"When a politician uses his children as political props, as Ted Cruz recently did in his Christmas parody video in which his eldest daughter read (with her father's dramatic flourish) a passage of an edited Christmas classic, then I figure they are fair game," Telnaes wrote when the cartoon was published."
Libs - including Obama - use children as props all the time, and sometimes they even have the children mouthing obscenities and making obscene gestures.

"We all know that the media is blatantly biased. That is a given. But this is truly breathtaking hypocrisy. Imagine the media reaction if anyone had published this cartoon:"
Exactly. For years, libs routinely referred to Dubya as "the chimp" and "the monkey man," whereas any such characterization of Obama was verboten. I once got in a huge argument with my liberal sister on that issue, her argument being that "given the historical racist association between blacks and apes blah blah blah.

But I laughed all through the ComPost cartoon-laughed and laughed-all the way through completing my monthly Cruz donation form.

I’ve heard the analysts talking today about this pic of Cruz’s kids and calling them “hispanic” children and how awful it was to show them as monkeys. I thought it was a stupid cartoon, but it had nothing to do with his daughters being hispanic because they’re not. And if that was the cartoonist intent he’s an idiot. Their mother is 100% anglo American and their father is half anglo and half Cuban. That makes the two little girls 1/4th Cuban (or hispanic) if that’s what you want to call it. Cruz is not culturally hispanic and speaks no Spanish. He was raised in Canada, then in Texas. His support is almost exclusively white conservatives. His opponent in the US senate race killed him in the hispanic vote. I just think it’s strange to keep calling Cruz hispanic because of his last name. His daughters certainly are not hispanic. My wife’s g greatmother is a full-blooded Mohawk but she damn sure does not call herself an Indian. She’s an American, mostly of Irish ancestry.

What is the difference between the liberal media and the ayatollahs of Iran?
Liberal media has Fridays off.

Let’s hope this embarrassing incident doesn’t reflect badly on Ann Telnaes’s role as spokeswoman for the Crackwhore Babysitting Agency.
