The trashing of Ted Cruz continues apace in the bien-pensant MSM. From the New York Times, to the Washington Post, to Politico and elsewhere, the liberal media has the new Republican Senator from Texas in its sights.
Joe Scarborough is clearly camped out on the Cruz-bashing bandwagon. Earlier this month, so offended was the sensitive Scarborough by Cruz that he wouldn't deign to mention him by name. Today, not to be outdone by Frank Bruni, who called Cruz "an ornery, swaggering piece of work," Scarborough declared that Cruz acts like "a carnival barker at a Republican event."

Cruz must be doing something right to have the MSM’s panties in such a twist. Ping to Today show list.

Scarborough is an over-weight, under-talented sell-out to the Left. He’s not fit to polish Sen. Cruz’s boots.
Scarborough is a thumb-sucking, bed-wetter whose “opinion” is worth squat.
Senator Cruz is doing exactly what he said he would do and I am very proud to have him in the United States Senate. I pray that we can find a few more just like him in 2014.
You bet he’s doing something right, he’s doing what we sent him there to do, hope he’s able to stay on track because the MSM/’rats/RINOS are going to be trying to make him into Joe McCarthy.
ROTFL.
Chris Matthews said he reminds him of Senator Joe McCarthy!
OMG how dare Cruz do his job his constituents sent him to Washington to do.....
It’s amazing how fast and furiously the MSM and the GOP establishment has moved into “Cruz Control” mode.
I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed an attack more concerted, or perhaps I’m just becoming more aware of the tactics.
How many dead people have been found in Ted Cruz’s office?
To paraphrase that great SNL music producer, Bruce Dickinson- "What D.C. needs is MORE TED CRUZ!!"
“an ornery, swaggering piece of work,” Scarborough declared that Cruz acts like “a carnival barker at a Republican event.”
Hey. Somebody’s got to do it.
We haven't got in the situation we are in overnight. It took lawmakers who are vastly senior to him to do it. That is the problem with the Republican Party. Maintain the status quo. I'm a geezer and seniority means squat to me if you're not getting us out of this mess.
Respect is earned not granted because you have been somewhere for a certain period
So the fifth-column New York Slimes is having a hissy fit over the actions of Senator Ted Cruz (TX).
What a solid confirmation of the patriotic courage of Sen. Cruz!
Go Ted!!
'Swaggering', the motion of a confident person who has not been beaten down to a sniveling, sad-sack of a puppet.
With a little time and work, they will make him conform to the national socialist dictatorship or he will be gone.
This is the real state of the union. You are welcome.
I coulda been a senator.
Well Joe ought to know; he's a circus clown.
I didn’t know that racism existed on the left!
The driveby media just thinks he is another uppity Hispanic who won’t go to the plantation-good! He’s doing exactly what we elected him to do, unlike so many others...
You take the most flak when you are directly over the target. :)
The young woman apparently tripped and cracked her head open on a desk... Happens all the time, doesn't it? Nevertheless he felt it necessary to resign.
BTW McCarthy was PROVEN CORRECT!
What do you expect from Government Drones?
That’s what the media are, Government Drones.
Some times it’s the bomb throwers who perform the most important service by not allowing things to go unsaid.
If Sen.Cruz --- duly elected, sworn and seated in the upper chamber is a carnie barker...
What does that make YOU!!
....working the coffee hour for a fringe-media freak-show...
Take a look in the mirror...
Once upon a time....
You had a seat-- and a vote, Joe...
....what happened to THAT??
Time to shut your pie-hole until you discover something intelligent and relevant to say...
Just in case... someday.... maybe...
Carnival Barkers call attention to the sideshow freaks, so Scarborough is actually correct. There should be sawdust on the floor of the Senate Chamber.
...Deserve a measure of respect? We’re 16 trillion in the hole and counting, we have an illegal occupant in the White House who is doing an end around Congress and it’s oversight, and illegally traded weapons to foreign drug cartels and islamic militants. I say these senior Senators deserve to be reomoved from their positions and all Congressional benefits be revoked.
