Ted Cruz gets ire from Chris Matthews, Bill Maher, and Gail Collins

One thing can be said about Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is that he attracts media ire as much as a Hollywood celebrity attracts paparazzi. If one’s worth is measured in the number of one’s enemies, Cruz is richer beyond the dreams of avarice.

Chris Matthews, the MSNBC talking head, left a blog post on May 24, 2013 that stated, without apparent irony, “Pay attention to Senator Cruz because he is the unsmiling, contemptuous face of the wild, nasty, hard-right fringe of a party that once competed with the Democrats to be the country’s governing party.”

Bill Maher, also without irony, took to his own blog, quoted by Newsbusters, and stated, concerning Cruz’s alleged presidential ambitions, “And you can bet the farm that he will run, because he's got Newt Gingrich's ambition and ego mixed with the steely-eyed focus of a serial killer. He's young and Cuban, like Rubio, but even Tea Baggier -- and totally unwilling to compromise with liberals on anything, including eating with a knife and fork.” “Tea Bagger” is a pejorative used against members of the tea party movement that is a reference to an exotic sex act.....

He's getting Palin-ized.

If you ain’t drawing flak, you ain’t over the target.

Idiot Chris Matthews said, “Pay attention to Senator Cruz because he is the unsmiling, contemptuous face of the wild, nasty, hard-right fringe of a party that once competed with the Democrats to be the country’s governing party.”



Senator Cruz ROCKS!

[Frank_2001]

Now just a second, Mrs. Matthews. You are describing the REPUBLICAN PARTY as having a “wild, nasty hard-right fringe”??? SPECIFIC EXAMPLES, PLEASE!!!! /s;)

I can say without equivocation, Ted Cruz is the best senator that this country has seen in decades.

[sickoflibs]

Cruz is a lethal weapon.

If the country is taking moral instruction from that decadent trio, things are far worse than imagined.

Senator Cruz does rock! My wife and I take pride in every ass whipping he gives to Washington.

RE :”He's getting Palin-ized.”

???

Big difference, Cruz is in the Senate causing BIG headaches for them and not not selling out to FNC Greta for $$$. He is the real deal.

The more ire Ted Cruz from the likes of Chris Matthews, Bill Maher, and Gail Collins, the more it shows who these stooges are. It tells me these neutered lapdogs of the Lame Stream Media have eaten their daily chow from their IRS friends and are feeding it to us second hand. The American public is turning off their dog poo and soon their advertisers will too.

It must make you sick that he praises Sarah Palin and often says he’s in the US Senate largely due to her.

1) Ted Cruz is always smiling and 2) I though to Maher, calling someone a Teabagger would be a compliment.

Really, they're all afraid of a “non-white” Republican in a national election.

[Nifster]

And I like him all the more as each day goes by
