Milhouse has always been a lying leftist schmuck.
Milbank’s not the only one. Check out Bret Stephens’ increasingly shrill columns in the Wall Street Journal. Last week he accused Cruz of “dog whistle” anti-Semitism, and this week somehow managed to turn Brooklyn’s own red Bernie Sanders into a coded Jew hater.
The odd part is, this article does precisely the same thing Stephens and Milbank do - mixing up real anti-Semitism, guilt by association, and saying the obvious (that Jews in America are a powerful lobby) to find joohaters hidden under every bed.
This is sadly another example of the partisan arrogance that the liberal political correctness police use with their position and the megaphone of the media to project an agenda against conservatism.
Cruz could gave summed up NEW YORK VALUES in one word “DeBlasio.â€
I promised to post this (no pun intended, so here is my letter to the Compost.
To the Editor:
What’s worse than anit-Semitism? Calling someone an anti-Semite when you know the charge is completely false. Yet that is what Dena Milbank did in his Sunday column [”Ted Cruz. Master of Insinuations”, February 7].
I was born and raised n New York. I completely understood what Ted Cruz meant by “New York values” and not only was it not offensive, I agree with him. Donald Trump is a liberal with the values of a New York liberal. He has changed his party registration six times.
The term has nothing to do with Jews, unlike the liberals’ constant invocation of Goldman Sachs. It has everything to do with issues — with Mr. Trump’s opposition to defunding Planned Parenthood, with his support for touchback amnesty (sending illegal aliens home, then letting them back in — which is precisely Trump’s position), with his support for socialized medicine, which he says “works well in Scotland and Canada”, and so many other liberal positions Mr. Trump is trying to hide.
To suggest that the term has to do with anything else — especially to impute something as vile as anti-Semitism to it — is thoroughly dishonest and a shameless smear. I thought the Post had higher standards than to print such vile falsehoods.
And Milbank also knows that the full CNN report on Ben Carson insinuated that he might be leaving the race — especially in the context of his advisor, Armstrong Williams, having suggested as much and staffers leaving Carson for Cruz.
Does Ted Cruz scare you so much that you have to resort to lies and smears to destroy him? I wouldn’t be able to sleep well at night if I had written what Milbank did, or if I had published it. You should be ashamed, but I’m not sure you have the capacity.
