Guess the Political Party: AP Photo Lines Pistol Up with Senator, 2016 Candidate Ted Cruz’s Brain
Breitbart ^ | 21 Jun 2015

Posted on 06/21/2015 4:27:52 PM PDT by mandaladon

Of course, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 93% is a Republican.

That puts him in proximity with guns and gun posters, as seen in this picture from Associated Press photog Charlie Neibergall, more often than Democrats.

Still, imagine a similar situation–a U.S. Senator campaigning for President–and instead of a pro-2nd Amendment event, it’s a pro-gun control event. Imagine this Senator is standing in front of a giant poster of a pistol–one meant to demonize the weapon rather than promote it.

Imagine that this same AP photographer, instead of shifting a foot to the left or the right, framed a picture with the Senator’s nose almost touching the barrel, as a closer crop makes clear.

Imagine that this photographer, even though he took a few shots with this silly setup, took many more without it. Imagine that his editor–unnamed and insulated from public backlash–chose not one but two but three of those photos to distribute to AP’s clients.

There is enough craziness going on without having to “IMAGINE” more of it!

OK, that is possibly the worst photo I have seen of a GOPer. How vile. The person who chose this should be fired.

Arrest the photographer for a hate crime. Beat them with their own game.

Looks like a Sig, even though it’s a little fuzzy.

Looked at his photographs on corbisimages. He certainly frames photos of Hillary and Sanders quite nicely...

AP has pushed citizen disarmament for decades. John Lott documented it in his book “The Bias Against Guns”

Too bad someone can’t send him a nice fish. Say have it arrive in the mailbox late Friday in July so it isn’t found until Monday...

Photographer Charlie Neibergall and the fifth-column AP media have just given permission for any (real, photoshopped, including unnatural acts with animals or objects) photograph of HilLIARy or other Demonicrat, or Neibergall’s mother, to be posted on the internet or elsewhere.

Just include the phrase, “Permission given by AP and Charlie Neibergall” with the photo.

Imagine the heads exploding as the hypocrisy unfolds upon them ...

If this picture was posted by a student in a school, that student would be expelled or the police would be called.

You nailed it, but folks prefer to be outraged, it seems.
