeply fulminant racism runs through them. They maintain a charade of cordiality but burn inside with hatred of Hispanics.

Especially highly educated, intelligent Hispanics.

democrats have decided to target Ted Cruz with these racism. The attacks are led by a trio of privileged whites.

David Denby of the New Yorker is a white WASP who grew up in New York and , lives in Manhattan and donated to John Kerry in 2004. He is said to have been influenced by Pauline Kael (irony alert). This vicious, privileged white man had this to say about the Hispanic Cruz:

When Ted Cruz lies, he appears to be praying. His lips narrow, almost disappearing into his face, and his eyebrows shift abruptly, rising like a drawbridge on his forehead into matching acute angles. He attains an appearance of supplication, an earnest desire that men and women need to listen, as God surely listens. Cruz has large ears; a straight nose with a fleshy tip, which shines in camera lights when he talks to reporters; straight black hair slicked back from his forehead like flattened licorice; thin lips; a long jaw with another knob of flesh at the base, also shiny in the lights. If, as Orwell said, everyone has the face he deserves at fifty, Cruz, who is only forty-two, has got a serious head start. For months, I sensed vaguely that he reminded me of someone but I couldn’t place who it was. Revelation has arrived: Ted Cruz resembles the Bill Murray of a quarter-century ago, when he played fishy, mock-sincere fakers. No one looked more untrustworthy than Bill Murray. The difference between the two men is that the actor was a satirist.

Denby likened Cruz to Joseph McCarthy:

Cruz speaks crisply. Still, like McCarthy, he evokes a menace that is destroying the nation: Obamacare, which is killing jobs, obliterating businesses, demoralizing everyone. Obamacare is his Communism, a conspiracy that is the main impediment to economic growth. It is a malaise that is particularly hurting “single moms, Hispanics, African-Americans”—a brazen touch on Cruz’s part, since it is exactly those three groups whose interests Republican policies tend to ignore. It takes a certain ingenuity to suggest that an attempt to insure the powerless is rendering them powerless. One of Cruz’s tricks is to turn his enemies’ words back on them so that they stand accused in their own language. Meanwhile, he remains, at least rhetorically, invulnerable behind a mask of sincerity.

Thing is, McCarthy was right.

Cruz took a lot of heat for joking that Nigerian email scammers were running the Obamacare website. That’s obviously false. The Nigerian scammers would have done a much better job.

Then there’s the racist Sally Kohn.

She tweeted this:

Sally is a privileged white Jewish woman who lives in the affluent Park Slope area of Brooklyn.

Kohn suggested that the deaths at Benghazi, including a US Ambassador, were “barely a molehill.” She also blamed Ted Cruz for the long security lines at airports.

Kohn, as do all hateful liberals, misrepresents and tortures the positions of those who disagree with her. Cruz does not have a truck with anyone who immigrates legally, which mirrors conservative beliefs.

Then we come to Harry Reid, the uber-privileged pasty, wimpy, wealthy white racist Mormon from Nevada. Until 1978 blacks were second class citizens in the Mormon Church and black men were forbidden from participating in the priesthood.

Reid once said that Barack Obama was electable because he was a “‘light-skinned’ African American ‘with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQnlcUN3qcQ[/youtube]

Reid recently piled it on the Hispanic Cruz:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid blasted Sen. Ted Cruz Wednesday night during an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.

Reid, a Nevada Democrat, admitted that Cruz raised a lot of money and earned a lot of support from Republican conservatives during the government shutdown battle, but suggested that the freshman senator from Texas would cripple the Republican Party.

“If I didn’t care so much about the country, I would hope he got the Republican nomination for president, because that would mean the end of the Republican Party,” Reid said. “He stands for everything America doesn’t.”

