NY Times and WaPo think Latin GOP Senator Cruz should be quiet, NYT suggests he be quiet 'for years.' They didn't complain when Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Schumer were uppity early. Mrs. Clinton even said she was 'sick and tired' of people saying you shouldn't speak up

2/16/13, "Times,' 'WaPo' Launch Racially-Coded Attack Against Ted Cruz,'" John Nolte, Breitbart

"Apparently, the "Washington Post" and "New York Times" don't like the idea of a non-white U.S. Senator acting all uppity. It's fine for the lily-white Elizabeth Warren to immediately come out guns blazing, but over the past couple of days both news outlets ripped into in Texas Senator Ted Cruz for not knowing his place. 

As we all know, the base of the Democratic Party is made up of union workers, who see Hispanics as a threat to their jobs, and rich, white, coastal liberals whose only contact with the Latino community is on grass-mowing day. And so, in what can only be interpreted as a racially-coded dog-whistle attack designed to appeal to the worst instincts of the Democratic base, the "Post" and "Times" have come together hoping to put an Hispanic back "in his place."

New York Times:

"In just two months, Mr. Cruz, 42, has made his presence felt in an institution where new arrivals are usually not heard from for months, if not years. Besides suggesting that Mr. Hagel might have received compensation from foreign enemies, he has tangled with the mayor of Chicago, challenged the Senate’s third-ranking Democrat on national television, voted against virtually everything before him — including the confirmation of John Kerry as secretary of state — and raised the hackles of colleagues from both parties."

Washington Post: 

"The traditional stance for a freshman senator is to hold back a bit. Being reticent and deferential are not qualities that come naturally to those who manage to win Senate seats, but most new senators choose, as much as it clashes with their instincts, to tamp down. Not Cruz." 

Anyone remember Hillary Clinton or Chuck Schumer as freshman senate wallflowers? Anyone remember the "Times" and "Post" coordinating to shut those two white senators up?

Yeah, me neither.

What we have here are two predominantly white news outlets made uncomfortable by someone who doesn't look like them acting all uppity. I had hoped we were past such things, but apparently not. Hey, these are the media's rules, not mine."

==================== 

"In 2003, Hillary Clinton screeched "I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration."

-------------------------------------------

Ed. note: Ted Cruz' gravitas may bother them a bit. His resume includes:

"Princeton debating champion,  

Harvard Law School graduate, 

law clerk to the late Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist and 

Texas solicitor general."... 

2/14/13, "Ted Cruz, making quite an entrance," Washington Post, Ruth Marcus, opinion

----------------------------------

(Tom Brokaw was happy to elect Obama US president knowing nothing about him except that he was a Harvard Law School graduate).

==================== 

Also, WaPo knows Cruz beat their pals the GOP establishment:

"Cruz was elected by the people of Texas, who knew what they were getting when they picked him over Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, the choice of the GOP establishment. That’s democracy."...
