‘New Yorker’ Describes Hispanic Ted Cruz as ‘Uppity’
Breitbart.com ^ | 03/25/2015 | John Nolte

Apparently it is again okay to use the pejorative “uppity” against Americans who are members of a racial minority group. Ted Cruz is a historic Senator and presidential candidate, the first Cuban-American to join either club, and for that reason (and his unapologetic conservatism) the media is out for blood. The New Yorker went so far as to describe Cruz with the racial pejorative “uppity.”

The conventional wisdom is that Cruz hasn’t got a chance, and, as far as the Presidency goes, it’s probably accurate. To many Americans, he is the uppity loudmouth who, in the fall of 2013, less than a year into his first term as a senator, helped bring the federal government to a halt.

Consider the amount of “ink” that has been allocated to Cruz news since Monday morning. It may be in short supply when the next one announces.

It is astonishing, since most of the Leftests/Dems/GOPelites say he doesn’t stand a change. So why have they expended so much “ink” to this guy who ‘cannot’ get elected?

“ink” = print, web, broadcast media.

The most racist people in the world are liberal whites.
Yes, indeed! Methinks they protest too much. Instead of facing up to their own bigoted attitudes, they need to project them on others. Is it guilt? A lack of character? Some holier-than-thou superiority complex? An incessant need to ingratiate themselves with those whom they perceive as less forunate to soothe their fragile egos?

“...the statement was aimed at the NY Post ..”

The article was in the New Yorker, not the NY Post. The latter is the city’s most conservative mass market pub.

The uppity people at the New Yorker apparently forgot that most of the government was still up and running during the so-called shutdown.

Well they know that it won’t work if they call him “stupid.” They’re now just throwing invectives at him to see what will stick. It’s an act of desperation.

The New Yorker obnoxiously demonstrating the double standard in speech.

And it’s not that I wish to curtail its voice, but Hell should fall upon those that criticize the Right for expressing anything similar.