So what is it that makes Cruz so un-American? Let’s have a look at some examples:

Cruz Urges Supreme Court to Uphold U.S. Sovereignty

Cruz: I Hope the Fifth Circuit Will Uphold Texas’ Reasonable Law Protecting the Health of Texas Women and Unborn Children

Cruz: It’s Clear Obamacare Isn’t Working and it’s Becoming Harder for Democrats to Defend It

President Obama should listen to people who have lost their plans

President Obama Blocks WW II Vets from Their Memorial to Force Obamacare on American People

Reid Tables Bill to Fund Government, Refuses to Come to Table with Republicans

Debt Ceiling Increase Avoids Needed Reform

Nasty stuff.

Ted Cruz, unlike these liberal racists, does not make personal attacks. Let’s listen to someone who really knows Cruz and says Cruz is nothing like his caricature:

Everyone wants to know: Who does this guy think he is?

Unlike most of his critics, I’ve known Cruz for more than 10 years. And, the real thing doesn’t resemble the caricature.

Here are the charges leveled against him: Cruz doesn’t ask “Mother, may I?” before he speaks. Cruz doesn’t respect his elders in the Senate. (This includes John McCain, who ironically, in 2000, built an entire presidential campaign on his reputation for being a “maverick” in the Senate.) Cruz insults his colleagues for being “squishes” on tough issues. (Like Chuck Hagel who, in January 2007, scolded his Senate colleagues for waffling on the surge in Iraq, telling them: “If you want a safe job, go sell shoes.”) Cruz has an enormous ego. (No, not in the Senate!) And, lastly, Cruz is in an awful hurry to make his mark. (Like Barack Obama, who formed an exploratory committee for a presidential run in January 2007, just two years after being sworn in to his first Senate term).

Not all the reviews are negative. Consider what one well-known Beltway exile had to say about Cruz.

“I think he is the most talented and fearless Republican politician I’ve seen in the last 30 years,” Democratic strategist James Carville said during a panel discussion on ABC’s “This Week.” The Ragin’ Cajun is right. Ted Cruz doesn’t back up. He keeps coming. He is not shy, deferential or susceptible to peer pressure. And that terrifies the D.C. establishment — in both parties. Just as it frustrates the media. Neither one knows what to do with him.

Those of us who know Cruz can offer some advice: Stay out of his way.

And the people who know him love him.

There is no racist like a white liberal racist.

I so love it when teabaggers try to brand the left as ‘racist.’ Especially on the same day as this;

Ted Cruz’s father wants to send Obama ‘back to Kenya’ and install son as ‘political savior’
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/10/31/ted-cruzs-father-and-his-allies-see-tea-party-senator-as-political-savior-whos-anointed-by-god/

Grow up.

Maybe we should get in the spirit of things and call for Ted Cruz to be sent back to Canada. We still haven’t seen his mother’s birth certificate.

I’m still trying to figure out what Denby wrote that is racist.

But Ted Cruz’s father isn’t a racist?

Oh, why bother.

Dr John takes umbrage to Ted Cruz being compared to Joseph McCarthy, labels it “racist’ (?), then after working up a proper froth tells us, well, actually “McCarthy was right”. So he’s angry Ted Cruz has been compared to someone he likes. And he’s pretty sure comparing the political tactics of a Mexican American to an Irish American is ‘racist’.

Try following the logic in that argument.

@DrJohn:

Are you kidding? Comparing a Hispanic to an Irishman? Good God.

Good God, indeed!! LOL. So you’re point is that criticizing the political tactics of a person who happens to be Hispanic is inherently racist if an Irishman is brought into it? Don’t you have a term for this? Race card anyone?

@DrJohn:

All criticism of Cruz is racist. That’s obvious.

Raaaaace Caaaaaaaaard!

See, I could be in the Tea Party.

@DrJohn:

Thanks, Dr John. I love you too. You are better than the Onion.

@This one: Hey poor poopy baby, your a racist and the liberal wachos are racist!! I hope it makes you cry like the wimpy baby you are!! BTW it’s Tea Party Patriots you douche bagger!!

