No, Wait! Fix This! Fix The Hell Outta This.
Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz has a theory about the Denver Planned Parenthood killings.
While urging caution about drawing conclusions about the Colorado Planned Parenthood shooting that left three dead, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz Sunday pointed to claims on conservative blogs that the suspected shooter is a “transgendered leftist activist.”
No. Just No. Just Hell No.
Personally, I think Cruz wants the guy’s endorsement. He did, after all, brag about his endorsement by the head of Operation Rescue.
Newman is president of Operation Rescue, a group devoted to shuttering abortion clinics. He also serves as one of three board members of the Center for Medical Progress, the little-known California group behind a video project targeting Planned Parenthood over its fetal tissue donation program.
Newman has long been one of the nation’s most controversial antiabortion activists, in part because of remarks he has made apparently praising the killing of abortion doctors and calling women who have abortions “murderers.”
In the past couple of hours Cruz is backing off the transgendered leftist thing – he now claims he just meant that “we don’t know, it could be anything.” Yeah, a Canadian gun owner running for President. Thats who it could be. Or Lindsey Graham. You never know.
Thanks to Bubba for going back to the wifi machine before I exploded.
Cruz is very very dangerous. I am hoping that once Trump is gone and Cruz moves up the ladder, the media will finally out his father’s dominionist ideas and expose what will become of the country under control of the Cruz Crime Syndicate. It ain’t pretty.
1Aha! So there was a group T-Rump failed to insult. Here’s Daffy Cruz, Jr. riding wingnut to rectify that oversight.
SallyinMI, Dubya is also a dominionist. For some reason the media is loathe to expose these crackpots. Jebya went Catholic for Columba, but it should be asked of him if he has shed his dominionist roots. Up the crazy at the next snacilbupeR debate and toss out the question; see which whack-o-bird tries to out dominionist the other.
2I was wondering why Cruz was the only candidate to offer condolences yesterday. Now we know. It was because he knew then that only one day later that he would use the deaths and injuries of their loved ones for his political bull$#it.
3Just when you think he can’t sink any lower, he does.
Is there some kind of contest among the GOP presidential would-be’s to see who can pull the craziest statement out of their rear ends and get the press to report it with a relatively straight face? That’s the only explanation. That, or nearly all of them are honest-to-mike certifiably delusional and ought to be in nice quiet separate rubber rooms somewhere so they can play with the toys in their heads and not bother other people.
4Well, not transgendered, not leftist and not activist, but other than that the WingNuts are 100% correct. Which is pretty much par for the course with them.
If they didn’t have lies they’d have nothing to say at all.
5The “transgendered” business comes from some right-wing websites that found that the suspect’s 2014 Colorado voter registration lists him as “female.” It looks like a data entry error to me, but it’s enough to set their hair on fire — anything, ANYTHING to distance themselves from this sort of violence that they’ve been encouraging for decades.
6Have you all seen a pic of the person they’re talking about? If that’s transgendered then somebody’s got a huge basis for a lawsuit. Whether it’s male-to-female or female-to-male the result is a major fail.
7Speaking as the parent of a transgendered son, I can assure you that ugly mug was never a woman.
8Did those websites find the right voter registration or just mess with the scan to make it look like that’s what it said? Or find a female with the same last name and initials? Like maybe the woman this [redacted] moved to Colorado to join up with?
I don’t trust what right-wing websites say they found. And agree with JAKvirginia that the person is not trans anything.
9And just to add to the fun, over the holiday weekend (such thoughtful timing) the State of Texas (thanks to Gov. Abbott and his sleazy underlings) sued a nonprofit that challenged his letter telling them to never help a Syrian refugee.
That man is going straight to hell. If there isn’t one, one will be provided for him by the court.
10Well, Elizabeth Moon, maybe Transylvanian. A little around the eyes, maybe?

He ain’t transgendered.
13Once more a Republican candidate makes an unsubstantiated (and I’m being kind) allegation and our toothless mainstream media cluelessly repeats it — verbatim. An independent blogger does some research which demonstrates the utter falsity of the allegation but by that time it has been repeated enough times that it is accepted as truthful by those who get their science from Fox news. Two weeks later they are citing this — as fact — in comments on countless web sites. Remember “Clock Boy” who was suspended for bringing an electronic circuit board with a time display to school? Find a recent story about it and there will be dozens of comments referencing the fact that his sister had been suspended earlier for “making bomb threats”. Which means that the same idiotic school system had suspended here because someone reported that she had said something she never said but now it’s on brightphart and that makes it true.
14Cruz, that sanctimonious sycophant, wants to keep his name and face (Ewwww) in the news and it doesn’t matter to the RKlan whether he lies or not. We learned long ago that they don’t deal in facts. Facts are the enemy.
15a “transgendered leftist activist CHRISTIAN.”
There. Fixed it.
16This happened in CO SPRINGS and not Denver. Although, Lord knows, some RWNJ could do a copycat in Denver.
17e platypus onion, I don’t think Daffy Cruz, Jr. meant to say the terrorist was trangender. In his usual clumsy fashion of making everything about himself, Teddy came out of the closet as transgender. Maybe had he come out on a slower news day, he would have received the attention he craves.
#CruzAdmitsToTransgender
18Colorado Springs’ State House Representatives have been called The House Crazies” for years. Colorado Springs is like the donut hole for crazy in Colorado…. very military…. NORAD, Cheyenne Mountain, Peterson AFB, Fort Carson, and let’s not forget the Air Force Academy are all there. Retired military, active duty, you name it. Then there are the religious right whackos… Dobson’s Focus on the Family Headquarters, New Life, Compassion International, The Navigators, and many other Evangelical headquarters. Nothing surprises me that comes out of Colorado Springs.
19I’d imagine that Mr. Dear’s ex-wife could have set Cruz straight on all his claims, if he had talked to her. But then he wouldn’t have had anything left to say to grab the attention of the press.
20Thanks to Ted Cruz for the explanations. Here I was thinking that this guy Dear was a member of Cruz’s dad’s church congregation … oh wait … maybe he could have been both …
I can see the sign Rafael would put up out by the street: “We deprogram and rehabilitate transgendered leftist activists.”
