Ok, this needs to be addressed. I’m positive that there are some genuine categories of Trump supporters that don’t fall into what I’m about to point out below, but this needs to be called out for what it is: straight up Anti-Semitism. Liz was asked to clarify her comments by several FReepers and ignored it.
She’s not the only one though and I find it alarming that a lot of professed Trump supporters tend to come from the Ron Paul camp pushing the same terminology.
Last week, Liz said this more than once:

“Mr Opportunist—the flailing Cruz—collapsed in the polls after stupidly trying to latch onto the soaring Trump aura.
At a recent “In Defense of Christians” event, Cruz was booed off the stage.....he demonstrated his appalling ignorance of the plight of Christians in the middle east.
The obsessively-opportunistic Cruz used the audience’s goodwill to promote his agenda, rather than comment on Christians’ plight....he was booed off the stage.”
The first paragraph is fine. That is the nature of politics. However, she brought up a well known event last year where Cruz was speaking to Arab Christians when Cruz rightly pointed out that Jews face the same persecution and terror from Jihadists that Arab Christians do and he was booed off stage because of the Arab’s anti-semitism towards Israel (which brings into question whether their conversion to Christianity was genuine and understood).

Anyone who heard of the story and saw what transpired knew that Cruz was absolutely correct in what he said and was right to walk off the stage.
But Liz refers to that as “opportunistic” and saying he “misused the audience’s goodwill”. Only a Paulbot could make such a claim.
But then, Liz also posted this:

She repeats her comments that posts a “Backstory”
“THAT’S SCARY: Ted Cruz as a Cabinet Secy in the Trump admin?
At a recent “In Defense of Christians” event, Cruz was booed off the stage.....he demonstrated his appalling ignorance of the plight of Christians in the middle east.
The obsessively-opportunistic Cruz used the audience’s goodwill to promote his agenda, rather than comment on Christians’ plight....he was booed off the stage.”
BACKSTORY: Is the Canadian-born Sen Ted Cruz really a Washington outsider or just another neocon establishment player willingly following the globalist agenda?
Back in 2014 a writer questioned the opportunistic Cruz’s self-proclaimed “outsider” status....in light of his background as a Harvard-trained lawyer who worked for George W. Bush and Congressman John Boehner.
The writer also mentioned Cruz’s wife Heidi’s banking and Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) affiliations: “Cruz’s wife Heidi is a Goldman Sachs Regional Manager, which is a little unnerving, given the massive bailouts and their involvement with the Federal Reserve in deflating our currency and killing our economy.
Heidi was also a member of a CFR task force that produced a report in 2005 called “Building a North American Community”.” Cruz himself once referred to the CFR as a “pernicious nest of snakes” working to undermine US sovereignty. This apparently includes his wife.
The CFR is a Rockefeller-funded group that is said to be occupied with the task of promoting the acceptance of global governance by Americans. Members there have written about why Americans must give up some of their sovereignty for a new order.
CFR’s “North American Union”, many believe, would indeed undermine the sovereignty of The United States.
Cruz is a recipient of over $106,000 from foreign pro-war lobbies, and once suggested that pro-abortion Democrat ex- Senator Joseph Lieberman would make a good Secretary of Defense. Lieberman himself has taken more than $2.2 MILLION from pro-war lobbies, the most of any US Senator.
This proclivity to support war, is said by many pundits to be “spawning the New World Order abroad.....perhaps a Police State at home”.
Wow, in that “backstory” we have the terms “Neocon”, accusing Cruz of being a “War Monger”, as well as references to questioning his American loyalty and Natural Birth Citizenship (Canadian), and that Cruz is somehow apart of the NWO, which if you listen to these people long enough, they believe NWO is controlled by Israel.
I called Liz out on her comments and another poster asked her to clarify her comments on Cruz at the Defense of Christians events, but she did not and sunk back over into the cooking threads after being exposed.
My reason for bringing this up is “Liz” isn’t the only Trump supporter that fits this same category. There are others. Most notably many of the Cruz-birther lunatics, but also many that harbor the same disastrous Ron Paul lunacy on foreign policy and those with anti-semetic tendencies have for whatever reason gravitated to Trump. Interestingly, I could not find a single comment from Liz on the Iran Nuke deal Probably because she supports it or thinks Trump would make “a better deal”.
I don’t have any idea if you are talking to me or not, but I do believe that globalism and globalists are a threat to my country and my people, and I have said over and over that I will not vote for a globalist.
The hostility between the Arabs and the Jews engages globalists, but I don’t think it’s a principal concern of theirs - as we see with their (mostly) supportive posture towards the Iran “agreement”. If Iran used the nukes to exterminate the Jewish population of Israel, the globalists would be setting up factories in “Palestine” the very next day.
Senator Cruz is a conservative, but he also has globalistic tendencies that concern me greatly.
There are questions about Cruz, and some come from original supporters.
FWIW, I got a call from someone who said they were from the Cruz campaign (gosh, I hope that's not true) wanting more money.
He expressed his willingness to hear me out.
I stated where I'm at now in this process. I'm not going to give any more to Cruz or and one else this primary season. We have an ideal candidate who can inspire, engage, and maybe even save the US. We should accept Trump's generous offer and use the money that would've been spent on primary campaigns to to oust EVERYONE (well, as close as possible) who has supported McConnell or Boehner. Clean up as much of the DC sewer as we can in the primaries. Then, President Trump will have a lot less garbage to deal with when he gets to DC.
I then asked "don't you think money would be better spent primarying McConnell and Boehner supporters, and having Senator Cruz there to help turn around the traitorous Senate?"
For the life of me, I can't find any flaw in my logic.
And then this money hound creature started lecturing me about Cruz being the only real conservative and how we can't trust Trump because of yadda yadda and how the Trump campaign won't last etc. I was DISGUSTED. I told the caller that I thought Senator Cruz had taken on a policy of not criticizing candidates and I'd be SHOCKED if what he was saying met with approval of the campaign.
The caller hung up on me. My question remains. Wouldn't money being spent trying to stop Trump be better spent primaryinng supporters of McConnell and Boehner?
This is long. I had to get it out here. A lot of us want to hear what Liz has to say. She's got some real good research. If any of it is an embarrassment to Cruz, so what? It's insignificant compared to what Mr. Trump has had to put up with as the puppet masters tried to squelch his campaign
grrr.......

Update:
Make that racist, fascist, dark-spirited, crazy, bitter clinging clowns that hate Jews.
Got a Freeper that posted a thread a month or two ago accusing Ted Cruz of using other people’s speeches.
A Paulbot possibly ?
