Chorus: Late Night Comics Mock Ted Cruz as Anti-Immigrant, Stupid
MRC Newsbusters ^ | March 24, 2015 | Scott Whitlock

Posted on 03/24/2015 9:56:02 AM PDT by Maceman

In a preview of the 2016 campaign, all five late night comics on Monday night mocked Ted Cruz, hitting the Republican as anti-immigrant, regressive and stupid. CBS host David Letterman didn't bother with a joke. Instead, he lectured, "Here's what I find interesting about Ted Cruz, he was born in Canada. His father fled to the United States from Cuba. Yet, Ted Cruz is against immigration. Isn't that odd?"

He then sneered, "Ted Cruz could be president of the United States and if you thought the Secret Service was drinking before –" On TBS, Conan O'Brien hammered, "[Cruz] pledged to lead America boldly forward into the late 1950s."

Regarding the senator's opposition to amnesty, O'Brien noted that Cruz's first commercial was in Spanish and sneered, "Cruz said it's important for me to reach out to the people I'm trying to deport."

But, will the millenials follow that jester? That's the question. There's no doubt that The Daily Show will go on, but it gained most of it's popularity in the 2000s when Bush hatred was rampant and popular in pop culture. If Cruz gets in or if he campaigns well I don't think he's going to be as inept as W was with dealing with idiots like Stewart or Colbert.

Whatever.

Apparently, you're of the "Government Has A Bottomless Checkbook" school.

There's no reasoning with that particular mindset.

"Stupid", eh? So, when's the last time Obama did a 30 minute long speech without notes or a teleprompter.
 
Half past NEVER.

I'm from the school that teaches:

Winners never quit and quitters never win.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Stand your ground.

Palin should have realized that politics is a blood sport before she ran for governor. Don't misunderstand my position: Palin is great for conservatives and her endorsement carries a lot of clout. I just don't want a quitter as our candidate for POTUS.

Cruz has authored 70 United States Supreme Court briefs and presented 43 oral arguments, including nine before the United States Supreme Court. (That is from Wikipedia.)

Yup, he’s stupid, alright.

David Letterman? I thought he died.

No, David Letterman and Larry King are the same guy. You have never seen a picture of them together.

The funny thing is Letterman is only 67. He just looks 85 due to being a liberal.

Then you believe in Palin, because 7 years later, she's still giving it to them till they cry.

She's in their heads, takin' up all their thots.

And she's not spending our tax dollars to do it, regardless of your personal belief that politicians should spend our money like water to "defend themselves".

BTW - the Democrat Party would have made the Republicans pay a price for pulling the cr@p that their Demmie operatives did in Alaska.

And pseudo-conservatives like yourself just don't see it.

All you see are Marquess of Queensberry rules.

But then, you weren't here at FR for the impeachment wars, so I guess you wouldn't get it.

just taking their orders and doing their job to destroy the world.

As a Christian, I find it fascinating in a sick way how those that are so cancerous are given so much. And no, please do not post biblical answers, not needed.
