That National Enquirer Ted Cruz "bombshell" confirmed a huge nothingburger
Twitter ^ | 2/24/2016 | Some guy who took a picture

Posted on 03/24/2016 3:53:37 PM PDT by 20yearsofinternet

Link goes directly to picture of the article that's good enough to read.

FULL Disclosure: I'm not a Cruz supporter, but I hate this kind of sleaze and I'm hoping that we can put this to rest before it gets submitted 500 times.

The entire article is based off of the threat from a hoax "Anonymous" account on Twitter, which later turned out to be a RickRoll (all related tweets have since been deleted). I am pretty sure the "details" are actually lifted from replies to the original tweet, LOL. Since they're deleted, I can't be sure. Point being, it was all a hoax and there's nothing there at all, and that's what the article is based off of.

Anyway, just wanted to put it out there that it's typical NE trash, not one of their once-per-decade real bombshells.

Carry on with the War of the Wives. :)

“...Also there’s a news article about how the press was duped.”
***************************************************************************
There’s a lot of frenzied duping going on in FR on this. I put it down to the current rise in Trump’s “unfavorables” from 59% to 65%.

Bubba, have you been at work duping the press in addition to your frenzied attempts to dupe here?

Anytime my FRiend.

I am just fascinated by how Twitter can be used to manipulate the news cycle in this day and age. It’s almost like the MSM doesn’t need to even float this story right now, the word is already out there to those that use Twitter.

Are you going to cease your constant stream of BOGUS posts now and apologize to your fellow FReepers who you attempted to dupe?

#TheThing

Media trying to get someone to publish it back in February before Super Tuesday so Rubio could take out Trump.

Which means both Romney and Ryan knew.

lol I’ll tell you what, I’ll stick to what has been posted, and you stick to your guns, and by Easter Sunday we’ll see what turns up.

I’m not quite savvy enough to dupe anyone, but I appreciate the vote of confidence that I could.

If I were you, I’d head over to Breitbart, CTH or Twitter and see what’s going on.

If only I had the power to create 170k posts in several hours I would do more than try and influence some knucklehead on a website.

..ahh! which is why the establishment types have been having secret meetings this week, sending Ryan and others out to make bizarre comments, and why Romney was at a GOP fundraiser Tuesday night openly putting his own name out there for the convention delegates.

THIS is why they knew Cruz would not be there...and why they plotted to do 100 days of attacks on Trump.

They let Cruz suck up to them entirely, knowing he’d be gone.

-- That Be the Fake one....It looks good doesn't it? --

Uses same portrait/avatar even. Use of capital "I" in place of a lower case "L" is an easily overlooked substitution. You could start a new one, O'ReiIly Factor (move the substituted "I").

-- Why go to all the bother? --

Cheap thrills. On par with the press and the politicians, passing half truth and falsehood onto a gullible public.

And Scott Walker saying the nominee would not be someone in the race. Jeb! endorsing.

They all knew...

Hush money paid to Carla Forini’s campaign manager.
I’m sure the IRS would like to look into that some more.

He never would passed a high level security clearance.
The sickness that rots in our country.

Let the light shine on in.

Are you going to cease your constant stream of BOGUS posts now and apologize to your fellow FReepers who you attempted to dupe? (is what you wrote to bubbagumpshrimp)

It was I who posted the tweets in question and did so in good faith. There was no attempt to dupe anyone, only to notice and post the fevered activity on twitter with more than 120K posts in tha matter of a few hours. The topic is trending worldwide right now at number two topic on twitter. That in itself is newsworthy.

While I admit I was fooled by the alleged tweets by various personalities, Breitbart reporters are tweeting that they had the story and it was pulled.
The O’Reilly tweet was a fake...the Congressman from Georgia was a fake...(but accurate!)

I am sorry that perhaps your candidate is going down in flames. Its the way it goes sometimes. Tomorrow Ted will be out there with his wife and decide to take some time off to be with the family....Gloria Allred will have some broad at her side with a kleenex at her eyes and Oprah will be warming up the couch.

Tomorrow on Glenn Beck—it will be a best of program and sometime Sunday night Beck will be found in an alley curled up with a bottle of Jim Beam sucking his thumb.

In a week Beck will be back on his show touting Kasich as the one we have been waiting for...He’s the real deal you know...Yeb!, Neil and all the moneymen will be beating tracks to Ohio to find the reclusive son of a Mail-man...I can see the ads now...

Election and appointment override the nornmal security clearance process and rules. "Too big to jail," those people are royalty, and the normal rules do not apply to them.

Yes Scott Walker too!

Now why would the Bush family sign on with Cruz? Neil, then Jeb?

Interesting question!

I wonder if this explains why Rubio wouldn’t hop on the Cruz bandwagon?

I once had a run-in with what looked to be a homeless guy, wearing a cap with CIA on it. Turns out he was actually a guy that did part-time security, and when I ignored his numerous inquiries (parked in my hotel parking lot talking on the phone) he called the cops on me. He even flashed a business card that had CIA on it. (I still ignored him).

I explained it to the cops and asked - “So how does this guy get off wearing a CIA cap!?”

They laughed. “Oh. It’s his initials. Charles L. Anderson!”
