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."
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.

It is no accident that these hit pieces on Trump and Cruz are being so perfectly orchestrated by the left, GOP(e), and the MSM. It’s like they are workng together. ( :) /s)
I’m confused. The guy (or gal) posted a WaPo article that obviously isn’t popular with Cruz supporters, but what made that ‘zot-able’ and the FReeper deserving of being banned/suspended?
All kinds of articles get posted here that disfavor one or another of the candidates. What was the offense here that differs from all the others?
