    Poor Hillary she is such a delicate flower. How will she ever handle being in office? It would be better if she dropped out of the race and wrapped her fragile being in bubble wrap for protection.
    Poor baby.

    There is no racial connotation when comparing whites to monkeys.

    But what if American media indeed behaves like her pet dogs when they cover up all her criminalities? From Whitewater to Benghazi and emails. If any republican politician did one tenth of what she did he would be justifiably destroyed by media.

    As a leftist you should be expert in victimology.

    Cruz himself is half-Hispanic, his children are one-forth Hispanic, and American Hispanics generally identify as white or caucasian. Three strikes for your argument.

    So a half black isn't protected from the monkey attack?

    Lot a rules. But the leftists sure have formalized this.

    And these were girls. Aren't they protected?

    Could we do this to Hitlary?

    I have a hard time believing someone can be this lost on race issues. A Dane would know better and that says a lot for a country as white as theirs.

    A very common cultural theme the dancing monkeys. Especially in the USA and New York where you had people walking around with dancing monkeys.
    Now... Any normal person with basic knowledge of our culture would be able to understand that cartoon as an attack on Cruz using his kids as props.
    Had Cruz been black the cartoonist would never had used monkeys as EVERYONE knows that comparing black to monkeys was a common racist theme. Especially in the USA but pretty much everywhere in the western world.

    If that strikes you as a lot of rules it is your failing (Mos Maiorum are not rules but let's not expect too much from someone who writes your posts).
    It is not like it isn't clear what you are.

    Kids are off limits PERIOD! Dems should have some morals, shouldn't they? To portray a 4 and 7 year old as dogs is beyond the pale.

    The newspaper has no class-----they are CHILDREN! They are not running for office, but they are part of his family and he is a family man. And the cartoonist was a woman----obviously not the motherly type. Shame on her!

    Excuses, excuses for bad behavior! Children are innocent! This is why no one likes Liberals. They are just too over-the-top. If someone did that a Dem candidate, they would be screaming bloody murder.

    So half blacks can be cartooned as monkeys? Or just quarter black?

    And women are fair game?

    I know you know. Tell us so we don't err.

    He was merely pointing out that MSM is in the tank for Hillary and Libs in general. What that woman did shows how nasty Liberals are. And I don't buy the editor's story that he "didn't know." You already have angry Americans and this did nothing to endear Liberals and their bigoted, biased news to them. It just makes them angrier.

    Try it out. If you aren't intelligent enough to figure it out I guess trial and error is your best shot.

    Good luck. You have probably needed a lot of that in the past.

    Somehow, getting his daughters to memorize and regurgitate stuff that they don't understand kind of shows bad taste. If they were just part of the picture, and not 'talking heads', it would have been better. I think he exploited his daughters. Even as young as they are, once they enter the 'fray'--even if unwittingly--they are fair game. I think it was tasteless of Cruz, and tasteless of the cartoonist. Then, for Cruz to capitalize on the incident adds to the tastelessness of it all.

    I think the cartoon of Hillary is funny because its true. Most of the MSM is shilling for her.

    I don't subscribe to race based rules. I assign equality to all.

    That's why I rely on the left on all matters of racial discrimination.

    Race never even crossed my mind. Any negativity against Obama's children have been met with swift calls for social justice. No the media has a double standard when comes to politicians kids in this country. Well let's be honest most of them seem to have a double standard when it comes to D vs R but someone not from this country probably can't fully understand.

    If you say anything negative about Obama's kids, his true kids not the one he adopted because they look like him, the left will try to destroy you in every legal way possible.

    Dane? That's Denmark, right?

    Remind me ... Is Denmark one of the countries prone to throwing bananas at black soccer players or am I thinking of a host of other enlightened European countries?

    It's not my fault that conservatives have spent several hundred years comparing blacks to monkeys.
