Ted Cruz gets ire from Chris Matthews, Bill Maher, and Gail Collins
The Examiner ^ | May 25, 2013 | Mark Whittington

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.....

Anyone standing up and acting reesonsible and on top of it speaks the truth is like holy water to these vampires.

WIth all due respect, dude, can’t you let the past rest? Yes, Palin made a mistake backing that yutz McCain, but maybe she thought that she was obligated to him. After all, he chose he to be the VP for his ticket.

Cruz has the right enemies. Having the turd flinging monkeys Maher and Matthews insult him is a sign he's effective.

“He’s getting Palin-ized. “

Yeah, probably so. But, no disrespect meant to Palin, he’s a lot smarter than Palin and more comfortable in his own skin which is what scares hell out of the left.

If I had to ball up all my concern about what these three men think - and put that ball on on the tip of a nail - I’d have to use a microscope to fine it...

What if it’s true. She was humble enough to help pave the way for him.

The mere mention of Ted Cruz seems to bring out the scab pickers...

Cruz and Palin bring out their enemies so well.

Palin and Cruz are tomorrow's leaders. Get use to that.

What a dumb comment. Palin endorsed him and Ted wanted her there to help him. Seems he's pretty keen in knowing how smart she is. There's no competition. They work on the same team.

He must be a lethal weapon, look at how many are trying to take him down. May God bless him and watch over him, and give him the moral courage and stamina to do what’s right.
