Is someone projecting? Just a little?
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, a resident of the extreme right political fringe who is running for the Republican presidential nomination, told reporters in Texas on Tuesday that the left is obsessed with sex because he keeps getting questions about marriage laws and the rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans.
“Is there something about the left — and I am going to put the media in this category — that is obsessed with sex?” Cruz said.
He went on to borrow a particularly mindless comment from his colleague, Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, who said in April that gay-rights advocates should get some “perspective” because gay people are executed in Iran. Mr. Cruz took it one completely illogical step farther.
“ISIS is executing homosexuals — you want to talk about gay rights?” he said. “This week was a very bad week for gay rights because the expansion of ISIS, the expansion of radical, theocratic, Islamic zealots that crucify Christians, that behead children and that murder homosexuals — that ought to be concerning you far more than asking six questions all on the same topic.”
Let’s just toss that remark in the dustbin of campaign foolishness, and focus on his first comment — that asking about laws that ban same-sex marriages, and laws that ensure that gay Americans do not suffer discrimination, represents an obsession with sex.
Perhaps Mr. Cruz doesn’t get this, but fighting for gay rights and marriage equality has nothing to do with sex. Would Mr. Cruz say the same thing about the constant discussion among Republicans about the “sanctity” of heterosexual marriage and relationships between men and women?
If anything, it is the right that is strangely devoted

Here is a consevative writer’s comments on Cruz’s statements. Much more rational read.

Good catch on the video— you’re not trying to take away my job, are you??????????

Oh, the NY Slimes, what a surprise.
About time SOMEBODY said this !

Really???? I thought EVERYONE said that! -:)

General, what kind of fowl? Water fowl? And we’re these fowl LGBT?
And with that snarky remark, I spell “were” incorrectly.
Story of my life.
Yes, these people are sick, sick, sick. For 40 years now, I have put up with the prurient nature of left-wingers. As I’m rereading Freud on sex, I’ll update you guys with what he thought of sex-obsessed nutcases!
I smell fear emanating from the NY Times, just like Salon and Slate.
I’m enjoying what Sen. Cruz is doing to the state controlled media.

BTW, Rosenthal (the little squirt) isn't allowing comments. Heh.
He has MY VOTE.
I have missed hearing from Michelle Malkin and was so glad to hear her remarks on Cruz.
I’m going to have to take remedial lessons in computer tech! I am worse than pathetic.
I, and everyone else at FR, benefit from your hard work everyday. You add a lot to my life and I appreciate it so much!
UPDATE: Andy has only allowed comments from simpering acolytes who agree with his brainless grunts. The Left are all cowards.
actually, Cruz’s question about the left and a fixation on sex.......is something we’ve all noticed here for a number of years.... find a leftist/communist/socialist/community organizer type...and you usually find a very sex-obsessed person (often very strange kinds of sex, too, you know...all 57 types of sex Obama told us about)
there really seems to be a strong correlation (from our observations, no scientific study here but it is very apparently true)
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, a resident of the extreme right political fringe
Ted Cruz is BARELY a centrist.. most of the republican Congress are leftists..
This guy has no idea of what the extreme right is..
Would scare the HELLary out of him.. (IF he lived)..
The left IS obsessed with sex, because they are not getting any..truth hurts leftists
Ted Cruz is now living rent free in the Libtard heads. What’s that song that starts out “I’ve got you under my skin, I’ve got you deep in the heart of me”? That’s where Ted is. :-)
The left sees sex like the left sees money.....like a glutton sees food
Ted needs to keep answering the same way, with one small change. He should drop the word GAY from his lexicon and refer to them as homosexual. Do not let them define the conversation.
HOMOSEXUAL, because there’s nothing GAY about it.
