Washington Post Columnist Accuses Ted Cruz Of Using “Anti-Semitic Dog Whistle”

The Washington Post’s one-man Fifth Column, Dana Milbank, is at it again. Apparently, he has been shadowing Ted Cruz’s campaign. Unable to come up with anything substantive, what he’s produced is one of the most juvenile screeds ever to appear in any major newspaper:

"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 — a Jewish — one. And using “New York” as a euphemism for “Jewish” has long been an anti-Semitic dog whistle."

The mind boggles.

There are good people everywhere, and so I would not want to give the impression that all people living in trailer parks have morals and mores of, say, a Donald Trump. Thanks for the observation and thoughtful reply.

I had a dog whistle once, never saw it attract a Jew, hell it didn't even attract my dog.

Maybe your dog didn't like you.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. Ted Cruz has been secretly scapegoating the Jooos! all over the place. He just makes sure nobody hears him, except for WaPo journalists, with their ultra keen sense of hearing and interpretation. They are only deaf to blatant anti-Semitism when Muslims are screaming it. But their ultra-fine hearing is truly a boon to Jooos! everywhere, keeping them from voting in favor of their own interests.

Cruz is not remotely anti-Semitic.

And, to prevent further attempts by leftist members of the Tribe to slander Cruz, as a Jewish man, I hereby grant Senator Cruz the right to use any Hebrew or Yiddish word he desires.

For example, I’d call Dana Milbank a “mamzer.”