Yeah, well, Scarborough- IF beign a carnival barker is what it’s goign to take to get you freaking RHINOS motivated to actually stand up for yourselves and take a stand agaisnt hte left liek you shoudl be doing, then I sday Good for him- At least he’s beign effective- more effective than you ever thought of being- and he doesn’t even have a daily show where he can blather on and on liek a good little leftist drone liek you
[[I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed an attack more concerted, or perhaps I’m just becoming more aware of the tactics.]]
No, you’re not more aware of it- it’s very obvious they asre desperately tryign to ruin him just like they did to sarah palin- They are scared to death that he will become popular=-
The day people like Scarborough start praising him is the day its time to bring him home.
We’re trying to get rid of the “senior senators”. We don’t want him to defer to them. If he was going to defer to them, there was no point in electing him.
Better the "carnival barker" than the person following the carnival parade shoveling up the waste deposited by the donkey and the elephant and recycling it via the media.
Scarborough acts like dick everyday.
MSNBC has ridden on the back of “Republican” Joe Scarborough out of necessity. Now, they have to run the banner along the bottom of the show, Former GOP member of the House of
Representatives because any viewer can see that he is no different than Mika. They may wear the same dresses as far as we know.
[[I didn’t know that racism existed on the left!]]
The left are the only REAL racists left- (sure there are stil lsoem maggots on the right too- but the left is infested with racist maggots)- only you woudl NEVER know the left is full of racists, because whiel they are beign racist, they scream ‘racism racism’ accusign hte right of beign racist, and that’s ALL the MSM concentrates on- proving ‘racism’ on the right while ignorign the BLATANT RACISM on the left- and the left also gets away with it because there aren’t enoyugh peopel like Ted Cruz who have the guts to actually PROVE the left are maggots- msot peopel o nthe right simply roll over and clamp their hands over hteir ears everytime the left begins barking because they are afraid of the left- pansies all they are- Ted is the first person I’ve seen with any kidn of guts o nthe right- (Well, him and walker who stood up agaisnt hte unions)- The rest- or nearly all the rest, are all fat overpaid lazy maggot sellouts liek chris kkkristie
They have rand Paul in thier sites too. Both are good conservatives so it is no surprise the (Marxist) media is gunning for them.
so lets get this straight- PMSNBC, the home of the al sharpton show, accuses others of being “carnival barkers”??? oh the irony...
God Bless them both, and may we have more such men - and women - join them in the Senate in 2014.
Ya got that right!
Better somebody who can see what his doofus GOP brethren act like and refuses to do so.
Scarborough should look in the mirror when he says Cruz is a carnival barker — Scarborough is a total flim-flam man. Everything out of his mouth is a scam, a lie, and a fraud — just like him.
FU, Joe, you POS.
As long as Ted Cruz stays loyal to the people of Texas that elected him, he will be Senator for as long as he wants to be our Senator from Texas.
The media does not like Senator Cruz. The media is horrified of the concept of a President Cruz. This is what this is all about.
“New York Times, to the Washington Post, to Politico and elsewhere, the liberal media”
Yep, catching flak from all the right places, so you know Cruz is over the target.
Stay strong, Ted.
The GOP needs many more fearless attack dogs like Sens. Cruz and Paul.
The more there are, the harder it will be to target and bring down one at a time.
It would be great to have a couple dozen or more tag teaming each other.
Joe went to the ‘dark side’ a long time ago, in order to be accepted by his media friends.
I just took a quit looksee at your Senator. Not that any sane person would want to be President after the Obama devastation, but if Cruz has a sense of humor..he could win it all.
That and he needs the support of libertarian leaning Rand Paul or Sarah Palin to shake the severely damaged "R" label.
"R" just means Dem puppet/sell-out to me now.
Exactly the type of leadership I support. Don’t let these ‘Progressives’ make cowards of us. Go, Ted, Go!
