Cruz Throws Back Gay Question To Reporter: "Do You Have A Personal Animosity Against Christians?"
RealClearPolitics Video ^ | May 20, 2015

Posted on 05/21/2015 10:32:15 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz made a campaign stop in Beaumont, TX on Tuesday, May 19. He was asked repeatedly by Kevin Steele from KMBT-TV about the issue of gay marriage, to which Cruz responds by turning the tables. (via Joe Walsh)

SEN. TED CRUZ: Let me ask a question: Is there something about the left, and I am going to put the media in this category, that is obsessed with sex? Why is it the only question you want to ask concerns homosexuals? Okay, you can ask those questions over and over and over again. I recognize that you're reading questions from MSNBC...

You're wincing. You don't want to talk about foreign policy. I recognize you want to ask another question about gay rights. Well, you know. ISIS is executing homosexuals. You want to talk about gay rights? This week was a very bad week for gay rights because the expansion of ISIS, the expansion of radical, theocratic, Islamic zealots that crucify Christians, that behead children and that murder homosexuals. That ought to be concerning you far more than asking six questions all on the same topic.

REPORTER: Do you have a personal animosity against gay Americans?

CRUZ: Do you have a personal animosity against Christians sir?[continued]

Love it so much. He redirects the issue to the proper application of Constitutional law. Brilliant.

A better term is staurophobe; the term is derived from “stauron” (Greek for “cross”) and “phobos” (an irrational fear).

Simply put, staurophobia is pathological fear/hatred of the Cross and especially of Him Who it represents.

One wonders why other Conservatives have not taken the same tact in the past.

In pretty short order, they will all pretend to be "just like Ted Cruz".

“Rush is playing this right now. He says THIS is how a candidate should do it.”

thanks for letting us know. I sure wish Rush would break his rule and endorse Cruz during the primaries. We have to make sure he IS the candidate.

If Cruz could convince the American Pink Mafia to turn on ISIS everywhere, that would be productive. Islamos wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.

"One wonders why other Conservatives have not taken the same tact in the past. "

Because, for the first time since Reagan, we have a candidate that puts every fiber of his being toward his goal.

And, most importantly, he obviously, speaks from the heart....can't go wrong doing that.

Yes, Rush needs to get off the fence.

If he can successfully field questions from justices on SCOTUS, brushing off bonehead reporters’ questions should be a piece of cake.

Ted is the best at parrying the leftist MSM since Newt Gingrich imho. But to answer the Senators’ question: yes Ted, the Commie bass turd hates Christians.

I even saw Ted Baxter raise his fist in the air and say, "Way to go, Cruz!" (or something close to it).

Love Cruz. We've been waiting such a long time for a candidate like him!

Bump!

The twerp with his 'gotcha' line of questions got his posterior handed to him, and ended up looking like a moron.

This is how you do it. The liberal media are not your friends. Treat them like what they are- part of the democrat apparatus.