@Greg: Oh please please go there Greg!! Only shows your true idiocy!! Any proof on the things I challenged you on or do you concede your ignorance and credibility as equal!!

@Greg: Go for it!! I know it’s your true color!!

You do realize that Ted Cruz is going to burn down the GOP. With GOP popularity declining because of their extremism, he’s going to cause the party to become even more extreme. The results are predictable.

I have listened to Sen. Cruz many times and never heard such awful and racist things as these three liberals spewed about him.

And, thanks for linking a Wiki about Sally Kohn.
I used to wonder about her manly choice of clothing and hairstyle on Fox News.
Now I understand.
Sally is ”partnered” with Sarah.

Over the years I have found those that lash out at others are either jealous or afraid. It is obvious the liberal/demoncrats are afraid of both Cruz and the tea party.

@enchanted:

They do this because they fear him.

Most of us have seen this one as well.. But for those who haven’t I offer it without comment…

OH MY,
GLAD TO HAVE MY CHANCE TO EXPRESS,
I took some notes while reading your POST,
DAVID DENBY WEAR A SCARF TO HIDE HIS CUT THROAT,
he has a face made like an empty bowl, ears too small COMPARE TO THE BOWL
his eyebrows are like the first primates this creation gave human,
his smile is for one to erase it manualy.
REID IS THE MENTALY SICKO DIRTY MOUTH ON THE CRUZ SPEECH WHICH SPEECH WAS RIGHT ON THE DOT OF OBAMACARE DISASTER, OBAMA SHOULD KICK HIS BUT TO HAVE REFUSE THE DEMANDS OF TED CRUZ WHO WAS RIGHTLY EXPRESSING THE PEOPLE,
KOHN TALKING HEAD MAKE PEOPLE CHANGE CHANNEL AT FOX NEWS,
they fear TED CRUZ so much, they all should go hide,
because he is just starting on exposing their FAILURES AND THE LIST IS GETTING LONG,

Need to fix a slight omission…

“Until 1978 blacks were second class citizens in the Mormon Church and black men were forbidden from participating in the priesthood. ” It was blacks of African descent that were forbidden. Others were not forbidden.

IMHO, Reid is not practicing his faith, and is a horrible example of it. He’s all gung-ho to give money to people w/o requiring anything from them. His church teaches what I call “workfare” — recipients of money are required to work for it (in some cases it might be something menial to do, but it’s always something). His church teaches self-reliance. Welfare teaches dependence. I really believe Welfare also teaches racism. Reid supports racism.

@Greg:

With GOP popularity declining because of their extremism,

That isn’t true just because you wrote it, but you are taking the common play from the current propaganda media’s playbook. Want something to be true? Just say it over, and over, and over, and over . . . and enough of the populace will assume it’s true.

Misinformation: thanks for making the country worse off by projecting your own prejudice.

Nathan Blue
how many gregs are circulating those lies around the uninformed citizens
so to get their votes so to keep their unionize jobs,
TOO MANY,

@Greg: Predictable as the Tea Party Patriot triumph of 2010!! Thanks Greg for your insights!! It’s like listening to 0bama and assume the opposite, your odds will be higher!! Does your memory go back as far as 2010??

@Common Sense: I’ll be interested in watching the actions of birthers towards Cruz and Rubio candidacies. Agree the T.P. made a strong showing in 2010. I feel they barely held their own in 2012 and may actually lose ground in 2014 mid-term elections.We’ll see..

@Richard Wheeler: Rich, can’t discount any of your assessment. What I would say is that the 2012 election cycle was after Obamacare passage (which in 2010 yielded the historic takeover of the House) by the Tea Party Patriots and Republicans and the 2014 election cycle will reflect America’s satisfaction or disatisfaction with Obamacare as it is implemented!! We’ll see is correct. We saw in 2010 and I believe Democrats will get hammered in 2014 because Obamacare will prove to be the disaster Republicans tried to tell America about on numerous occaisions. The lies Obama told to get elected in re elected regarding Obmacare and keeping your insurance will not prove beneficial to Democrats!! We’ll see. Have a great week end shipmate!!

