Ass-hat extraordinaire of the week
Cruz is an embarrassment....this is what happens when you elect a Senator who gets his ideology from Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck...
Ted Cruz's 'curious' defense
We talked Friday about Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) affinity for McCarthyism, including allegations he made at a far-right event in 2010, when he argued that Harvard Law School harbored 12 secret communists -- each of whom supported "overthrowing the United States government" -- on its faculty during his time as a student there.
As the story gained attention, the Republican senator's office felt compelled to respond. So, Cruz aides contacted a website created by Glenn Beck -- I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried -- to explain that Cruz was correct and communists really did enjoy a role on the Harvard Law School faculty.
His spokeswoman Catherine Frazier told The Blaze website that the "substantive point" in Cruz's charge, made in a speech in 2010, was "was absolutely correct."
She went on to explain that "the Harvard Law School faculty included numerous self-described proponents of 'critical legal studies' -- a school of thought explicitly derived from Marxism -- and they far outnumbered Republicans."
For those who still care about reality, it's worth noting that some scholars can embrace critical legal studies without actually being a communist intent on, in Cruz's words, "overthrowing the United States government."
