The Washington Post’s one-man Fifth Column, Dana Milbank, is at it again. Apparently, he has been shadowing Ted Cruz’s campaign. Unable to come up with anything substantive, what he’s produced is one of the most juvenile screeds ever to appear in any major newspaper:
"When Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) last month mocked Donald Trump’s “New York values,†it wasn’t entirely clear what he was implying.
This week we got a clue: For Cruz, “New York†is another way of saying “Jewish.â€
At an event in New Hampshire, Cruz, the Republican Iowa caucuses winner, was asked about campaign money he and his wife borrowed from Goldman Sachs. Cruz, asserting that Trump had “upward of $480 million of loans from giant Wall Street banks,†said: “For him to make this attack, to use a New York term, it’s the height of chutzpah.†Cruz, pausing for laughter after the phrase “New York term,†exaggerated the guttural “ch†to more laughter and applause.
But “chutzpah,†of course, is not a “New York†term. It’s a Yiddish — a Jewish — one. And using “New York†as a euphemism for “Jewish†has long been an anti-Semitic dog whistle."
The mind boggles.

Only leftists hear those ‘dog whistles’
Roh Ro.
This subject just brought forth the lightning.
That’s stupid. Cruz is not anti-Semitic.
I’m not voting for him, but this is ridiculous. There’s not an anti-Semitic bone in his body.
The utter nastiness of Ted Cruz (and the utter ZOT-ness of the moron who posted this)

I must not be a conservative. I can never hear all
these dog whistles.
It takes a special kind of stupid to be Dana Milbank. Of course he is a liberal so there is that.
The left is antisemitic, and the Left finds dog whistles wherever they will help the latest narrative. Cruz? Nope.
Ted Cruz is VERY Pro Israel..funny how Liberals have a problem with Ted Cruz being Pro Israel when liberals DESPISE Israel’s existence, these are the same people who BOOED Israel during their convention
Cat whistle
Being pro-Israel doesn't matter. What matters is not offending Leftists who happen to be Jewish.
I had a dog whistle once, never saw it attract a Jew, hell it didn’t even attract my dog.
Ted Cruz is the guy who walked out on a speech when “Christians” booed mention of Israel.
He ended his speech with “If you won’t stand with Israel, I won’t stand with you”.
Cruz has good enemies...
“Ted Cruz is the guy who walked out on a speech when “Christians†booed mention of Israel.”
There you go again making a rational point. How is that going to help when dealing with a Liberal Liar (redundant) from the Washington Post???? :)
This is dumb. They are really stretching what is “racist”.
The same leftists who booed Israel at their convention..when liberals talk about Israel you can see the disdain on their faces
I remember that. The audience was stunned, but I was proud of Senator Cruz for standing with Israel.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Trump is not Jewish.
