Tea Party hilarity

Ted Cruz tries to have a rational moment, and it backfires:

You just can't make this ★■◆● up, can you?

And when I read those blogs, all it tells me is both sides should be neutered.

The woman who believes Bush & Cheney knew about 911…I would start with her.

Jesus, what a crappy article. I can't believe someone got paid to write that. You should aim higher when choosing your "news" sites, or if not, don't bother linking to this garbage. I'm growing continually wary of the posts on this board.

What in Gods name makes you think the posters were real Tea Party members? Because they responded to Cruz's post? You're dislike of the Tea Party is worse than my disdain for Obama.

Does that classify him as a hater?

that was an opinion piece, not meant to be investigative journalism. I just re-read it, and find no real style/writing issues that I can see. It was simply a straightforward reportage of Cruz' Facebook statement, and a list of responses it got. And, for the record, I have no clue as to whether the folks responding were 'Tea Party' members, or whatever. They simply could respond because they were 'friends' of Ted Cruz, for whatever reason. If you floated about the 'net on the week of Mandela's death, you would have seen a LOT of very similar commentary, though, generally from 'conservatives', and almost universally from American citizens, so take the opinion for what you will.
