Okay, I get it. The Washington Post is the official newspaper of the Obama administration. But that’s all the MORE reason their cartoon depicting Latino candidate Ted Cruz’s daughters as “dancing monkeys” should have been cut the instant it was penned.

Can you imagine the WaPo trying to pull this stunt with Obama’s daughters, Malia and Dropsy? Hey, editorial board, if you're going to engage in racial slurs, at least be geographically correct. You probably could have gotten away with depicting the Cruz kidz as macaws, armadillos, or pehaps even the taco bell chihuaha, which still gets a free pass from the politically correct types.

When the WaPo finally pulled the Cruz cartoon, their excuse (but not apology) was even more astounding. “Our policy is to leave children out of it”. WTF? So that means it would be okay to portray Obama himself, and Cruz, as apes??? For her part, the post’s “award winning cartoonist” disagrees with the the newspaper's decision to remove her drawing, and continues to feature it on her website and in tweets. Nice!

Marco Rubio, whose parents fled the steaming jungles of cuba, was quick to condemn the cartoon along with Cruz, JEB Bush, who is in a biracial marriage with a hispanic woman, is sure to follow suit as soon as his advisors give him permission.

Who’s NOT condemning the cartoon? Obama himself, Hillary, Sanders . . . Evidently it’s THEIR policy to leave children (and apes) “IN” as part of the political mudslinging?

Irony alert – The Washington Post sees no issue with attacking – as racist - Trump's idea for a temporary suspension of Islamic visas until our nation’s security forces can get their act together. However, they obviously don’t think the same rules apply to themselves when it comes to profiling and intolerance.

Cruz – you’ve just been “maccaca’d” by the left wing media.
 
Ironic how Cruz uses his kids in the video to raise money anyway... :rolleyes:

"When a politician uses his children as political props, as Ted Cruz recently did in his Christmas parody video in which his eldest daughter read (with her father’s dramatic flourish) a passage of an edited Christmas classic, then I figure they are fair game," Telnaes wrote in a post with the cartoon.

What's wrong with Cruz complaining about it?

They shouldn't have been portrayed as monkeys maybe... but he should be smart enough to know, when he uses his children in an ad, there will probably be some derogatory comments made regardless.
To avoid it... just don't indulge in it. imo

a candidate is allowed to make his/her own decisions about what family members accompany him on trips, sit in the audience for speeches, come on stage for accolades, etc.

this is also a privilege granted to movie stars, singers, and returning servicemembers.

the press is not allowed to depict such children as apes, dogs, or reptiles simply because the parents permitted someone else to photograph or broadcast images of those kids.
 
Unless there's something I'm not seeing, I don't know why you would assume those are supposed to be his daughters. I think it is just showing Cruz as the master manipulator he in all likelihood is. I think you could show Clinton in the same context.

Edit: So it was on her Twitter feed identifying them as his kids. Doh! Fail!

He's not a Democrat, so there's nothing to see here.

Actually Rick, my guess is even with the Twitter comment, I don't think her intent when she drew that cartoon was that those were his daughters. I think it was just a comment about his (legendary) manipulativeness. And she was just suggesting how he uses his daughters to soften his image as an example. I'd be willing to giver her the benefit of the doubt...

It's better to chastise Cruz for using his kids as political props than to respond in kind and depict two little girls as monkeys.

I'm glad you think so.

Are you willing to call on Cruz to pull this ad where he's using his very young kids who shouldn't, at their age, care about politics?


It's right wing indoctrination of the young much like this...


Check out the title of this video, which btw, was pulled by the producers of the film because they knew they were busted...

He didn't use them as pawns for political purposes, like Cruz used his.


Where were Obama's kids used like puppets to make a political point the way Cruz used his?

There is a difference in the videos, one that you're unable to understand.
