Washington Post cartoon smears Cruz’s little girls as monkeys

Fairness and balance require the WP to portray Obama’s girls in the same way.

Wait, wait.....ooops I forgot that would be “racis”

The cruelty of the MSM liberal fascist left knows few boundaries.

I hope Cruz is keeping a list.

[defendingright]

The WP is such slime. Did you happen to see the nauseating piece they wrote on Obama’s “Christian” faith and how it influenced his desire to unite a divided country? Chunk-spewing...

From the editor.

"Editor's note from Fred Hiatt: It's generally been the policy of our editorial section to leave children out of it. I failed to look at this cartoon before it was published. I understand why Ann thought an exception to the policy was warranted in this case, but I do not agree."

Huh?

Cartoonist {?} Telnaes should be fired!

[JustaCowgirl]

You understand it, Editor? Then you both need to be fired.

Don’t forget how Palin’s children, especially the youngest, were treated in the press and by the presses allies.

Similarly, Obama uses his girls as props quite a bit. WAPO’s cartoonist is a mean-spirited hypocrite.

[RummyChick]

Somebody already posted the exact graphic but with obama on one of the many threads about this. It would cause great problems in the media.

[Old Sarge]

It would seem that if you're already a president, your children are off bounds to the smears of yellow journalism.

Barbra and Jenna Bush could not be reached for comment...

The Washington Post is a piece of garbage, rescued from bankruptcy by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos. Think of that the next time you buy anything from that outfit.

[C. Edmund Wright]

The editor pulled it. The cartoonist still does not understand it.

[JustaCowgirl]

I posted to Telnaes on twitter the cartoon pic someone created with Obama’s face replacing Cruz’s, and with the note ‘See the problem now?’

[grania]

The kids are off limits. Even Chuck Todd on NBC this AM was unambiguous in his condemnation of the cartoon. The excuse some used is that Ted used the kids in a political ad, so they're fair game. They aren't.

Meanwhile, Ted is using the ad as a tool to raise campaign donations. I'm not real crazy about that.

It also came up this AM how Jeb actually defended Trump, sort of. hillary's manipulation and victimhood? Well, Jeb said that's what hillary does....play the victim card! Chuck Todd agreed.

Is Chuck Todd warming up to Trump?

[JustaCowgirl]

I’m proud of Jeb if he said that, for the first time ever.

[demshateGod]

Cruz should make another ad. Annie as an ogre.

[rlmorel]

WTF is that? Is that gang-sign????????

[cdcdawg]

Cruz needs to hit back VERY hard, and not just at the Compost, at the cartoonist. Personally. VERY hard. Words like “idiot” and “low IQ” should be used. Name her.

[tioga]

Look, they are practicing their mama’s sneer. RME

[Old Retired Army Guy]

That cartoon should never been published, but Cruz shouldn’t be using his children as “props” in a campaign commercial.
