Here’s an interesting round up of MSNBC’s absurd coverage of Ted Cruz where they all say he’s the new Joe McCarthy, even to the point they are comparing his photo and his hair. Seriously.

Ted Cruz sure has a lot to learn especially when one of his fellow republicans has to shun his behavior. It just absolutely proves how ignorant he is.

He didn't go to the senate to represent the republican party, he went there to represent the state of Texas. And with this group of cowardly republicans (for the most part) being shunned means you're probably doing something right.

You know what is really sad? After the USSR fell and the public was able to look into some of the KGB files, it turns out that McCarthy was right, the Gov't was infiltrated by communists.

I don't have finely-tuned gaydar but I'm starting to suspect Rachel Madcow is a dyke.

Hmmm.... How about Rachel "Mancow" Madcow? :-)

And who does MADCow look like? The NBC studios got their orders to destroy Cruz, the Chicago way.

Everyone's already said it, but I couldn't get on a computer today...Joe McCarthy was an American hero, I would gladly take that as a compliment if I was Ted Cruz.

If he starts rounding up liberals, he's got my vote! In fact, I'll join his campaign and name my next child after him if he does.

Not sure about the point Mad Cow is making. Our government is full of commies and McCarthy was right. Can you say Van Jones Mr. Mad Cow?

Love Ted Cruz.

Loved Joe McCarthy too. We need such a watchdog today.

Many of our elected officials need to be removed for corruption and treason because of their unconstitutional actions and beliefs. Just listening to them is nauseating and their ideas are hazardous to our nation.

Rachel mad cow...

Ted Cruz is a rock star... how do we know? By all the screaming of his enemies.

Pray for Ted Cruz... we all saw what happened to Allen West when he made a stand and spoke the truth.

May God bless and keep you Mr. Cruz.

AND YOU KNOW RIGHT? McCarthy was on the right track! Now that people didn't take him serious, the Fabian Socialists (Marxists) opened up shop in the US, communism and nazism even reigned and prospered at certain times in the US. Now we have this mess - 'cause everyone wanted to jump political and not look at many facts.

We need many more McCarthys and two less Matthews and Maddows.

I think MSNBC look's like an SNL version of the Howdy Doody Show. No offense to Howdy.

LOL what loons and the ending with Sharpton at least gave me a laugh after all the previous cr*p. (Thanks Scoop.)

This might help word get out, the more the Left screams McCarty, the more the Right should hold up the Venona project files.

And the sad thing here is that McCarty was RIGHT. So being called a "McCarthy" should actually be considered a compliment :P

The commies are trying to scare us with McCarthyism.

REALLY?!

Sorry Madcow but it's not working especially since the left has been practicing McCarthyism all along...case in point: Saying Cruz looks like McCarthy...and that is just for starters.

And what was that you guys did to Zimmerman?!

Jackalopes

Just as I suspected: no mention that McCarthy was actually right.

I am starting to believe that Joe McCarthy was right all along.

You might enjoy reading "Blacklisted by History". I think McCarthy was the first highly successful smear the Dems accomplished and they've managed to stay drunk on that formula ever since. Any time a charismatic person with wit, intelligence and morals rears their head, they all belly up to the bar to restock their scurrilous attack weapons.

The pity is that I think the Republicans have been wimps ever since McCarthy ... it's time that someone like Cruz blew the lid right off their traitorous schemes.

This is another example of the Left over-reaching, over-reacting.

Comparing Ted Cruz to McCarthy may make the lefties shudder, but this comparison is like dropping a nuclear bomb to crack a nut. It's far too early, after the few weeks Ted Cruz has been in Washington, but it shows clearly that they recognise in him one of the greatest dangers to their 'project'.

Also, they don't see the trap which they've made for themselves, but sadly there are no Republicans who will push them into that trap: Cruz is a Hispanic - so they are manifestly racist. Who is calling them out?

One other thing they've overlooked, in their pride of being 'the elite' who 'makes' people. Unlike the Left, conservatives learn from their mistakes and don't go on doing the same thing all over because it seemed to have worked the first time.

They haven't learned that the way they treated Sarah Palin has not given them a victory, but has unleashed a force they still don't understand.

Ted Cruz cannot be Palinised, they cannot mark him down as dumb because he's in fact academically and professionally way better than their adored Liar-in-Chief ever was.

So they use the big McCarthy hammer.

We should ask them 'is that all you've got?', and laugh, and ridicule them for their childishness.

Well I think they all at MSNBC look and act like Maxist! So if it looks like a duck and acts like a duck then its probably a duck! Sen. Cruz was questioning Hagel where an overwhelming amount of evidence shows that Hagel is sympathetic to terroist which is just the mirror image of communist. Sen. Cruz was also right about communist being at Harvard and their goal is to overthrow the US Government. But we all know that communist are at Columbia, Princton, Yale, Cornell and Wellesley College, college where Hilary Clinton attended college, hint she wrote a paper praising Saul Alinsky. So, Joe McCarthy was right, we do have communist at the highest levels of government and we are seeing that play out right now with Obama as President. Does anyone ever wonder why are these people are so ashame of being called communist? I mean I thought Obama made being a communist cool!

What happened to Sharpton? Did he do the Al Roaker or something?

Alright, MSNBC, you nailed it. And Axelrod looks like Stalin. And Chris Matthews like Adolf Hitler on vacation.

Lord have mercy! I wish I had have paid more attention to the "round up" part.

Yeah, they could be twins. I'm too young to have been around during McCarthy, but if I were Cruz, I'd wear this as a badge of honor.

madcow kills me. she ought to know all about outlandish scandalous allegations. ditz.

Believe it or not, I remember the McCarthy hearings on TV. Look how far TV has fallen.

I've seen some video and read some, but not much. What bit I know, I wish we had a few more McCarthy's now! Yeah, I might not have been around for those, but tv has fallen pitifully.

Moreover, since Ted Cruz father, Rahael Cruz, left Cuba and fled Communism if anyone knows what Communism looks like it would be Ted Cruz, right?!

Hey, thanks for that link! I really enjoyed hearing the perspective from a citizen who really knows what is at stake here. I can see why Ted was solidly principled from the the get go. A man born for this time.

Isn't that refreshing to know that Sen. Cruz breaths what we breath!
