So are you conceding the point and agreeing that Cruz's line was utter pandering bull(*)(*)(*)(*) and deserved to be booed?

I suppose I might as well concede. You've made some good points.

 

How about false dichotomy?

While I'm sure many members here would love to just lump this group in with some convenient group they like to disparage, this group's aim is the insurance of religious liberty of minorities, particularly Christians in the Middle East. While Israel hasn't been a flagrant enemy to the free exercise of religion, they have been willing to make many exchanges for the sake of peace - to include sacrificing religious freedom to appease certain groups. Just across the border is a country, Jordan, which has been a better defender of religious liberty. So yes, the crowd very much disagreed with Cruz, who didn't "try to hijcak the conference" (he left the stage of his own accord immediately after his controversial statement - he wasn't booed off the stage, he was booed as he left the state - big difference).

But the crowd wasn't representative of "Christians". You'd have known that if you even googled the name of the group.

 

But wasn't he one of your guys?

 

Byrd repented of his involvement with the KKK long before that.

By contrast your hero Clarence Thomas never repented of waiving the Georgia Dixie flag.

 

Don't forget Strom Thurmond....who ran for PRESIDENT on opposing integration in 1948......never repented, never repudiated it...


and eventually found a home in the post-Eisenhower anti-civil rights Republican Party of Nixon and Reagan.

 

couldn't find a living democrat so you used an old Dixiecrat ! LOL

 

BTW, if you don't think Ted Cruz deliberately used that meeting to pander to AIPAC, the "Rapture Ready", and other pro-Likud rightwingers.....

look at all the PRAISE he's getting for "standing up for Israel" from Rightwing Media, for what is supposedly an "embarrassing" moment.

It was a stunt...and a pre-planned one. And Calgary Ted LOVED being boo'ed.

 

Ted Cruz embarrassed by the TRUTH:

Well, it seems Texas Senator Ted Cruz isn’t a fan. Shocking, I know.
While Cruz was discussing the broken promise made by President Obama when he told Americans that they would be able to keep their old health insurance plan (which was “only” true for 95% of Americans), he said:
“There’s a reason PolitiFact — an institution of which I am not a fan — but there is a reason PolitiFact rated that statement the Lie of the Year.”
First, let me point out the irony of Cruz using a site of which he says he’s not a fan – to try to make a point.
But there’s a good reason why Cruz might not be Politifact’s biggest fan - because he lies constantly. Typically I wouldn’t expect serial liars to be the biggest fans of fact-checking organizations.
In fact, Ted Cruz has an absolutely abysmal record on Politifact for telling the truth. Out of the 36 comments they’ve fact-checked on Cruz, an astonishing 67 percent of them have been rated as “Mostly False” all the way down to “Pants on Fire.” And out of all 36 of those comments, only one has been rated as “True.” That lone statement was one he made where he was trying to fear-monger about government regulations being so bad that they regulate toilet seats. I guess he feels that businesses shouldn’t be required to offer restroom facilities that are equipped to accommodate people with disabilities.
Yes, the only 100% true statement Ted Cruz has made out of the 36 that have been fact-checked by Politifact was about toilet seats.



Even if you go to his five “Mostly True” statements, three of them go all the way back to his campaign against fellow Republican David Dewhurst when he was attempting to secure the GOP nomination in 2011.
So if you take those out, Politifact has found that he’s only made three “True” or “Mostly True” statements since he’s become a United States senator, out of all of those that they’ve fact-checked.
The rest have been rated as “Half True” or worse.
So it shouldn’t be at all shocking that Ted Cruz isn’t a fan of Politifact. Because I don’t think anyone would expect a serial liar to be a fan of a fact-checking website that’s constantly exposing their lies.






CRUZ-COULTER IN 2016!

 

crazy Cruz:
