EXCLUSIVE: Cruz defends Huckabee, accuses Obama of 'gutter politics'
Fox News' Todd's American Dispatch ^ | July 27, 2015 | Todd Starnes

Posted on 07/27/2015 4:16:09 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

President Obama and Jeb Bush have drawn the ire of Sen. Ted Cruz after they attacked Gov. Mike Huckabee for his comments about the Iran nuclear deal.

Huckabee said the president’s Iran policy would “take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.”

The president bristled at what he called a “ridiculous” comment.

“The particular comments of Mr. Huckabee are just part of a general pattern we’ve seen that would be considered ridiculous if it weren’t so sad,” he said.

“We’ve had a sitting senator call John Kerry Pontius Pilate. We’ve had a sitting senator, who also happens to be running for president, suggest that I’m the leading state sponsor of terrorism. These are leaders in the Republican Party.”

Cruz rebuffed the president’s slap and said it was “particularly sad today that President Obama chose to engage in gutter politics – attacking Mike Huckabee by name, attacking me – both of us for standing up against this catastrophic deal – rather than defending the merits.”(continued)

The Iran Deal is like putting the Jews in the Ovens...and Barack Obama is like Adolf Eichmann (efficiently following orders), and Mitch McConnell is like Vidkun Quisling.

I'm surprised to see Huckabee among the fighters.

But we'll take all the help we can get as it is sorely needed.

We have a sitting POTUS that accused his political opponents of making him “choose between sick kids and poor kids” during a shut down fight.

Yet no presstitutes can be bothered to compile a list of hte vile insults he has hurled over the years. Typical, as the kenyan would say.

The Iran Deal is not like putting the Jews in the Ovens...

It’s like putting all of us in the ovens.

The term “sold down the river” takes on
a whole new meaning with this so called
agreement in which the Iranians get everything
and we get nothing but the prospect of more
terrorism and nuclear terrorism to boot.

Sour Kraut, as expected, was horrified that Huckabee went there. This reminds me of what happened during the Holocaust in American-Jewish politics as outlined in the novel and film “The Chosen.”

yes, Obama has been trying to kill off the Joos for his entire terms of office
nothing new there
but
this socalled ‘deal’ threatens to destroy USA first....

concern for Israel and others in the Mideast is entirely justified, but USA remains Iran’s ‘Great Satan’ and Iran doesn’t need all the ICBM’s its amassing to attack Israel or the Arab countries...... those ICBM’s (capable of carrying the new nuclear bombs Obama/Kerry have been enabling Iran to acquire)....are only for longer-range strike purposes....

I am proud some American politicians are speaking up for Israel..... good for them!..... good good good....very good..... but I wish we’d hear more American politicos also speaking up to defend USA....too. We remain Iran’s number one target...

Now Iran will have 10’s of billions to finance Islamic terrorism all over the world. The bomb is just whipped cream on the sundae. Obama gets his wishes fulfilled.

Awesome formation of a government before an election. They know they cannot all win and perhaps they will help each other.

Ted Cruz is a man that has shown that he has the gonads to lead and doesn’t fear not being liked. In other words, he is a leader and not a liker.

““The particular comments of Mr. Huckabee are just part of a general pattern we’ve seen that would be considered ridiculous if it weren’t so sad,” he said.”

I heard this quote from JugEars on the drive home. The transcription above leaves out dozens of “ahs”, “uhs”, and very long pauses. It was clear no teleprompter was available and the Village Idiot had to wing it.

Cruz is a stand up guy all the way around. Good for the HUCK as well.

Israel fights off rocket attacks on a daily basis. Obama is fat and happy and has no idea what it is like to fend off such daily life threatening assaults. It is amazing how Obama thinks he should decide the fate of 6 million Jews when he himself will be in no danger.

Obama is very dangerous and can be argued that his policies have gotten hundreds of thousands of people killed.
