“, but some names are really below the level of human dignity.”

Unlike, say, calling someone sleazy, slimy, ugly, the biggest liar ever. People they’d like to punch in the face. A pussy.

Yeah, someone is acting disgraceful.

So all the men and women of the Military that support Trump are Nazi’s? Spoken like a typical liberal. Waaah, I don’t agree with you so you must be a nazi and racist. Disgusting.

Cruz getting in bed with Beck is like getting in bed with another brownshirt, Rolm.

I wouldn't be surprised if Beck just shows up at a rally soon stark naked.

From the article:

"This latest dust-up isn't the only controversy surrounding Beck today. The museum spokesperson at George Washington's Mount Vernon estate told the Huffington Post that George Washington,s two copies of Miguel de Cervantes Don Quixote are 'stored safely' in their collection.

Beck has been carrying around a copy of the classic novel as a prop in his stump speech for Cruz, telling audiences that his book was the very one that George Washington purchased on the same day the Constitution was signed.

The curators at Mount Vernon helpfully tweeted a photograph of the real copy Washington purchased that day"

Oooh, that’s so witty!

Here’s another good one. I have to give it to Van Jones last night on CNN. He said something like Ted Cruz reminds him of Richard Nixon - only without Nixon’s good looks and charisma.

No, pathetic is calling anyone who opposes Trump’s coronation slimy, sleazy, cheating, ugly, low energy liars. Because eventually Trump will turn on you sheep too.

I’ll drink some corn ethanol to that!

Oh, really?

Did Cruz turn on us when he:

1) Work with Paul Ryan to pass TPA?

2) Voted for the Corker Iran Bill?

3) Supported an increase in H1V Visas?

4) Went to the Southern Border with Glenn Beck to pass out soccer balls and Teddy Bears to ILLEGALS with Glenn Beck?

Sorry, but you Cruz supporters are abject hypocrites!

Slimy, liar, sleazy are not equivalent to you calling freepers brownshirts. Someone who lies is by definition a liar. Same with other terms. I don’t think anyone here meets the definition of Brownshirt.

"However, once he was there, he could have waited until Beck had finished spewing his line of BS, and then entered the caucus room."

Maybe, just maybe, Trump wanted to save Cruz from Beck and that's why he didn't wait. It's possible he did Cruz a favor.

OTOH, maybe all those people were there for Trump and were just bidding their time listening to beck.

Glenn Beck has hurt Cruz more than helped him.

In 2012 Beck called people “racist” for supporting Gingrich instead of Romney.

In 2014 Beck with Cruz in tow, went to the Mexican border and handed out teddy bears and soccer balls to illegal invaders. Then he denounced anyone who disagreed with him as “racists.”

in Sept 2015, Beck called people who support Trump “racists.”

Essentially, Beck has fully adopted the leftist playbook, when you are losing an argument call the other person a “racist.” It usually works.

“Glenn Beck may be the worst person in the world.”

I’d say he places well for silliest is all.

Did Trump know ahead of time that Beck was speaking in that particular room? I don’t know one way or the other... just asking. If he did know, probably not a nice thing to do. If he didn’t, then WTF? Is he supposed to have ESP?

And you may tend to make gross exaggerations.

He’ll probably try attach himself onto Rubio before long. Man, that would be too funny!

Beck really needs to knock it off. He’s not hurting Trump, but he’s really hurting Cruz. Cruz should immediately disavow the whole brownshirt idea.

There are similarities between America today and other countries that fell apart in other times. That does not mean Trump is Hitler. I don’t like him threatening people who run political ads against him, but that is because it’s a stupid tactic, not because he’s going to kill them.

Beck needs help.

And now he's gone one step further calling them Nazis, and some Cruz people are obediently following suit.
