John Cassidy is a columnist for The New Yorker who enjoys writing ad hominem attack pieces on Republican candidates, fear mongering, and resembling Nigel Thornberry. Twitchy recently reported on his embarrassing screed about Scott Walker which asked readers to “stipulate up front that Scott Walker, the governor of Wisconsin, is an odious politician whose ascension to the Presidency would be a disaster.” Cassidy personifies the untruth that left wing progressives are open minded.
This week he called Ted Cruz—the son of a Cuban immigrant—”uppity.” Had any right-of-center commentator used that word to describe a Democrat of minority ethnicity, MSNBC would already be presuming his membership in the KKK.
Wait, isn't "uppity" some sort of code word? http://t.co/ZhgE6XGSix

By the way, did you guys miss the @NewYorker calling a Latino U.S. Senator "uppity"? http://t.co/MsDBb8qmGQ pic.twitter.com/bsXl1MlOTA

@CounterMoonbat @KemberleeKaye @NewYorker that's bad, but apparently railing against Obama and denying climate change make you beyond pale.

@CounterMoonbat If "uppity" means a man who spoke flawlessly for 16 hours, not 16 minutes, WITHOUT a TelePrompTer… Then, yeah. @exjon

They are practically telling him to get back to picking melons. @CounterMoonbat @NewYorker calling a Latino U.S. Senator "uppity"?

@CounterMoonbat @NewYorker God i haven't heard that slur in decades. Must be making a comeback in the liberal elite.

When a columnist calls a candidate an “uppity loudmouth,“ it’s fair to say he’s not interested in offering analysis. http://t.co/uJXz8oc31R

Arguably you could come to that same conclusion just from the fact that the columnist is writing for The New Yorker.
