"There he is! Can we get some music to go along with that, some Mexican music maybe?"

CNBC is the Obama channel, not racist when they say it
..also...Rafeal Cruz was not a US citizen at time of son Ted's birth which makes him ineligible to be president. neither is Rubio, Jihndal.

"I thought of him only as an American senator from Texas, and in an attempt, on the fly, to choose music representing that state, I chose Mexican music."

ZZ Top is from Houston. Yeah, Texas has music.

The left only loves Mexican's that bring in violent crime and drugs to feed their appetites and vote for entitlements.

It becomes HATE if the Mexicans are hard working Christian family types that obey law and immigrate through legal background/ quarantine processes.

He's now apologized like a true progressive "if my remarks were insensitive."

He was thinking of Cruz as an American from Texas and of course when he thought of Texas he thought of Mexican music. Sure...

Maybe it would have been safer for him to suggest somebody play some Céline Dion.

Lefty racism always has a fouler odor than any other prejudice because they attempt to cover the stench of their bigotry with the rancid smell of sanctimony.

As for Cruz , he makes some good noises and postures like a a Tea Party Conservative, and the GOP brass hates him ( a glowing recomendation of integrity with jaded red state voters) but he still doesn't pass the sincerity sniff test yet. I understand his wife is a Goldman Sachs VP and CFR member, who was instrumental in Bush admin trade policy. Cruz seem like a tea party guy but he is also an "insider" as well. Is he genuinely representing the interests of the average guy against a wall street big government? - Or is GOP going to field a wall street insider under the "hope and change" banner like the Dems did with Obama?

The jury is still out for me too.

Actually saw that live and wondered ‘huh?'

Somebody on another blog wondered if ‘Hava Nagila' should be played whenever this moron was about to speak.

That's one of those non-apology apologies.

He should have just called Cruz a "White Hispanic", the left gets that dog whistle...

This goes in the "Its only racist when a Republican does it!" file.

Which is why I do not watch television.

It's not just juvenile and inflammatory, it's incorrect.

If one is going to be a bigot, could one at least get one's stereotypes straight? Ted Cruz is of CUBAN descent and was born in Canada. I'm surprised that Liesman didn't ask for "Take Off" to be played.

When I think of Texas and music I think of Waylon & Willie & the boys and Lukenbach but that's just me.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
