The man is an American citizen. Get over yourself. Is Obama a Kenyan vs an American?

What is offensive is Cruz wanting the US "to stand unapologetically with Israel" @13:30

My country right or wrong has now morphed to Israel right or wring.

Not nay more than others; such as "its the economy stupid". We know who he was talking to: us. Beside one could consider it satire; so that which how is ok.

Agreed. Ted Cruz says a lot of offensive things, the quote by the OP wasn't one of them, but this is.

Was I offended? No.
But national leaders do not mock the dead, whether the fallen are friend or foe.
Mocking is best left to us smaller men.

I am not offended by Cruz's comment in the OP, but I am offended by Ted Cruz in general. He's an egoistical blow-hard who like to stir the pot with his crazy talk.

I am a Muslim and I am not offended. Just as I wouldn't be offended by a blithering mentally handicapped man in a wheel chair hurling some insult at me, I'm not going to be offended by some politician whose trying to rouse his base of equally mentally incompetent and ignorant people.

Your opinion?
Well, said. It was actually first stated by a Navy Seal. Full statement wording went something like...can't remember the exact words to quote, but:

Whether you agree or not with that group picturing Mohammed, they were exercising their First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and that policeman introduced the two terrorists to the Second Amendment!

Can anyone argue with that? I thought that statement made the point crystal clear!

I'm sorry but Cruz sounds and looks exactly like some TV evangelist who I consider to be one wrung lower than snake oil salesmen.
