The utter nastiness of Ted Cruz (and the utter ZOT-ness of the moron who posted this)

When Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) last month mocked Donald Trump‘s "New York values," it wasn‘t entirely clear what he was implying.
This week we got a clue: For Cruz, "New York" is another way of saying "Jewish."
At an event in New Hampshire, Cruz, the Republican Iowa caucuses winner, was asked about campaign money he and his wife borrowed from Goldman Sachs. Cruz, asserting that Trump had "upward of $480 million of loans from giant Wall Street banks," said: "For him to make this attack, to use a New York term, it‘s the height of chutzpah." Cruz, pausing for laughter after the phrase "New York term," exaggerated the guttural "ch" to more laughter and applause.
But "chutzpah," of course, is not a "New York" term. It‘s a Yiddish â a Jewish â one. And using "New York" as a euphemism for "Jewish" has long been an anti-Semitic dog whistle.

I had not realized that the late Mario the (im)Pious, his idjit offspring Andrew Cuomo, the late Geraldine Apostate Ferraro, current Mayor Comrade Bill de Blahblahsio, Kirsten Gillibrand, Hillary Clinton and a host of other plagues on the body politic including Trump himself were Jewish. That is because they are not.
Now it is certainly true that there are and have been Jewish people in NY politics and California (Boxer and Feinstein), Connecticut (Blumenthal) and many others from other states. There have also been Jewish conservatives.
Does Dana Milbank's WaPo have a clean bill of health in regard to the USA's only ME democratic ally: Bibi Netanyahu's Israel? As with so many other subjects, we haven't heard from Trump on Israel either.

It's cute when the Washington Post's housegirl neoconservative parody plays Social Justice Warrior.
Hillary's email was antisemitic. Cruz's comment was not.

So, "New York" means Jewish? Well, you know, a not-so-wise man did once call it "Hymietown."

When the author hears "New York" he thinks of Jews. Who is the real bigot? <<
Exactly! Impy made this point a couple of weeks ago. Jews are only 8% of the population of New York. The remaining 92% of NY citizens are NON-Jewish. The only way someone could interpret the phrase "New York values" as a slam against Jews is if you have some twisted mentality that "the Jews" are "running" New York.
Says more about the derangement of Trumpbots than it does about Cruz, IMO.

If Cruz is an anti-Semite for using the term "chutzpah" then Obama must be an anti-Semite as well (aside from allowing the Iranians to start working on the next holocaust).
