Ted Cruz Is Being Unfairly Criticized for his Post-Colorado Comments

National Review ^ | November 30, 2015 | Charles C. W. Cooke

[Isara]

"What did we expect Cruz to say: "Boy, those pro-lifers are terrible, amirite"?"

[Seruzawa]

The evil of the leftist pols, media and their facebook mobs never cease to amaze me. I should be used to this by now. But seeing everyone who is not a liberal depicted as a crazed lunatic doesn’t get old for me. I newly load some more ammo.

[I want the USA back]

Meanwhile the media is making sure that it protects hillary by not asking her the same embarassing questions that it asks Republicans.

[Arthur McGowan]

The possessive of “Cruz” is not “Cruz’.”

It’s “Cruz’s.”

BTW: The plural of “Bush” is not “Bush’s.” The plural of “Clinton” is not “Clinton’s.”

[wideawake]

The Senator didn't say "he was" those things, he said "it's been reported he was."

In other words, he used the exact same wording that the journalist addressing him used.

I hope the Senator does not backtrack.

[LS]

Would love to see Cooke, just ONCE, use this much fairness and logic to defend Trump. But no, all he does is attack, smear, and misstate what Trump says.

I'm glad he's defending Ted. A little consistency would help.

[lacrew]

“Christian extremist Robert Louis Dear”

Christian extremist, eh?

I’ve failed to read anywhere that Dear was a Christian. But letting that slide for a minute, how come the guy who shot up Ft Hood is a lone wolf, and not a Muslim Extremist?

Or the guy who shot up the Family Research Council office is not a Gay Marriage Extremist?

[dforest]

Yeah, just imagine Cooke if Trump had said this. LOL

[MNJohnnie]

So let ask the Left wing propagandists pretending to be “Journalists” this question

“You are aware that the police office killed in Colorado Springs defending the abortion clinic was a Pro Lifer right”?

[HarleyLady27]

And now you know what it feels like...when the government controlled media takes after your candidate with gnashing teeth...

Hope your ready.....

[smokingfrog]

Dear was once married to Pamela Ross, who described how they had a happy family for a while as Dear held a job as an art dealer. Ross ended up putting his early criminal history on record in 1997, when she accused Dear of domestic violence and various periods of violent anger. Ross said that even back then, Dear held conservative political and religious views, owned guns, condemned abortion, but she told the New York Times she did not think he had any particular obsession with these issues.

[miss marmelstein]

Why is Ted even being asked about this? He didn’t pull the trigger, doesn’t support the actions of this maniac, and it’s not in a state he represents.

[miss marmelstein]

Yup! We’ve been predicting this, haven’t we? Now let’s see the Trump haters deal with this. Since I admire Ted, I will NOT be piling on. (Are there any Trump fans who dislike Cruz?)

[FreeReign]

And now you know what it feels like...when the government controlled media takes after your candidate with gnashing teeth... Hope your ready.....

They've been going after Cruz going back several years. And with the low popularity of the press, it's a badge of honor when they do it.

[Dr. Sivana]

The possessive of "Cruz" is not "Cruz'."

It's "Cruz's."

Not according to the Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation:

Rule: To show plural possession of a name ending in s, ch, or z, form the plural first; then immediately use the apostrophe.

Examples: the Williamses' car the Birche' house the Sanchezes' children

[HarleyLady27]

I have never said anything bad about Cruz, in fact I have stood up for him on more than one occasion, so if you think I’m jumping on Cruz, best fix your glasses....

I said, now you know what it feels like (as we Trump supporters are always getting jumped on) so good luck...

The media will not print the truth and they are not going to print the truth of what Cruz said or didn’t say...good luck.....

[HarleyLady27]

Glad you feel that way....get back to me in a couple of months....let me know how you feel then.....

[Las Vegas Ron]

(Are there any Trump fans who dislike Cruz?)

Not here.....but that escapes too many here for some reason.

[Sopater]

It never ceases to amaze me that the “mainstream” sees those who think that murdering innocent, unborn babies are the “extremists”.

[FreeReign]

Glad you feel that way....get back to me in a couple of months....let me know how you feel then.....

As I pointed out, they were going after Cruz as far back as several years ago.

So it's nothing new.
