Newsbusters ^ | December 18, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

The idolatry of failed Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke continues unabated in Politico despite the mockery of such an attitude in their own publication. The latest outbreak of Beto worship is actually quite bizarre since Politico National Correspondent David Siders assures his liberal readers that while O'Rourke might come off as playing fair, he is actually a duplicitous soul who is quite capable of fighting dirty.

Siders reassures nervous liberals about how O'Rourke will hold up in competition with other Democrat presidential candidates in the December 17 Politico by telling them that inside his feigned cloak of political saintliness, there lies a not so hidden dirtbag in "When they go low, Beto can too."

We need a Hispanic comic to do a Beto imitation, only its Boston politics and he’s “Paddy” Garza, running as an Irishman.

I think Robert Francis’ new delta tau chi name should be “The White Shadow”

This is surprising? Democrats don't value ethics and fair play. They value power won at any cost and exercised ruthlessly. So yeah, they have to now portray Beto as secretly a dictator wannabe who will crush his enemies. That's what makes the lefty base swoon.

Of course. Obama did the same thing, and Beto is patterning himself after Obama in every way he can. Have you listened to him talk? He is basically doing an Obama impression.

O’ Rourke is a good Irish name- why do they keep calling him ‘hispanic’?

Wow, you think that they could have drawn him more Kennedyesque if they really tried?

Saying a Democrat can fight dirty is like saying water is wet.

I think that’s part of his appeal with liberals. He kinda looks like Bobby Kennedy.

Well the original illustration had his full head of hair. I stuck on the hat to make him look more "Irish". Believe me they are doing everything in their power to make the Kennedy connection.

Here's the artwork of the meme for download.

It’s amazing how easily Democrats can be fooled by their “politicians” into believing any lie.
