Ted Cruz to the New York Times: "Thanks for the endorsement!"

[Common Sense 101]

Hey New York Slimes.... Project much?

[Parley Baer]

The nyt can go to hell.

[exit82]

Grating and pompous clown?

Hillary is the first person I thought of.

[depressed in 06]

I call him Mr. President.

[Steely Tom]

The limousine liberals around the world - in the MSM, government and big corporations - have joined, up using their private means of communication and travel, to create a virtual Elysium here on Earth.

They do not live among or even have any contact with ordinary people. They live in gated, guarded environments in which they feel utterly invulnerable, just as if they lived on a self-sufficient satellite in orbit high above us.

They actually believe this, and they think ordinary people are taken in by the nonsense propaganda BS they spout for public consumption.

[McGruff]

If the NY Times said something nice about Ted Cruz I’d be concerned. He must be ok.

[TTFlyer]

Hmm, the NYT and FNC’s Greg Gutfeld share the same opinion of Ted Cruz.

[Da Coyote]

A pompous clown beats the incumbent talking anus and the alternate ignorant lying witch-bitch.

“’Bomb-Thrower...Grating and Pompous’ Clown”

In my view, when you’re reduced to name-calling, you’ve lost the argument.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

They accidentally typed the name “Ted Cruz” when I know they meant “Barak Obama” and “Hillary Clinton.”

[ExCTCitizen]

Another front page editorial, Slimes? Why not put ‘We endorse Bernie Sanders/Hillary Clinton in 2016’ instead of ‘All the BS fit to print’?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Thank God for the bomb throwers. :-)

[Calpublican]

Good News! He’s scaring them.

[Steve_Seattle]

"Grating and pompous clown.
""Hillary is the first person I thought of."

I thought of Hillary, Obama, Gore, Kerry, Bernie Sanders, Harry Reid, Stephen Colbert, Bill Nye, Tom Brokaw, Bill Mahar, Jon Stewart, Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, and Thom Hartmann.

CRUZ: Loretta Lynch told a gathering the day after the San Bernardino attack
that her department would move to prosecute anyone whose, quote, "anti-Muslim rhetoric," quote, "edged towards violence."
The day after a terror attack, 14 innocent lives snuffed away.
As has been the case all too often in the Obama administration,
we may be facing once again the weaponization of one of our own government agencies,
deployed not to protect Americans,
but to force them to submit
to the Obama administration's code
of what is and is not acceptable speech.

RUSH: Heck, I'd go even farther than that.
The day after 14 Americans are wiped out and others are wounded by Islamic extremists,
the attorney general warns the American people
any criticism of those people and we're gonna prosecute you.
Anything you say that might lead to any violence, we're gonna come after you.
"Well, wait a minute,
what about the people that just killed 14 Americans?"
"Well, they were radicalized.
It wasn't their fault,"
or some such drivel.


"The Republican establishment has more experience electing Democrats than I do.
They've shown they know how to do it, in presidential races. "

It really IS worth your time.

[Steve_Seattle]

Every time I’ve seen him on TV, Cruz comes across as affable and well-spoken. He does not come across as angry.

[DoughtyOne]

...the NYT is an unlikeable socially awkward "bomb-thrower" rag ("appraised as grating and pompous as a matter of bipartisan consensus") in "NYT the Gruff Taking a Turn At Being Nice." The online headline was no less hostile: "After Making Enemies, the NYT Tries to Make Friends." Never mind that it's subscription numbers show it's gaining no supporters anywhere.

If their version of this showed on the front page, that paper is now middle school tragic. Just wow...

[JimSEA]

They actually have the nerve to call anyone pompous when Obama is their president. A little irony?

[Steve_Seattle]

"Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders suffer heavy deficits in the charisma department."

For some strange reason, even some conservatives think that Obama has charisma and eloquence. I've never seen it. He is petulant, preachy, snarky, and he delivers un-memorable speeches in that clipped, flat, half-sentence-at-a-time monotone, as his head swivels back and forth like he's watching a tennis match somewhere above the horizon.
