Ted Cruz like OJ? Twitter explodes at comparison

A correspondent for the New Yorker unwittingly unleashed a wave of fury on Twitter after he posted a derogatory profiling of Sen. Ted Cruz, likening the Texas tea party favorite to a celebrity athlete who beat murder charges.

	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ryan Lizza tweeted on Mr. Cruz’s appearance on the National Mall: “Ted Cruz going to the Mall protest today and railing against gov shutdown is like O.J. Simpson searching for the real killers.”

I thought that most of the libs who hate Ted Cruz think OJ was innocent?

Someone once said Twitter is for twits. This nonsense provides a good example.

So who is Ryan Lizza?

And what is Peter King thinking!!!!!

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

This is such utter idiocy that perhaps the response should be even more irrational.

“Ryan Lizza is a racist for comparing president Obama to O.J. Simpson!”

[COBOL2Java]

Peter King thinks? I thought his brain was in his right knee - the one that jerks a lot.

[COBOL2Java]

So who is Ryan Lizza?

Here he/she/it is. Kinda looks like "Pat" from SNL...

Way to go, Ted!

You’re driving them right into the straitjackets.
Keep it up brother!

[Resolute Conservative]

I equate libs and GOPe to the stuff my dog leaves around the back of the property.

[madison10]

Bleh.

I think the left and establishment rinos are scared of Cruz. He is a threat to their power. He can shake things up by bringing the conservative and Hispanic vote together.

[kabumpo]

One more time: there is no “Hispanic vote” because there is no such thing as a Hispanic. There is no “Hispanic food” or “Hispanic music” - the Spanish-speaking people in the U.S. are from different countries, of different races, different ethnicities, different social strata. Half-breed Mexican Indians who love Fidel Castro are not going to vote for an educated white man who is the son of a Cuban. Please wake up.

And what is Peter King thinking!!!!!

As soon as someone tells him, he’ll let you know.

In the end times, evil will be called good, and good will be called evil.

Right on. Conservatives need to stop using the phrase “Twitter explodes” — it almost deifies that vehicle of mass expression of emotion.
