Washington Post Hits Ted Cruz With 12 'Birther' Stories In Two Days

Breitbart ^ | 8/21/13 | John Nolte

[Lakeshark]

Let's see how many people show up to defend the discord libs want to sow in the conservative base. Make no mistake, the libs are trying to take Cruz out early, and they think the birthers will help them do the deed.

[Lakeshark]

Is this going to be the mother of all birther threads?

[0.E.O]

...and they think the birthers will help them do the deed.

Many of them already are. Look at the threads around here on the subject.

[cotton1706]

One word: Alinsky.

[TitansAFC]

Yup.

They’re just mocking Conservatives, that’s all. Reminding us that they control the narrative (sadly).

[Vaduz]

No legal question as to Cruz’s eligibility but questions about Obama’s the two faced media is mum.

[albie]

All we want to know about BO is what his grades were and after 5 years, we still don’t know.

[TitansAFC]

Yup.

They’re just mocking Conservatives, that’s all. Reminding us that they control the narrative (sadly).

[Lakeshark]

I’ve seen it, it’s quite a sight to watch.

[Tennessee Nana]

I wish Ted had been born on US soil..

I haven't heard a word about Cruz's faith. He was raised Southern Baptist, but has roots in Catholicism.

That always works to throw the religious base into a tizzy.

[cripplecreek]

I’m a birther and I’ll vote for him based on the fact that he’s a better constitutionalist than 95% of the country.

[kevkrom]

I wish Ted had been born on US soil..

Wouldn't have made a lick of good - the same people would still call him ineligible due to his father not being a citizen.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Let’s take account, shall we?

(A) Obama’s father was not a citizen of Kenya at the time he was born, ostensibly on American soil. Consetrvatives across American point to this as an issue of his ineligibility.

(B) Cruz’s father was a Cuban citizen at the time he was born on Canadian soil. Conservatives point to his mother’s citizenship as proof of his status as an “natual born citizen”

Nah....there’s no disconnect along ideological lines in this argument.

[JohnnyP]

Cruz is not an NBC. Must be of two citizen parents on US soil. Learned that in 4th grade in 1957.

[Lakeshark]

I doubt the religious base will have any problem with Cruz. I do think leftists and evangelical atheists will hate him with a passion.

[alancarp]

If the ‘natural born citizen’ phrase has been retroactively redefined/twisted sufficiently for Obama (apparently including changes to laws that we weren’t aware of), then Cruz’ situation isn’t even an interesting question.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Ooops...errata on point (A)

Obama’s father was a citizen of Kenya (My OP says “was NOT a citizen”).

Well phrased.......but I think some of the wind is gone from the pharisaical sails. They are struggling with original intent, and how it clashes with their hyper technicality.....

All we want to know about BO is what his grades were and after 5 years, we still don’t know.

When all your student paper Work has a different name and says you are Indonesian, you don’t want it to be public...