@This one: I accuse you of being a racist!! How do you like it??

@ilovebeeswarzone: Bingo!! Liberal Wachos just can’t stand to hear the truth and therefore when it’s spelled out for them they attack the messanger because they are guilty of the message!! The DO fear Cruz for certain!! Just like the Tea Party Patriots in 2010 it will repeat in 2014 for the same reason, Obamacare is a failure!!

@DrJohn: Racism from the left against Cuban/Canadian/American Ted Cruz? I don’t see it. If racism comes it will most likely come from the Right against not only Cruz but his fellow Cuban American Conservative Marco Rubio. Watch those Southern Christian Evangelical supporters of Rand Paul go after these two.
It won’t be pretty.

@This One… Are you still beating your wife?

The overwhelming lib response to this post is telling.

The point of this discussion isn’t about “racism”. It’s about the institutionalized form of doublethink currently infecting a certain portion of the population (not the majority, but you’d think so due to the media, entertainers, and blog trolls screaming out there in an attempt to buffalo the voices of those who don’t agree. Far from a progressive act, don’t you think?).

Anyone, whether leaning right or left, has the duty and right to question a candidate and their background. Obama’s background was, and continues to be, somewhat of a mystery. The best solution a Obama-loyal mob can come up with is a derogatory term like “birther” which they can throw at people to relegate their concerns as stupidity. Sounds a little like every other marginalizing term every used: N-word, F*g, you name it. The left hasn’t realized it has transformed into every thing it claimed to combat.

Now libs think it’s some kind of poetic justice to demonize Cruz et al by any means necessary, no matter how ridiculous. The ends do not justify the means. Given, it’s everyone’s duty to vet potential candidates. That was not done for Obama, and just because he won does not erase the precedent set: Billions in campaign money and the support of propaganda relieve the American people of their duty in making sure a candidate is legitimate.

Racism from the left against Cuban/Canadian/American Ted Cruz? I don’t see it. If racism comes it will most likely come from the Right against not only Cruz but his fellow Cuban American Conservative Marco Rubio.

Odd view point from someone whose own party deems any negative comment about Obama “racist.”

@Nathan Blue:

Sounds a little like every other marginalizing term every used: N-word, F*g, you name it. The left hasn’t realized it has transformed into every thing it claimed to combat.

What a demented rationalization, not to mention insulting to those who have endured the marginalizing effects (is that all it is?) of the N-work and F*g. The percentage of Birtherism that had to do with honest due diligence can be counted on one toe. Birtherism is and always was about painting Obama as the suspicious “other”. Apparently something about Obama (funny Muslim sounding name, Kenyan father, Hawaii, etc.) didn’t pass the all-American smell test. I wonder how we can get those who are – consciously or unconsciously – susceptible to such feelings of hostile suspicion to really internalize them? I know! We can talk about openly them by using the words “birth certificate” as code. And when the birth certificate comes out, we’ll call it a forgery, or refocus our energies on proving that Obama is a secret Muslim, like one-third of conservative Republicans would tell you as recently as 2012. It’s just normal due diligence, after all. Nothing personal.

Danng. You guys let a buncha liberals inside the wire. What did you do that for?

@Mully: Lol, well it’s from Breitbart, it HAS to be true! LOL!!

@Richard Wheeler:

Rich

This is a consistent pattern. Black conservatives are “Uncle Toms”, “house ni**ers” and “sellouts” according to the left. The Hispanic Cruz is “un-American” according to Reid.

