Is this the kind of ignorant racial prejudice we should come to expect from left wing nut jobs?

And yes birthers, this claim is real, not a RWNJ fantasy.
Interesting the same birthers who scream and yell about obama being illegal and yet a guy who really wasn't born in the country and not a peep. You think it has anything to do with the fact that cruz is a republican ? Bunch of hypocrites all o dem !

When ones missed no opportunity to skewer Perry and Bush, and has referred to Texas as being "declining" under Perry, then your comment leaves no doubt as to your post's implication.
Feel free to quote my post that mentions that.

One of us is making things up.

The other is pointing out the looniness.

I know which is which. I'm not sure you can tell the difference.

Point out the part that indicates it upsets me.

Who it should upset is the birthers who endlessly whine about the president, who wasn't born in a foreign country.

So, he's ineligible for the presidency, not being a natural born citizen. Some on the right have mentioned that they consider him "presidential material."

Then I guess you should talk to the people who began those conversations, the Hillary Clinton Presidential campaign.

"voter restriction efforts"?

Is that what you call wanting someone to show a picture ID? A "restriction" effort? We shouldn't restrict people to only vote under their own name? Are you one of those people who think showing you are who you say you are before voting is equivalent to a Jim Crow law?

Somebody like you would never understand the different life experiences that different people live in this country. It's ignorant to think that Cruz has felt the sting of prejudice, taunts, etc that a darker skinned "hispanic" would experience in this country. So, sit back comfortably in your white skin and dictate in your mind how everyone in this country lives the same easy life as you.

Damn! That was pretty racist of you. My world, is it that bad that you're the victim?
