Believe it or not, some TV and radio pundits based in New York are trashing Cruz's "New York values" line of argument as anti-Semitic. These include Geraldo Rivera (no surprise there) and former Reaganite economist Larry Kudlow.

Easily to believe where Jerry Rivers is concerned, he's pathetic. But Kudlow? Fail.

What the hell?

Cruz blasts "New York values", New York happens to have a handful of Jewish people (NYC is 8% Jewish according the latest estimate, the other 92% of the NYC population is non-Jewish, and votes just as liberal)... therefore Cruz's comments are "anti-Semitic". Huh?

Give me a break. This is as pathetic as when the left tried to claim the GOP "doesn't allow any non-Christians" because Eric Cantor lost his primary and happens to be Jewish.

Kudlow lost all credibility with me when he kept championing/defending Bush's RINO Treasury Secretary appointments, and spent most of 2007-2008 firmly denying that the economy was tanking.

Ironically, Kudlow himself was a liberal Jew in the 1970s, then became a Republican in the 80s and converted to Catholic in the 2000s. The guy must be "anti-Semitic". ;-)

Let's see... Kudlow, Krauthammer, and Giuliani all rushing to Trump's defense and bashing Cruz over the "NY values" quip. Funny, didn't FReepers used to hate those guys?

Meanwhile... Levin, Rush, and McClintock all firmly supporting Cruz. Didn't FReepers used to love those guys?

Politics makes some strange bedfellows.
