I don't know about worse than being a serial killer, but Ted Cruz would say equivalent.


Ted Cruz lashes out: ‘The overwhelming majority of violent criminals are Democrats’

http://www.rawstory.com/2015/11/ted-cruz-lashes-out-the-overwhelming-majority-of-violent-criminals-are-democrats/

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) accused news outlets of covering up what he described as violent tendencies among Democrats.

“Here’s the simple and undeniable fact. The overwhelming majority of violent criminals are Democrats,” Cruz told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt. “The media doesn’t report that.”...

Ted Cruz is a Cuban-Canadian racist ... whose father, a theocrat, thinks is the second coming of Jesus.  Only a maniac would vote for him.  Unfortunately there are a lot of maniacs out there.

Maybe so, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's correct.

OMG that is gold right there! I love that eagle too. Animals can sense evil or maybe just the stupid.

Jack89 - You don't get the subtext ... he is implying that all criminals are Black and all Black folk are Democrats ... unless of course one is hiding under one's bed from the hive mind of the Mexicans ... in which case all Mexican-Americans are Democrats too ;-(

I know some law abiding African-Americans and Hispanic-Americans ... and some European-Americans give me the creeps.  Politics brings out the fluoride in people ;-((

I never knew Austria-Hungary was a communist state....

Communism isn't the only form of totalitarianism.

It's hard to get your precise meaning sometimes with all the hyperbole and sarcasm you throw out there.  I think he was addressing left-leaning media bias more than anything.  What I find interesting is that you turned his comments about Democrats into a racist thing.

So do I.  What's your point?  Do you have something against "European-Americans?" 

[Baruch]

Jack89  - Well ... is that projection on your part?  If the whole point is ... who should be be bigots about?  Maybe the greater question is why be bigots at all?  There were probably people, particularly in Chinatown, in San Francisco in the 1930, who blamed all Japanese, including those in California, for the brutal rape of Nanking.  Do you think they would be right to engage in hate speech or worse against Japanese living in California at that time?  Would it have been reasonable as per Pr126 ... for them to have supposed that the Japanese hive mind would be reason not only to suspect that all Japanese everywhere, even in Peru and Brazil ... were threats to humanity as a whole ... because of writings by Nichiren (a nationalist Buddhist of Japanese Medieval times)?  I would hope the answer to all of those is no.

But clearly race baiting ... is a sign of "awesome genius and infinite personal integrity" right?  But if you want to join Mr Cruz in coming out of the partisan closet ... there will be strings where you can get down.

What Left Media?  You mean Marxists R Us Broadcasting?  The Left is nearly extinct, except for folks slightly to the Left of Hitler.

Well ... an example of a good X, disproves the insane hyperbole of all X are bad.  Also if all X are good, that is demolished by finding one bad X.  Not speaking of you, but Ted Cruz et al.

Nearly extinct = 30% affiliation (44% if you count leaners).  And we have a self-described socialist in this election, but somehow he's just slightly left of Hitler.  I guess their platforms look so similar that it's easy to confuse the two.

"to the left of Hitler" is pretty much everybody on the planet, since Hitler is about as right-wing as you can get. Maybe ISIS might be further to the right of Hitler. Trump and the American teabaggers would be slightly to the left of Hitler.

Fear of Terrorism Lifts Donald Trump in New York Times/CBS Poll

As I said back on post 108, Trump doesn't need financial money to go all the way, but his threat to go solo would ruin the GOP to get the oval office with this coming election.  So if Trump wants the nomination, he's pretty much in command to get it.

Fear of Terrorism Lifts Donald Trump in New York Times/CBS Poll

Interestingly, Hillary polls higher than Donald on how they'd handle terrorism.

It's kind of fun to watch, in a train-wreck sort of way.  If Donnyboy becomes the nominee, he's going to have to start off fighting to get back the GOP voters who are more scared of him than they are of another four to eight years of Democrats in the White House, and there will be precious few crossover voters -- I don't expect any noticeable 'Democrats for Trump' as there were Democrats for Nixon and Democrats for Reagan.

Meanwhile, I found something I wrote many years ago predicting a split in the GOP in 2017 into a moderate/right of center 'classical' Republican party, and a wingnut right-wing "American" party (essentially, the teabagger wing).  And you know, led by Donnie, I am starting to think there will be a split, possibly as early as next year when the GOP establishment starts cooking the delegate books to keep Trump from getting the nomination.

I also predicted a Green surge in 2022 and a comparable split in the Democrats at that time, leading to the rise of coalition government in Congress, typically Green/Dem, Rep/Wingnut, or even Dem/Rep and legislating from the center.  I'm less confident of that happening.

There was no mention of race until you made the assumption.  It's the card liberals play to manipulate their constituents, along with any others involving perceived victimhood.  It gets old.  Conservatives are no better, using religion and traditional values to manipulate their voting fans.  I think both Democrats and Republicans cause more harm than good by pushing their particular pet agendas.  What's scary is that a lot of them believe the bullshit they're peddling.  I don't particularly care for Cruz, but I don't think he's the racist/general purpose bigot that you and the article are painting him to be.  Then again maybe I'm wrong, I don't know a lot about him.

What Left Media?  You mean Marxists R Us Broadcasting?  The Left is nearly extinct, except for folks slightly to the Left of Hitler.

I would say most major networks like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, etc are left leaning with the exception of FOX, and they're clearly right leaning.  Clear bias on all accounts.  I suppose it's relative and your view on what's left or not shows where you are on the spectrum.

Well ... an example of a good X, disproves the insane hyperbole of all X are bad.  Also if all X are good, that is demolished by finding one bad X.  Not speaking of you, but Ted Cruz et al.

Not sure where you're going with this and don't really care to try and decipher it.

Sanders wants to continue the same foreign policy as Obama, and Hillary agrees with him.  Kill all the brown folk.  But Sanders is Jewish ... and owned by the AIPAC I can assume ... so he is the sock puppet of Netanyahu.  And yes, that is only slightly Left of Hitler ... just like Likud.

Just because someone wants to say ... lower the retirement age, or make it easier for single mothers ... doesn't make him Lenin.  It makes him FDR ... but then he was a commie reptilian too ;-)
