Watch it, eh? Dems take turns cracking Canada jokes at Ted Cruz' expense
Fox News ^ | 10/16/2015

Democrats have unveiled a new weapon against Ted Cruz: Canada jokes. 

The Canadian-born American citizen, and Republican presidential candidate, was the butt of two north-of-the-border jabs this week. 

Ahead of Tuesday's 2016 debate, the Democratic Party’s official Twitter account tweeted it was so excited it forgot to wish Cruz a happy Canadian Thanksgiving.

We're so excited for the #DemDebate that we almost forgot to wish a happy Canadian Thanksgiving to @tedcruz ��

Then on Thursday, White House spokesman Josh Earnest invoked Cruz again as he celebrated his hometown Kansas City Royals reaching the American League Championship Series where they will face the Toronto Blue Jays.

“I certainly was pleased to see the Royals advance by defeating the Houston Astros last night, and they're ready to take on Ted Cruz’s other hometown team, the Toronto Blue Jays, next,” Earnest said to laughter from the press corps.

The Texas senator and 2016 presidential hopeful was born in Calgary -- not Toronto -- in 1970, while his parents were working in the oil business.

in rebuttal there is this.....

Those Canadians sure do try to get along with everyone!
Before You put your Camel to Bed
...
An Insightful Observation of Tolerance
Jiggs McDonald, NHL Hall of Fame broadcaster speaking in Ontario, says:
“I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against another mosque being built in Toronto. I think it should be the goal of every Canadian to be tolerant regardless of their religious beliefs. Thus the mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.”

“That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque; thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, ‘The Turban Cowboy’, and the other, a topless bar, would be called ‘You Mecca Me Hot’.”

“Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbecue pork restaurant, called ‘Iraq of Ribs’.”
“Across the street there could be a lingerie store called ‘Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret’, with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods, and on the other side a liquor store called ‘Morehammered’.”

“All of this would encourage Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us.”

Yes we should promote tolerance, and you can do your part by passing this on.

And if you are not laughing or smiling at this point... It is either past your bedtime, or it’s midnight at the oasis and time to put your camel to bed.

This is exactly what I said they would do, and the media will take it up as well should he win the nomination.

They give Obutthole a pass, but they will not give one of ours a pass.

It's still fun to throw PC back at the libtards for attacking a minority like Ted Cruz. Try it sometime and watch their heads explode, lol. I did that one time, when on a public online forum, the libtards were doing nothing but slamming Cruz and they went ballistic when I called them racist for attacking a minority, lol. You're right, that's probably why they are playing it safe.

Ted getting the Trump treatment. He should be happy he is. They must fear him also.

There’s plenty to joke about the dems...if the outcome weren’t so serious for the country. Take a poll how many Americans think it’s all funny.
