Ted Cruz Used A Very Fake Photoshop of Marco Rubio In An Ad. Then The Internet Got Its Revenge.
Independent Journal ^ | February 22, 2016 | Benny Johnson

Posted on 02/23/2016 6:12:42 AM PST by true believer forever

The Ted Cruz campaign was called out for a very fake photoshop of Marco Rubio last week. This image of Rubio enthusiastically shaking Obama's hand was used on a Cruz campaign landing page.

The Cruz campaign initially denied the photo was fake, which led to an important fact check by the internet. The photoshop feud led to an important competition on Twitter, where users attempted their own Rubio photoshops with stunning accuracy.

I didn’t discuss “spiritual superiority”. Sorry about your misinterpretation of my words.

Cruz's campaign manager is habitual liar. He should be publicly fired . . . asap.

There . . . I fixed it.

You are calling the wrong people simpletons! Cruz is a proven liar and a cheater. What kind of a Christian man would pull the crap he tries to get away with while raising up his arms to the sky? Besides, the man has shifty eyes. He is always on the prowl, looking for another opportunity. I don’ trust him. At least with Trump you know what you are getting and I’m fine with that. By experience I do not trust a man who panders his religion unless he is a priest or pastor. Yes, I said it. He panders. Did he pander in New Hampshire? No because he knew he wouldn’t benefit.

When the primary comes to NJ I will be there with all my friends to pull the lever for TRUMP. I will say though if by some miracle the name CRUZ is on the ballot in November I will pull that lever while holding my nose but I seriously doubt that will come to pass.

He even cuts work just like a kid.

And Cruz does the same thing, just not quite as often.

LIAR! LIAR! LIAR!

Oh my, Ted Cruz must be a liar, so let’s vote for someone who has already stabbed conservatives in the back countless times. Yeah, that’s solid thinking. I’m going to vote for a con man loser who has never done ANYTHING to uphold our Constitution.

I’m not that dumb.

Did Cruz license the Getty image. If not, Getty will own them soon.

I think he's got the scrilla if they come after him...

Have a great day!

I think Cruz should have control over his people. Obama likes to blame others. Ever hear the expression, the buck stops here? Cruz, like Obama are two birds of a feather in that regard. I want a president that faces up to reality and sets the tone for his administration, not a liar! It takes a real man to admit he is wrong when he is wrong or better yet, always do the right thing and no defense or apology is necessary.

I did have a purpose in my mind with my post which obviously has eluded you ...

Lol! I'm guessing that happens to you all the time, in the same way Pauly Shore always finds himself casting his comedic genius pearls before unappreciative swine.

Good luck finding your audience.

Or, its politically expedient to destroy an opponent's character.

Regardless, it has been effective. And it can be used against anyone.

All I asked was a simple question. Here it is again.

At the end of the commercial, does Ted Cruz say "I'm Ted Cruz and I approve this message." ?

And you dodged the answer. Why ?

Sadly, you have no concept of what happens in a campaign.

You made me laugh. If you wish to believe that, go ahead.

Frauds like Donald Rubio depend upon your gullibility.

You have no idea which candidate or candidates I support or would vote for. If you believe you do, the gullibility lies within yourself.

What a disappointment. When I first saw/heard Cruz, I thought he was super bright and a great potential leader. There is a reason no one likes him. He has no boundaries (like Clinton). He’s basically a putz.

The commercial was produced by others. Ted viewed it, without knowing the handshake was photoshopped, (why would he?), and approved it at the beginning. It is a great, powerful commercial.
If Ted had conspired with Morning Joe and Mika, as Trump was caught exposed to have done now, his campaign would be over by noon. And those two jokers would be canned. But I’ve noticed that other sites have not even picked it up yet! Are you surprised?
The fix is in, and all Donald’s drones will hiccup and go on to his rally to save America.

Heh. Well, that’s your right. And honestly, I’m not TOO upset about this myself. Better all this happens now than in the general.

You have a great day as well.

No, the gist of the commercial, that Mao and Rubio worked hand in hand would be the meme of the day.

I know, but again, who believes it or cares ?

Sure a few would mention it, but it would be forgotten by the next day.

That's what I'm saying. It seems to be a mountain made out of a molehill.

Go vote for your con man.

See... there's that HATE THING. That I'm RIGHT, everyone else is WRONG and an IDIOT.

You don't know who I plan to vote for. I don't know who you support or would vote for, but based on your need to attack others (and make assumptions about who they support) I would not trust your advice on who I should vote for. Not that I would ask you anyway, nor anyone else.

Same conclusion I came to.
