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."

NAMBOLA (North American Media-Barack Obama Love Association).
There's a reason their collective breath smells like Obama's pooter...
Sarah Palin will have to sublet some of the space she owns in the heads of the Lefties to Cruz...
Well Bush elected never to acknowledge or address the attacks from the left, and Palin was in the public eye only for a short time and completely unprepared for what the media did to her.
Neither of those situations are the case with Ted Cruz.
He has 10 months to get his message out before the primaries, and I think he will send the media critics running with their tails between their legs.
He will be dead once he leaves his show. No one will remember him in a short time. That’s showbiz.
Remember that Cohan went to communist Cuba recently and found everything wonderful.
Obama was an Affirmative Action doper.
In short, a semi-educated dolt.
Didn’t take long for the knives to come out. The moment the leftists realized that Cruz is a threat to their entrenched stranglehold on power, they started to destroy him.
The media thug-scrummed her in just the first month.
I remember reading a FR article detailing the hit back then.
Walker won the recall in JUNE 2012, Obama "won" the election in November 2012.
I believe the Democrat Party bussed in voters from Illinois to vote in Milwaukee & Madistan (The Berkeley of the Midwest!).
Legal Spanish speaking immigrants should think what O'Brien is not racist?
Mexicans are a core Democrat constituency because they tend to be low income and dependent on social programs. Cuban-Americans as a general rule are not.
And when she quit her job because the Left was raping the Alaska taxpayers with its baseless attacks on her.
BTW - if the GOPe wasn't a bunch of sissies who wear their underwear backwards so's the Democrat Party has easier access, that little stunt the Demmies pulled in ALaska would have cost them a few legislators across the country.
I would have punished them by taking out several pieces of trash like Charley "Tax Cheat" Rangel, Eric "Obama's Dick" Holder and their ilk.
Make 'em cry like little girls.
Alan Dershowitz of all people called Cruz his most brilliant student ever at Harvard Law School.
I kinda wish Dershowitz hadn’t been caught banging that 16 year old multiple times now.
The low information voters are a large percentage of the late night viewers. They also get their "news" from comedy central, another cesspool of dim indoctrination.
I think the Daily Show will still stay on the air. They’ll just get another jester.
Right about Palin - we all have learned since the Press annihilated her. We KNOW they will do this to Cruz. We need to help him - to get in front of e mocking to come.
Right now the comics think they’ve found a few good zingers on him: stupid (that cannot last) and against all immigration. All Cruz has to do is to give a speech where he talks exclusively about is our legal immigration system and what he proposes to make it better. Don’t even mention illegal immigration in the speech.
Make it a totally Pro Immigration speech. Get the poor all over the world excited. Mention that it isn’t fair to only take in the troubled people of nations who happen to be right next to us: there is more diversity if we give lots of places a chance. Etc.
When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. What they don’t do is quit!
Maybe you know more than I, but Dershowitz threatened to sue. Maybe "enemies" of the administration get accused of these things. Similar has happened to Menendez but these guys aren't sitting in jail.
Reagan went through this stuff with the press as well. If it is available, one can check the radical cartoons from Rolling Stone back then. In the end, almost every Republican and surely any Republican with standards is going to be their target.
