The media will do all it can to suppress this, just like it suppressed stories about obama and pastor wright.

and people expect this guy to actually win a national election for President...???

Obviously cut and edited. Yes Kevin Swanson is a certified nut.
I don’t care for Cruz, but this is B.S. and should not be used against him.
The headline doesn’t match the content. He never called for the execution of gays. He cited a Bible verse that said they will die.
Whoa. That surely will play well./s
Misleading headline from a blog I would now call a propaganda site. The pastor simply quoted the bible. And freepers think that is a horrible crime. How far we have slipped.
Ted Cruz thought throwing in with leftists would help him from those maniacs... Well he was wrong. I. Hope every attack from Right, Left, Center, and even the Communists sticks. Dumb ass layed down with dogs and I’ll enjoy watching him scratch at those fleas. Hope this attack damages his support.
Yeah? So?
For an article about Ted Cruz, they seem strangely disinterested in anything Ted Cruz had to say.
At the same conference Pastor Swanson begged God to forgive America for Harry Potter.
Not your religion, Mr. Hoft? Our candidates apparently are being accused of associating with Christians. The Founders would not have raised an eyebrow. Are you too good for them? Their government was better, and their lives were better lived.
And for the record, Mr. Hoft: The Harry Potter books are positively writhing with witchcraft, spells, obscene little jokes blaspheming Christ and Christianity, and for good measure, lots and lots of homosexual innuendo.
Evangelical Christianity doesn't happen to be my style or flavor, but if this shocks or alarms you, you need to get out more. You seem to have the wrong friends.
People are taking cheap shots at Trump and Cruz all day long. You can pay attention to it, you can take part in it, if you want to. Or you can just remember that who you knew them to be the day before the campaign started is who they are. And ignore the cheap shots.
Has Cruz disavowed anything that this preacher has said?
Nice follow up to the Drudge hit piece. The establishment must view Cruz as a legitimate threat.
I bet Cruz didn’t sit in this guy’s church for 20 years.
This video — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCRGyHQ7Mms — indicates that this “anti-gay” guy spoke *after* Cruz, the next *day*. How can Cruz (or the other speakers) be responsible for this guy’s speech?
Can Trump be condemned for appearing at events where others say goofy things?

This is old news, and the pastor DID NOT say that homosexuals in society should be executed.
This was a leftist hit job.
i don’t see anything in the article where the Pastor calls for any executions. The headline is a lie.
As you say, this video is edited, and even in the video they admit to the Swanson speech and the Cruz appearance being two different times. What people miss about the Swanson speech, and what’s wrong about the OP headline, is that Swanson is not arguing that Christians should harm gays, but that God views homosexuality as worthy of death, which He does. This speech is about the religious freedom to teach what the Bible teaches without fear of “hate speech” charges. In that context, Swanson is not saying anything Ted would or should be ashamed of. But a well edited tape and an uncomprehending audience make for great leftist propaganda. That should not surprise or discourage anyone who supports Cruz. It’s just the world in which we now live, and to survive in it we must adapt, by fighting the lies, not caving in to them.
Peace,

If you're going to misinterpret the Bible this way, Paul would be calling for the execution of EVERYBODY, not just gays.
Now I'm understanding why Cruz calls you "low information voters."
