Scarborough: Ted Cruz Acting 'Like Carnival Barker'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/18/2013 7:32:47 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

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."

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. :)

And this is coming from the little xxxxk who had to resign from the House because a young woman he was having an affair with was found dead in his office.

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!

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.

So Scarborough....

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.

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.

"Cruz acts like “a carnival barker at a Republican event.”

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.

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.

Yup, Cruz is outrocking the establishment boat even moreso than Rand - and that's a heck of a high bar Rand set.

God Bless them both, and may we have more such men - and women - join them in the Senate in 2014.

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.
