“Skeezy huckster,” Joan? Fascinating words to attack Hispanic conservative Sen. Ted Cruz.
"SKEE-ZY (adj.) — Shabby, dirty, and vulgar; tawdry." Do you describe all Hiispanics this way, @joanwalsh? #Hurtful #DogWhistle

Excuse us! As the author of “What’s the Matter with White People?” and a self-appointed expert on “how not to seem like a racist,” Salon’s Joan Walsh knows dog whistles, and this, sir, is no dog whistle. Unless, of course, you want to hold her to her own race-card toting standards.
@joanwalsh If a political analyst at Fox called Obama "skeezy" it would be fair & not racist, right? Can't keep up w/ the double standards.

In that case, hey, looks like we’ve got an entry in the Handbook of Racial Code Words.
Let me use progressive logic: is this some sort of slur? https://t.co/GY3hBhgosO

Time for all you people (yes, raaaaacist!) to break out your racial decoder rings! Does Joan Walsh’s “ugly racial paranoia” know no bounds?
It's sad how much @joanwalsh despises Hispanics. Some white folk just don't get how hurtful their words can be. #DogWhistle

Should we ask @joanwalsh if "skeezy huckster" is code for "Hispanic?" Like how she said "foodstamps" is code for "Black American?"

I guess we should have suspected that pasty-white @joanwalsh was a raging racist. I’m so disappointed. Such ugliness. #Noh8

I wonder if @joanwalsh realizes just how raaaaacist her calling Ted Cruz a "skeezy huckster" is. Where's your White Guilt, Joan?
— CatsPolitics (@CatsPolitics) May 24, 2013
I bet @joanwalsh claims some of her "best friends are Hispanics." This is common among whites of her generation.

Who knew @joanwalsh was a raging racist against Hispanics? I, for one, am shocked! SHOCKED. #racistjoan

"Skeezy huckster" = free thinking Hispanic, in the @joanwalsh dictionary of racist observations. h/t @MikeKralis

There’s only one explanation for @joanwalsh’s animosity towards Ted Cruz. She’s racist. #leftyrules #racistleftists

Update:
Walsh responds:
Oh, and to those who found "skeezy huckster" racist: Can you say "projection"? http://t.co/19SGtpYq96 via @Salon
— Joan Walsh (@joanwalsh) May 24, 2013
El. Oh. El.
You guys, @joanwalsh's unfounded fear of Hispanic men proves that the right is racist. #QED
