There are quite a few rumors floating around in social media about Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz.
Americans are used to the mainstream media lying about Ted Cruz (see here, here & here for just some examples.) But it is particularly painful when the lies come from supposed truth-tellers. The largest culprits starting and perpetuating anti-Cruz falsehoods are sundance of the Conservative Treehouse and Dianne Marshall of the Marshall Report. They blatantly lie, or tell cherry-picked half truths, which are promptly disseminated in social media by an army of bullies who are seemingly not interested in civil debate.
Why create false stories if the candidate is so bad?
The clearly coordinated effort is particularly disturbing because: 1.) it frankly smashes conventional wisdom that ad hominem baseless attacks are the tool of the left not the principled right, and 2.) the social media bullies may serve to intimidate people from posting positive stories or opinions about Ted Cruz.
Here are some of the most persistent lies, myths and rumors about Ted Cruz:
FAKE!! Ted Cruz stole the Iowa Caucus

I’m not into idolatry either. I think he is genuinely sincere, otherwise, I would not be supporting him.
Here's a suggestion for you, then. Don't start up conversations in order to insult and attack those you disagree with.... and you won't get your ass handed to you for showing the usual name-calling, insults and projection idiocy. Or is that too simple a solution?
I imagine that would take a leap of faith. Because aside from a few common rhetorical themes there’s very little in his past that would indicate that he will do as president what he’s promising to do. IMO
You can imagine whatever you desire. I don’t rely on your approval.
“Think about it, Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin are now the enemy, and Sundance and Camile Paglia on Salon are righteous icons. What the hell is happening here?”
Excellent point. Dissent will not be tolerated by some. Fine if that makes them feel more secure, though it is like the left to try to scream loudly enough to shut down debate. But no reason to be nasty about it as well.
This kind of unnecessary aversion is typical from you Trump folks. Its as if your icon has set you free to be as obnoxious as he is.
There is well documented proof of Donald's love of this country that has been so good to him. Pure and simple for my belief he is sincere.
you mean like ben carson?
Oh, wait, thats the other guy...
It clarified him as a US citizen BY BIRTH. Read carefully and you will find no assertion that any such clarification was 'needed'. But, considering all the crap people seem to believe about natural born citizenship, a clarification was certainly useful.
With your loose interpretation an anchor baby is a natural born citizen. That is not the case either. They are citizens by virtue of the manipulation of the 14th Amendment to bring Jus Soli to be interpreted as the law, though that was certainly not the intent of the 14th Amendment.
Apparently there was such a need, for here you are questioning Ted Cruz's natural born citizenship.
With your loose interpretation an anchor baby is a natural born citizen.
Now you are just making things up. That is NOT my position, in fact it is the opposite of my position. But it happens to be the position adopted by a series of very bad court decisions that need action to correct.
Ted’s father was a Canadian citizen. His mother was on the Canadian voter rolls. This is not a natural born citizen.
You have your facts wrong. Once you get your facts right, you can start working on your reasoning.
Well one thing is for certain, one of us have their facts wrong, but it isn’t me.
Ted Cruz used a sleazy personalized Shaming Mailers in Iowa TRUE!
