No, Ted Cruz did not blame Donald Trump for #BrusselsAttacks
Trevor Loudon's New Zeal Blog ^ | 3-22-2016 | renee nal

Posted on 03/22/2016 5:57:46 PM PDT by Citizen Zed

In the wake of the attacks in Brussels, Ted Cruz said in part:

“Donald Trump is wrong that America should withdraw from the world and abandon our allies. Donald Trump is wrong that American should retreat from Europe, retreat from NATO, hand Putin a major victory and while he’s at it hand ISIS a major victory.”

Trumpsters, of course, took Cruz’s comments as a personal insult to Trump, saying that Cruz “blamed” Trump for the Islamic terror attack in Brussels.

Pro-Putin conspiracy theorists InfoWars posted a video quoting Cruz saying “It is striking that the day after Donald Trump called for weakening NATO, withdrawing from NATO, we see Brussels, where NATO is headquartered, the subject of a radical Islamic terror attack.”

The video left out the rest of Cruz’s quote stating that Trump is “wrong that American should retreat from Europe, retreat from NATO, hand Putin a major victory and while he’s at it hand ISIS a major victory.”

This is the biggest lie I’ve seen yet on Free Republic.

No sane or rational person can listen to what Cruz said and take away from it that he blamed Trump for the Belgium attack.

It is so far beyond the pale it is lower than most Democrat attacks. Not because Democrats are more moral, but because even they recognize when saying something destroys their own credibility.

But the Cruz haters here throw away all logic, reason, common sense, honesty, integrity, and morality.

Even back in the days when the evolutionists wanted to make this forum the place to beat their dead horse, I never saw the kind of nastiness I see right now. I have to believe many of these guys are plants by Planned Parenthood and NARAL. There just isn’t an honest bone in their body.

They will repeat these nasty, Goebbels style lies like they did so many others. But this one is by far the worst, most obvious lie I have seen so far.

The anti-Cruzers here are more filthy, disgusting, vile, dishonest, and nasty than anything on the DU. At least over there, they admit to being enemies of conservatism. Here they just play the role of Benedict Arnold.

They belong in the same category with Planned Parenthood, NARAL, GLAAD, ACLU, ADL, ACORN, and the endless list of enemies of conservatism.

Actually there are many who used to believe Cruz and no longer do; he makes a habit of things like this.

I’m not on medication and do not need to be. But if I SOUND like I’m ranting, it is only because I AM RANTING.

And it is NOT a sign of insanity. It is what a sane person does in an insane world.

Otherwise I could RELAX and stay CALM like you, because it is okay to people like you that babies are murdered by the millions. It is okay with people like you, when a woman was thrown in JAIL because she refused to issue marriage licenses to homosexual couples. It is okay with people like you that multiple business owners have been ordered by courts to pay massive fines for refusing to participate in such ceremonies. It is okay with people like you baby body parts are being sold, and the investigative journalists who exposed this were charged with a crime rather than the baby killers. It is okay with people like you that the Democrats AND the Republicans renewed the funding of Billions of tax dollars for these murderers. It is okay with people like you that the leading REPUBLICAN presidential candidate called these same people “wonderful”.

Maybe you disagree with these things. Maybe you don’t. But at least you are CALM about it. Maybe you should quit taking your meds. Because they have taken away your manhood.

That’s getting right up to the line.

Nah. Thinking is obviously NOT your strong suit. You emote.

What kind of sick minded individual thinks aborted baby body parts being sold is something to laugh out loud about?

When you have your own forum, I will be happy to go away from it, or stay away from it rather.

But since this one is NOT yours, feel free to mind your own business. Mine is not it.

Wow! I hadn’t seen that quote before!

He thinks we kill journos as Putin does?!

Maybe he’s referring to Breitbart and Michael Hastings, who I believe were both murdered, or Danny Casolaro?

Regardless, we’re nowhere near being as tyrannical as Putin, and for Trump to admire him makes me question his awareness!

I’m a Trump supporter, but this really takes me aback!

I’m a Trump supporter,mostly, and I gotta say, you are really slurring me calling me a DU supporter from Planned Parenthood!

Cruz DID subtly say that if Trump’s (alleged plan to disengage from NATO) were followed, that more attacks of these sorts may follow.

I suggest you dampen down the histrionics...

Why did Cruz mention Trump in his statement?

Because Cruz can't open his mouth without lyin' about Trump.

“I’m a Trump supporter,mostly, and I gotta say, you are really slurring me calling me a DU supporter from Planned Parenthood!”

I support Trump too. Welcome to the club. I just happen to prefer Cruz a little more.

What I do not support is the continuous lying and nastiness of the anti-Cruz crowd here. Many of them signed up in the past year and have done almost nothing but post attacks on Cruz. Why?

I have criticisms of Trump and Cruz, but they are the two best candidates in the race.

Supporting one over the other does not warrant the kind of nasty, lying attacks that are going on here.

Supporting Trump does not make you or any other supporter in the same camp as Planned Parenthood and NARAL, but slandering and lying about Cruz continuously, even when the attacks have been exposed as wrong, is no different than attacks of the left. They HATE Cruz. Why do Trump supporters feel the need to attack the most conservative candidate in the race? Maybe because they are merely fiscal conservatives who do not care about babies being murdered, and Christians being fined and jailed for their beliefs.

The fact that the idea of being associated with this offends you means you are probably not the guilty party. But I have said similar things for months now, and most of the Cruz attackers do not bother to argue how they are against abortion or homosexual marriage. They simply ignore this and change the subject.

Keep in mind that Planned Parenthood actually spends money on political campaigns. How much is being used to target people like Ted Cruz who has a 0% NARAL rating? How many people on Free Republic are PAID to post negative stuff about Cruz? How much of this money comes from Planned Parenthood? If you think there is no one posting on this forum on behalf of Planned Parenthood, you are naive. They know about Free Republic. They know about Ted Cruz.

Yeah. There really are vile, disgusting filth on this forum who are full of lies and hypocrisy. They pretend to be conservative Christians, but they KNOW they are as far away from these things as you can get. Some day they will stand before Almighty God and answer for this. They think the abortion and homosexual issues are funny. When they answer to God, they will not be laughing.

There are people here promoting the idea that Cruz is part of a Christian conspiracy to take over the world for Jesus. That is as nutty as believing alien lizard people are taking over, and probably less plausible. But the abortionists and homosexual activists truly ARE conspiring to deprive conservatives and Christians their rights. They truly are doing things that are almost too incredible to be believed except for the evidence that proves it. It is true they murder millions of babies. It is true they sell their body parts. It is true they get billions of tax dollars. It is true that the politicians are bought and paid for by them. It is true they spend millions supporting liberal candidates and opposing conservative ones. Do you think they have any morals that prevent them from pretending to be Christians or conservatives on a forum like this to push their agenda?

He linked the two, when he should have kept his mouth shut and backed out of campaign mode while the bodies were still warm. There was a time and place for his comments. Cruz just chose the wrong one. Period.

OK. But do you think that Trump should have done the same – backed out of campaign mode? Because Trump was all over Twitter and calling into news programs very early this morning, while the bodies were still warm, very much in campaign mode and not expressing any sympathy for the victims until well after he posted things like this:

You and some other scum here are Putinistas before anything else. If it were possibly you would vote for KGB/FSB Putin for president before ANY American candidate, twisted fool that you are.

Gee, I missed where he called out Cruz on those. The terrorist attacks ARE a legitimate issue. Trying to smear another candidate with the terrorist attacks is wrong.

Do you get it NOW?