Honestly, I’ve had enough from these racist a-holes.

it won’t be fair to publicly vet the CONSERVATIVES AND REPUBLICAN AGAINST ONE CANDIDAT OF THE OTHER SIDE LIKE IT HAPPENED FOR OBAMA, NOT EVEN PRODUCE A BIRTH CERTIFICAT,
WHILE THE MANY ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE WHERE PUBLICLY AND VICIOUSLY VETTED
BY OTHER CANDIDATS AND THE MEDIAS SOLD TO OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATES,
THIS SHOULD NOT BE REPEATED AGAIN,
THOSE CANDIDATES ON THIS SIDE HAD TOLD THEMSELF THEIR OWN AGENDA,
EVEN RICK PERRY WAS DEMONIZE FOR HAVING A MEMORY LAPSUS WHICH
EVERY ONE WAS IGNORANT OF HIM RECUPERATING,WITH
HIS BACK CRUCIFYING PAIN DUE TO AN OPERATION JUST BEFORE HE DECIDE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT, THE LEFT TURNED IT IN A FRENZIE ATTACK ON HIS SANITY,
LOOK HOW HE IS ACCOMPLISHING SINCE THEN, HE PROVE TO HAVE BEEN A BEST PRESIDENT
FINDING JOBS FOR THE PEOPLE AND NOT THIS POOR HALF TIME JOBS OF OBAMA,
SO MUCH TIME WASTED NOW WE SEE IT, AND THE PEOPLE CANNOT FIND REAL JOBS,
BUT RICK PERRY DOES FOR THE TEXANS

This one
YES BREITBART BLOG IS TRUE,
BREITBART IS GONE HE WAS TRUE TO HIS WORD,
there is a high suspicion on who HAD HIM killed TO SILENCE HIM,
IT WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT that who did it,

@Richard Wheeler: Any proof to support your accusation or just a liberal response??

@Common Sense: I haven’t forgotten what the Evangelicals did to Mac in the 2000 Repub. primaries. Strong and ruthless they ended his run with assertions of traitorous activities in The Hanoi Hilton and accusations of fathering a black child. The child was adopted.
I think they will push for Rand using whatever tools they have at their disposal.

@Richard Wheeler: I haven’t forgotten the disgusting way the wacho liberals went after President Bush either. An unbiased view would have to declare a draw at best!!

@Richard Wheeler: BTW, to categorize evangelicals in this way is also a bit over the top. 85% of Americans associate themselves as being Christian!! How would you define an “evangelical”??

Common Sense
you see the divide again in his words,
they use one against the other , ONLY THEM DO IT,
BYE

@Common Sense: Certainly all Christians are not Evangelical. As a Methodist we believe there is good in all religions We say its the journey not the destination–dialogue over dogma.
Live a life like Christ would. We certainly do not take the Bible literally and we don’t believe that only a few chosen will be saved.
Evangelicals seem very dogmatic, with an our way or the highway mentality. It may work for them but not for myself and many other Christians.

You might expect Dems to go after your candidate. But Repubs have certainly forgotten RR’s Golden Rule.

@Tom: Well Tom, you appear to be a bit confused. I might be what you insultingly refer to as a “birther”, so I will explain my rationale and tell you that many people look at this the same way as I do, a lot more than even you can “count on your toe”. Before Obama began his run at a state government office, he played up the story that he was born in Kenya and brought up poor, and that he had done pretty well in spite of it. He said it in speeches, he wrote it in a book he never quite got published. He stuck to that story until he could see a run at the presidency coming, then suddenly, he was born in Hawaii. He also knew that he wouldn’t be vetted by the democratic party and was fully prepared to deploy the race card if he needed to. So I ask YOU Tom, which story was the lie?

Then there was the secrecy surrounding is past, very troubling, but again he was ready with the race card. He also displayed a propensity for telling lies from the very beginning of his political career, he also was really good at destroying his opposition in pretty underhanded ways, like somehow getting sealed court records revealed.

As for the birth certificate he “released”, that so obviously a photo-shop created forgery that his own attorney refused to offer it as evidence in a voter fraud case. And finally, you flung out the Muslim card. I don’t know what religion he claims, but I do know he treats them a lot better than he does Christians and Jews. I am way far from being a racist, I am a realist with a suspicious mind. And I don’t just listen, I watch the actions, frequently that is far more telling than mere words.

