Cruz-Derangement Syndrome: Not 'Touched by an Angel' But...Clipped by an Alleged Anglo

The tawdriness of American identity politics reached a new low this week as former New Mexico governor, frustrated 2008 democrat presidential candidate, and serial corruption suspect Bill Richardson offered his take on the junior senator from Texas.

On Sunday, Richardson was a guest on ABC’S This Week when he said that because Ted Cruz doesn’t support amnesty for illegal aliens, he shouldn’t be considered an Hispanic!

“Almost every Hispanic in the country wants to see immigration reform. No, I don’t think he should be defined as a Hispanic,” Richardson said.

Such a politically perverse statement reminds me of how a certain former CNN anchoress, the ambiguously ethnic Obama flack Soledad O’Brien, decided that it was appropriate to refer to Nifonged neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman as a “white Hispanic.”

Jack Cashill, author of Deconstructing Obama, and of the about-to-be-released If I Had a Son: Race, Guns, and the Railroading of George Zimmerman, commented about Richardson’s ridiculous remark, “Odd that a guy named ‘Richardson’ would call a guy named ‘Cruz’ not Hispanic.”

(I might point out that the name “O’Brien” isn’t exactly Afro-Cuban, either.)

Of course we know why Richardson spouted his absurdity, just as we know why O’Brien piled on with her distortion: The narrative of the Left demands that anyone who doesn’t come across as “down for the struggle” of the allegedly oppressed brown supremacists — especially anyone who seems lacking in melanin just enough to be plausibly shoved into the category of “white” by virtue of “acting white” — gets their card pulled, gets kicked out of the Tan Klan, and gets dis-invited from the diversity banquet

Why does Ted Cruz drive his opponents into conniptions and night sweats?

Bluntly put, Cruz scares the crap out of his foes, and he runs legal circles around them.

If I were Cruz I would prefer to be identified as American by birth, Texan by the grace of God, and Tejano of proud ancestry. Richardson can va y come mierda.

gets kicked out of the Tan Klan

Oh, I GOTTA remember THAT one!

“Almost every Hispanic in the country wants to see immigration reform...” LIAR.

The mexicans I know (granted I only know a handful) are middle class legal immigrants, they are staunchly opposed to amnesty and they have family in Mehico. At least they have said they are in the past.

If we indentify politicians by their culture, Richardson should be a North Korean. He went to DOE to help Clinton cover up the Chinese spy ring at Los Alamos. He has now visited North Korea numerous times and had them visit him at the governors mansion in New Mexico.

This despite no diplomatic relations with that country to speak of, no trade, no cultural exchange.

My guess is that Kim provides him with young women and cash. Why else would a New Mexico governor be so deeply intwined there?

So you, a troll who signed up on 3-22-13, gives us a crap article from some dumpster turd named Clash.

What’s your point, midget-boy?

If you wanna be part of FR, you gotta join the conversation, troll.

Richardson ran away from his Hispanicness until it became politically expedient, and then he found his true Mexican self.

Cruz doesn’t have to run away from anything. He has mucho macho.

I’m still waiting for Richardson to ask for a correction from reporter Jolene Krueger via The Albuquerque Journal when she wrote he was born in Mexico!

He is supposedly an anchor baby born in Pasadena, CA so I would think he would want a clarification since he ran for POTUS. **crickets***
