NEWSWEEK: CRUZ AND GANG 'NAZIS,' TRUMP IS 'WORST'

'Is there some sort of rule that to be a patriot you also have to be an a--hole?'

A Newsweek journalist is coming under fire after posting, and then deleting on Wednesday, a tweet suggesting Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz and his supporters are Nazis.

Alexander Nazaryan, a senior writer for Newsweek, tweeted a message stating, “Ted Cruz has a strong ground game in Iowa.” The photo attached to the message showed a legion of marching Nazis carrying swastika flags.

On his Twitter page, Nazaryan makes no secret of his personal political views about the Texas senator and other Republicans in this year’s campaign for the White House.

“Ted Cruz is an atrocity of a human being,” Nazaryan tweeted. This message was not deleted.

Other messages still on his page include:

• “Donald Trump becoming President would be the worst thing to befall America since True Detective, Season Two.”
• “It’s time to shame not only Donald Trump, but those among his supporters who are openly bigoted and racist.”

• “Is there some sort of rule that to be a patriot you also have to be an a–hole?”

Nazaryan also took on a tone that some might say sounds demonic, proclaiming: “I’m looking forward to World War III.”

Radio host Rush Limbaugh took notice of Nazaryan’s tweet tying Cruz and his backers to Nazis, calling it “a shining example” of bias, prejudice and hate the media have for the conservative Republican. He said any apology would be “transparent and phony.”

“This is what they think,” said Limbaugh. “This is who they think Ted Cruz and his supporters are. They really do. They think they’re trying to be funny with this. But there will not be any punishment, there will not be any admonition. …

“Nothing’s gonna happen to Mr. Nazaryan, and privately he’s gonna be hailed and applauded and feted and celebrated for having the guts to show everybody what Cruz is really all about. Privately, he will receive accolades and pats on the back for having the courage to do this. Because this IS what they think.”

Newsweek’s editor-in-chief, Jim Impoco, issued a statement on the controversy, telling the Washington Examiner: “I would like to express on behalf of Newsweek our disappointment that this occurred and reiterate that this does not align with our editorial values.”

After Nazaryan deleted the Nazi photo and message about Cruz, the writer proffered his own explanation of sorts, saying: “I deleted my tweet calling Ted Cruz a Nazi. Not fair to his totally decent supporters, as much as I dislike the man himself.”

A critic then asked the Newsweek writer, “Explain why you should even keep your job when you clearly are unable behave ethically in your profession.”

“Because part of my job is having opinions,” responded Nazaryan. “One opinion I have is that Ted Cruz would be a very bad president.”

Commenters on Twitter have been pummeling Nazaryan over his brazen opinion, with tweets including:

• And at what point does equating Cruz with Hitler not cross every line of decency?

• “Very bad president” is different than “he’d be just like the guy who murdered all your relatives,” jackass

• “Bad president” in this liberal’s mind is equivalent to murdering millions of people and starting a world war.

• Please explain how Cruz is a Nazi when your party sympathizes and advocates for the destruction of Israel. A–.

• Thinking he’s a Nazi isn’t an opinion. It’s a delusion. Seek psychiatric help

Looks like Cruz and Trump earned another 'badge of honor' from the liberal media. The more nervous the liberal media becomes, the more they attack them.

Huckabee rec'd a lot of flack for tweeting....
"I trust @BernieSanders with my tax dollars like I trust a North Korean chef with my labrador!" the former Arkansas governor tweeted during the debate.

.....that prompted several "racist" tweets. He said North Korea but the stats for South Korea are over 2,000,000 dogs are raised and killed for food in dog farms every year. They are subjected to suffering and deprivation, they are electrocuted, hanged, burned or beaten to death.

Plain and simple, there are over 170,000 dog farms that cruelly kill, skin alive dogs for human consumption in South Korea. Not a big country and that is a lot of animal cruelty. The tweet of mistrust is perfectly understandable. They have no excuse for such behaviour in this 21st century, so the replying tweeters pull the race card in hopes of shutting everyone up @ their backwardness. SE Asians, Vietnam etc also eat dogs & cats.

China, South Korea, Vietnam, whose products we import to America, use cat & dog fur and simply label "fur of unknown origin". UGH boots are what kind of fur? That trim around your gloves or coat? Truth in labeling is essential as well as the country of origin which would be eliminated if TPP passes. Currently, they can get away with "unknown" origin. Products like the Larabar, a "healthy snack" of ground dried fruits & nuts are actually made in china and you will only find the name, address of the USA distributor labeled. Not good!

Same is being said now of leather products - not necessarily from a cow but hides of dogs are used. PETA has a video clip of angorra rabbits in China's factories from hell showing how they "RIP" large swaths of fur off of screaming rabbits and then throw them back in their cages. The rabbits are clearly traumatized unable to eat or drink water for days.
