Cruz Attacks Matt Drudge [AUDIO]
Daily Caller ^ | 4/11/16 | Steve Guest

Posted on 04/11/2016 4:21:10 PM PDT by markomalley

Sen. Ted Cruz claims that Roger Stone, The Daily Caller Men’s Fashion editor, “decides” what Matt Drudge posts on his website Drudge Report.

In an interview with Mike Slater on “The Mike Slater Show” Monday, Cruz said, “If people want to get on the “Trump train,” they can. I actually think we need real and meaningful solutions to the problems in this country, and as president my focus is going to be on three things: jobs, freedom and security.”

Slater asked Cruz what he thought of the Drudge Report and the Texas senator replied, “Look, Drudge Report over the years has done a good job highlighting the excesses of the left and the excesses of liberalism, and about the past month the Drudge Report has basically become the attack site for the Donald Trump campaign.”

“And so every day they have the latest Trump attack. They’re directed at me. It — by all appearances, Roger Stone now decides what’s on Drudge, and most days they have a six-month-old article that is some attack on me, and it’s — whatever the Trump campaign is pushing that day will be the banner headline on Drudge.”

“By the way, they no longer cover news. Remember they used to have things like election results? They don’t put those on Drudge anymore. When we win a state, suddenly the state doesn’t matter. You know Colorado — there was no red siren on Drudge when we won all 34 delegates in Colorado. That wasn’t news, because — I mean listen, that’s fine,” Cruz said.

Later Cruz said, “My number one priority is bringing jobs back to America, raising wages for everyone, making it easier for people struggling to achieve the American Dream. That’s my focus. And I’m going to let others worry about the silly political game and the circus.”

Maybe Cruz knows that Matt Drudge is close to hitting paydirt on more solid proof of a bimbo-eruption type of story than the NE affair or maybe something even worse and his lashing out at Drudge may be a pre-emptive strike to lessen impact when or if Drudge drops the bomb.

That is a weird accusation this person made about Matt Drudge? Matt Drudge IS Jewish and also observes the Sabbath by not working on his website... Back when Drudge was still doing his national Sunday night radio show, a caller starting ranting that Jews were responsible for America's problems. Remember Drudge slamming the caller, reminding him he was talking to a "Jew" and he didn't take kindly to what he was saying. He then went to explain that he usually had a trusted guest editor cover his website during Sabbaths, since he was observant.

Editor_surveyor called Matt Drudge an anti-semite simply because Cruz is now attacking Drudge. Ironically, Editor thinks most Freepers are going to hell because we believe in traditional Christianity, while he claims to be more Jewish than Jews by being a member of the Hebrew Roots religious cult. He is a gentile thinking he is a super-Jew, while simultaneously condemning Matt Drudge, an actual Jew.

He is a real nasty piece of work.

An awful lot of folks like Matt Drudge.

I’m not convinced this is going to work out as well as Ted thought it would.

This could really turn folks against Ted.

We’ll have to wait and see.

Agree - Cruz got word that Drudge is about to drop something major about him that will make the NE story look like peanuts and is trying to get ahead of it. Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense to pick a fight with Matt Drudge at this time.

Romans 2:28-29

For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

The MSM created Trump, and kept him up top in front in every broadcast, Talking mostly about Trump in stories that were supposedly about an other candidate, and creating conflict skits to make it look like they were in conflict with their chosen created candidate.

The low-info Rip VanWinkles lapped it all up like it was real, and tuned in for every episode like the lap dogs they really are.

FOX,CNN,NBC,MSNBC,CBS,ABC are not news networks, they are Trump sycophancies.

LOL, TooL Fool. Initially they liked ratings, thought he would take himself out, the folks loved it, but they now see him as a threat, because he can win, your comment is past the due date. Stay informed.

It’s beginning to look as though “conservative” is just another “card” that Cruz played for street cred.
Now the mask is falling off and we get to see the real.

It does come off as a push poll due to your pro-trump/anti cruz posts on other threads.

Not reflective of the 60,000 tea party type that participated in the CO caucus.

Its fine if the forum becomes a mostly/all trump forum if that is what people want.

You know you’ve lost the intellectual, and the moral argument when you have to run to Jim and hope he doesn’t read back and see what crap you’re trying to pull.