I am personally very suspicious of anyone who uses lies and deception as adeptly as Obama and his minions do.

@Richard Wheeler: Repubs have certainly forgotten RR’s Golden Rule.

Calling it that proves you never knew it at all.
It was the 11th Commandment.
And there were plenty of phony TEA Party ”candidates” who were ringers belonging to the Dem party as well as Dems mascarading as Reps who voted in caucuses.
Dems also pretended to be Republicans on radio and web media, spreading insidious slime against Republicans.
Obama’s campaign included discouraging blue collar white Republicans from bothering to make it to the polls.
The extent he succeeded was shown on election night.
He was pretty clever as were his operatives.
There were low-info adults on both sides.
He got HIS low infos out to vote.

@Scott in Oklahoma:

@Tom: Well Tom, you appear to be a bit confused. I might be what you insultingly refer to as a “birther”, so I will explain my rationale and tell you that many people look at this the same way as I do, a lot more than even you can “count on your toe”.

Scott, you seem personally insulted to be called a Birther by me, although obviously – and inconveniently, for you and your narrative – i never called you one. If you want to embrace the label and then contest my definition of it, well that’s your choice, but seeing as I never referred to you, your umbrage seems a tad overblown. You wouldn’t, by chance, be one of those conservatives with a victimization complex, tuning every fiber of your being to picking up personal offense wherever it might be floating around? Living like that can make one myopic, Scott. Case in point, your buddy Nathan Blue comparing the term “birther” to the N-word. A little short sighted of an observation maybe?

The one percent comment refers to my generous estimation of the number of birthers who are sincerely and consistently and relentlessly suspicious of the origins of any person who wins the presidency. Perhaps I should extend this umbrella of moral neutrality to a second percentage that you might fall into. This is the people who fell for the birther mystery, and continue falling for it, not because they want to, but because they’re just wired that way, to be attracted to a good mystery over boring reality. The ones who spend a large portion of their free time obsessing over something that most people consider manifestly ridiculous. I do feel for these people.

By the way Scott, I assume you understand it’s intellectually problematic to simultaneously believe Obama and his shadowy handlers planned and executed the single greatest conspiracy to grab power in the history of the world, yet they’re so inept that – after literally years and unlimited resources to craft the perfect fake – they can’t forge a birth certificate competently enough that you and Smorgasbord can’t name it a smoking gun based on your examinations on your home computers. How does the professional investigator in you not wince at that contradiction?

@Nan G: 11TH Commandment Thanks Nan
You certainly paint a conspiracy–Discouraging white blue collar voters???What is that?
Repubs beat up their own. Didn’t need much Dem. support.
They dissed Perry for his educational policies.
They beat up their most electable candidate Gingrich in Fla., with a massive influx of money to Romney, he used to negatively bash Newt.
Who were the phony Tea Party candidates? Weak in Nev. and R.I but not phony. Both supported by S.P.

Dems. pretending to be Repubs. on radio. Masquerading as Repubs to vote in caucuses? Where and how did that hurt you??
Whir of helicopters

Scott in Oklahoma,
@Nan G
THEY REFUSE YOUR TRUTH but they push their lies
you are suppose to believe it,

@Tom: Well lemme see… for starters, you didn’t insult me, in fact you cannot insult me as you are not significant enough in my life for me to allow that to happen. I don’t get insulted by the actions of strangers, although I can be offended by them, there is a difference. I don’t obsess over where he was born either, I have no idea where he was born and maybe that’s the point; when it was convenient and advantageous for him to be born in Kenya, he was, then that story had to change for him to run for president. So why don’t you answer my question? Where was he born? And how do you know, because he said so? Which time was a lie?
As for contradictions, I am not a conspiracy theory guy, but Smorg and I weren’t the only ones who noticed; I am not up to speed enough on photoshop but a couple of my friends are, they came to the same conclusion as I did just looking at it. Again, what is the truth?
