News Busters ^ | February 4, 2016 | Geoffrey Dickens

For the liberal media, there might not be a greater hate object than Texas Senator Ted Cruz. The consistent conservative’s win in Iowa and rise in the polls will probably mean even more heightened attacks from journalists. Which would be remarkable, given liberals in the chattering class have already compared him to Nazis, the KKK and even pointed a figurative gun to his head. The following is a collection of the Worst Media Attacks on Ted Cruz (so far): ...

The attacks of Trump and his his Cruz-hating supporters aren't much better, always assuming the worst, most malevolent intentions. Talk about the politics of personal destruction!

They both should go after Rubio. Divide and conquer is killing us. We fall for it every election.

After what he did to Carson in Iowa there will probably be commercials about how Cruz hates and defrauds black people.

Does anyone know anything about a supposed Rubio supporter named Conrad Close,who according to the timeline on this so called Cruz dirty trick,tweeted at 6:29,one half hour before Cruz tweeted anything,that the Rubio campaign was PUSHING hard that Carson was pulling out of the race.
Have not heard that mentioned anywhere

The story originated with Carson own staff, and was then reported on CNN. I saw the report, and it looked to me like they were saying carson is throwing in the towel.

If Cruz was KKK, Nazi, or a fascist, the left would be in love with him. They compare these things with him as projection. It is what they know about their own deep, dark, sick desires.

I am grateful for Trump defanging the media. I question his conservatism. He may or may not govern conservatively. But he does offend all the right people. He just needs to quit offending all the wrong people.

Both Drudge and Breitbart are sitting on Cruz ‘bombshells’ so there will be plenty of material for Trump fans soon.

Cruz is crushing himself with unprincipled, dirty, and status quo politics. He’s employed gutter politics right out of the chute.

Trump is the one being ripped to pieces by the media. However I am looking forward to Cruzs’ turn in the box if it comes.

Trump has not defamed the media at all. He is teaching the new ways of attacking conservatives made acceptable by Donald Trump.

As soon as a normal person becomes a threat to the left’s entrenched power, they set out to destroy him. Just as they tried to destroy Bush, they will go after Cruz, Rubio and Trump.

Cruz has no problem handling the media. But I don’t think he ever imagined that he would be fending off so many hate-filled personal attacks from such a large chunk of conservatives who have surrendered their collective brains to Donald Trump.

You come across like a leftist, yourself.

Like Mark Levin says, don’t come at Ted Cruz sounding like a leftist. He told Trump that, repeatedly, on the air.

You must think we’re stupid and gullible, to believe that we’re going to see your “warning” about how the left will go after Cruz for his religious activities as merely trying to warn or to be predictive.

Your warning is about as obvious as Trump’s going after Cruz from the left.

If you respected his religious activities you would not be posting as you are.

Call Mark Levin, get put through on the air, and run this type of thing you post here, past the Great One.

Now there would be a caller put down like no other before it.

Mark respects these Judeo-Christian values and activities. His own beliefs don’t mesh with everyone he admires and teams up with. But he easily gets past that in order to uphold America as FOUNDED.

I don’t like Democrats whipping up fervor in black churches and I don’t like Republicans doing the same. He is going to need the unchurched to win and I am seeing things like its wicked to vote against Cruz on this very site. And this from a Southern Baptist who is there every Sunday.

I have now suspected that there is a connection between CNN & Rubio, unbeknownst to Carson or perhaps not. Wait and see who Carson supports when he does quit and the answer will be revealed.