You’re a snake through and through.

Everyone is laughing at Trump now because it has become clear that he cannot win, and the race will be decided on the second ballot, which Cruz is leading in and probably has already won by due diligence; the way politics has aslways been done.

and hope he doesn’t read back

I reported all your posts. You're literally declaring that a Jew is an anti-semite with no evidence, and when confronted, you're declaring he isn't a "real" Jew based on the standards of your weird religious cult.

More on your cult:

"The Hebrew Roots assemblies are often made up of a majority of Gentiles, including Gentile rabbis. Usually they prefer to be identified as "Messianic Christians." Many have come to the conclusion that God has "called" them to be Jewish and have accepted the theological position that the Torah (Old Testament law) is equally binding on Gentiles and Jews alike. They often wear articles of traditional Jewish clothing, practice Davidic dancing, and incorporate Hebrew names and phrases into their writing and conversations. Most reject the use of the name "Jesus" in favor of Yeshua or YHWH, claiming that these are the "true" names that God desires for Himself. In most cases, they elevate the Torah as the foundational teaching for the Church, which brings about the demotion of the New Testament, causing it to become secondary in importance and only to be understood in light of the Old Testament. The idea that the New Testament is faulty and relevant only in light of the Old Testament has also brought the doctrine of the Trinity under attack by many advocates of the Hebrew Roots beliefs."

http://www.gotquestions.org/Hebrew-roots.html

So, a weird Gentile dressed up like a Jew at the other end of the computer screen, is here declaring that Matt Drudge is a Jew hater and not a real Jew for no other reason than that you claim he doesn't support Ted Cruz, a candidate YOU think is going to hell because he eats bacon and believes in the Trinity!

By the way, YOU were also on that anti-FR website, but you come over to this forum to lecture us about which Jew is a real Jew, even though you actually hate the vast majority of Freepers.

Weird!

Next they’ll be calling Drudge a Nazi. They’ll concoct some graphics of Drudge in a Nazi uniform in a WWII communications bunker.

If Ted Cruz is not conservative, then nobody is.

He lives it all day every day, and you apparently can’t even tell since you haven’t a clue what it is.

Because they “sell” news that will bring viewer ratings....drama and scandal...and outrageous happenings and speakers... will always bring in the tired masses to escape their real world. A political soap opera will do it every time.

Outrageous things like these>

A believed, real choice, not of the uniparty, speaking whats on peoples hearts and minds, is his appeal.

So every time he bashes the media, they CHEER,

Every time he calls GoPe lying Ted a liar, they CHEER,

Every time he calls a delegate selection not chosen by the voters, unfair, they CHEER,

and when drawing crowds at every rally like no other candidate in the History of this country, they CHEER.

And come November whether he is the nominee or not, THEY WILL ROAR.

I do not talk about the caucus, and folks have the stats up each day so that they can check my tallies to see if I am being fair.

Yes, I have an opinion about the day to day things that go on, and I’m going to be forceful about presenting and defending my views. Why shouldn’t I?

Whoever runs the caucus will be a person who is with it, and they are going to be participating on the forum. So what if I am forceful about my views? Aren’t others?

I invite folks just the same. I treat folks just the same on that thread. If a Trump person breaks the rules, their vote isn’t counted. I try to notify folks so the next day they can correct their problem and get their vote counted.

I do exactly the same thing for Cruz folks.

I try to be courteous even to folks who show up only to disrupt

That thread is every FReeper’s thread.

Don’t my views or anyone elses views stop you for expressing yours there.

Nobody is doing Ted a favor by not showing up on that thread. (Well a Trump supporter not showing up maybe...)

I posted the Biblical evidence Post 325 as Paul preached it to the Roman congregation, if you were really following anything.

You're just a mindless pit bull that roams the threads attacking.

Sad commentary, and why I’ve labeled this ilk, Tool Fools.

Tool= GoPe’s Cruz / Fool= Cruz supporter so deluded in thinking, not realizing a Cruz vote is a Hillary vote and has been since the FL and OH primary.

Not arguing with you.

Your space , CO caucus. Ny primary, NY CD 23- 27 , PA , SC and IOWA are all very different places.

I like to study statistics, so it interesting to what extent your venue is overstating Trump and understating Cruz.
