The utter nastiness of Ted Cruz (and the utter ZOT-ness of the moron who posted this)

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.

Well, NOOB, I see that you like to promulgate the slander that the Washington Post prints. It’s pretty telling about YOU.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Another endorsement for Ted from the presstitutes!

[BreezyDog]

This is embarrassing for first Mibank, second Wash Compost and third liberals...but the Trunpthumpers here will love it.

[DaveyB]

Dana Milbank is playing the antisemitism card with no foundation, but his won nastiness.

[Admin Moderator]

Ex-Noob.

[Neidermeyer]

The Compost doesn’t like Cruz one bit.

I wish NYC had Orthodox Jewish Values... I’d go there more often. NYC has Bernie/Hillary values.

[goodwithagun]

Can I get some Viking kitties?

[Disestablishmentarian]

I am not a Cruzie, but this is just BS. The church Cruz attends emphasizes the Jewish heritage of Christianity and OT values moreso than most.

[Kid Shelleen]

When the author hears “New York” he thinks of Jews. Who is the real bigot?

[BreezyDog]

Trumpthumpers

[don-o]

Fastest Zot I believe I have ever seen.

[conservativejoy]

Clearly that didn’t work out for the poster.

[VitacoreVision]

Oh boy.

[bereanway]

So everyone who uses a Jewish term is an anti-semite.

This is embarrassingly stupid.

[Fungi]

Nonsense.

[Lagmeister]

It’s still low rent for Cruz to play upon folks ignorance by attempting to compare his no-payment-timeline margin loan from Goldman Sachs to Trump’s standard business financing.

[be-baw]

Wow. Implying that Cruz is anti-Semitic is absurd. Too bad Dana led with that because the rest of his bit piece was pretty good.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.

Eh, I think NY term is acceptable. I’m from NY and I use a lot of Yiddish words, my cousins from elsewhere find that amusing. I’m sure they think of me as using NY lingo, not “Yiddish”.
