As if Ted Cruz didnt already have enough against him media-wise (i.e. hes a principled, brilliant and credentialed conservative both fiscally-- and even more odiously--socially)on top of these offenses, hes also half Cuban.
Forget the liberal love chants to ethnic diversity. The Cuban ethnic brand has long flapped like a matadors cape in front of the Democrat-Media complex. Granted, some of those insufferable Cubans love to flap it.
Ted Cruz-Derangement-Syndrome went viral in the media this week. From Chris Matthews to David Muir and from Joe Scarborough to David Brooks-- they were all over Cruz like a cheap suit. The New Yorkers John Cassidy called Cruz uppity—then weaseled out because the term has disturbing historical connotations.
A berserk Donny Deutsch over at MSNBC denounced Cruz as not only unelectable, but scary, I think hes dangerous, I think hes slimy and I think he brings no fresh ideas.
Its an old story, actually. A few years ago during an interview with Joy Behar, MSNBCs Donny Deutsch sneered at Cuban-American Marco Rubio as that coconut down in Florida.
In settings like MSNBC (but usually backstage) the term coconut (brown on the outside white on the inside) is generally used to castigate Hispanics who ignore marching orders barked by Democratic/Media drill sergeantssame as Oreo for similarly uppity blacks.
Never mind that the Cuban-American Marco Rubio (like Ted Cruz) is probably more purely Caucasian than Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, Oral Roberts, Johnny Depp among many other southerners who boast Choctaw/Cherokee heritage. Never mind this because the issue here is the liberal medias hypocrisy—not their stupidity.
Heres Norman Birnbaum, a current columnist for The Nation, The Daily Beast among other liberal publications, going off on Cuban Americans a few years ago: Despite the truly repellent Miami Cubans of the older generation and their gallant allies, the Israel lobby, Castro hangs on.
Birnbaum is also a Georgetown Professor Emeritus and former advisor to three Democratic Presidential candidates. Now imagine a Republican political adviser and—say--Hillsdale college professor/author spouting, on the record on for public consumption, any of the following phrases: "those truly repellent New York Jews" or "those truly repellent Ferguson Negroes" or "those truly repellent Los Angeles Mexicans," or those truly repellent Detroit Arabs.
Would he even bother seeking future media employment?
Years ago Joe Sobran as usual—nailed it by writing that refugees from communism embarrass liberals. Bulls-eye!
These refugees are living, breathing, walking, talking refutations of the horrors of extra-strength leftism. This makes leftists of all stripes very uncomfortable. These living, breathing testimonials against their product must be silenced, booted home (Elian Gonzalez) scorned (MSNBC) or-- at the very least—ignored (try finding my books mentioned by the non-Fox Media.)
Whoops! Excuse me, I exaggerate. In fact, these books have been mentioned --shamelessly plugged in fact, but in places such as Warsaw by the Polska Times ( a division of the London Times,) Madrid by former Spanish First Lady Ana Botella, in Sao Paolo by Brazils hugely popular Veja. Nothing by the Beltway biggies in my home country however.
Deep down liberals feel that Cuban-Americans had it coming. Only a tiny and filthy-rich clique of mobsters, pimps, crooks, robber barons, slave-drivers, plantation-owners, and sweat-shop ownersall direct descendants of the Spanish conquistadores—prospered in pre-Castro Cuba. They prospered by slave driving, sweatshopping and pimping the islands indigenous people. Thus goes thefable.
Consequently, people like Ted Cruz and Humberto Fontovas fathers had it comin—and revenge is sweet!
They’re already going after his looks and appearance. Must not have been able to find any dirt.
What Does Ted Cruz Look Like? The presidential hopeful’s face is a work of remarkable economy for a caricaturist

Anyone who takes that rollingstone magazine serious has a few screws loose and is also missing some marbles, if you ask me
Racist liberals hate Latinos unless they’re mowing their lawns or tending their flower beds.
How dangerous or scary can an "unelectable" politician be?
