Cruz Booed Off Stage At Christian Event

[whitehall]

So how many wingnuts on here actually think this guy is gonna be President?

Change the subject? Why in the world would a elected US Representative be booed off the stage when he spoke about the strong US alliance with Israel in front of an audience that supports Israel? The only logical conclusion is that dirty tricks hate groups infiltrated the audience.

Or maybe it's because they're also Arabs and as such aren't too fond of Israel, be they Christian, Muslim or Pastafarian. But hey, you can let your tin-foil be your guide.

And my question still stands.

Arabs? The IDC claims that the name is based on a letter about persecution of Jews. The mission statement claims that the IDC is committed to defending Jews from persecution in the Mid East. Why in the world would anti Jewish Arabs want to join such an organization or attend a meeting? Maybe they were invited.

AINA interviewed several conference attendees after the event and most said that they were there to discuss the plight of the Christians in Iraq, not the Israel-Hamas conflict, and they resented the senator's attempt to "hijack" the summit.

American Christian wingnuts don't speak for all Christians. They don't seem to grasp that.

Also:

In Defense of Christians President Toufic Baaklini issued the following statement in response to a disruption at the Inaugural Summit Gala Dinner:


As Cardinal Rai so eloquently put it to the attendees of the In Defense of Christians' inaugural Summit gala dinner: 'At every wedding, there are a few wedding crashers.' In this case, a few politically motivated opportunists chose to divide a room that for more than 48 hours sought unity in opposing the shared threat of genocide, faced not only by our Christian brothers and sisters, but our Jewish brothers and sisters and people of other all other faiths and all people of good will.

Tonight's injection of politics when the focus should have been on unity and faith, momentarily played into the hands of a few who do not adhere to IDC's principles. They were made no longer welcome.

When we set out to form In Defense of Christians, many in the foreign policy and faith-based communities said such an effort was impossible. That it would be too difficult to bring such a diverse group of Christian sects, religious and human rights organizations together to draw attention not only to the plight of the deteriorating situation facing our Christians brothers and sisters, but also to the plight of all people of faith, in the Middle East who are suffering.

For more than 48 hours, our initial IDC conference was successfully bridging divides of faith, language, geography and politics. It has not been easy, and not without challenges. Tonight's events make clearer than ever, that the In Defense of Christians is desperately needed in a world that remains divided to the point where even the most fundamental value of life and human dignity are cast aside.

Note that while IDC backs up the claim that it was a few disruptors, they also take a swipe at the asshole Senator from Texas for bringing up the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Wedding crashers? Is it alleged that Cruz wasn't invited or does Toufic Baakilini not understand western concepts like wedding crashers? Was Cruz invited and intentionally disrespected because he is a republican and reminded the IDC of their commitment to Jews? Didn't they review his scripted speech? Nothing else makes any sense unless you consider that it was a setup.

Another possibility is the event planners not understanding their own audience.

"f you will not stand with Israel and the Jews then I will not stand with you"....Ted Cruz. Now that's a politician with balls. Rare in this political climate. Kudos to Senator Cruz.

Did the dirty tricks democrats stack the audience for the IDC event in Washington just to try to embarrass a republican? The IDC took it's name from a letter describing the persecution of the Jews in Germany. The IDC manifest claims that they also represent Jews who are persecuted in the Mid East. Why the hell would they boo a republican who affirms our alliance with the Jewish people unless the IDC was infiltrated by democrat party affiliated hate groups?

As well as other Anti-Semites and Jew haters.

Video: Ted Cruz booed for defending Israel at conference of Middle East Christians

POSTED AT 11:21 AM ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2014 BY ALLAHPUNDIT

In case you haven’t seen it already at the Daily Caller , turns out Palestinian and Lebanese Christians aren’t as pro-Israel as their American counterparts.

How often do you hear about a national pol being booed offstage anywhere and think, “Wow, that’s a big political win for him”? But it is.

“Christians have no greater ally than Israel,” he said, at which point members of the crowd began to yell “stop it” and booed him.

EWTN News Nightly’s Jason Calvi caught the moment on video.

“Those who hate Israel hate America,” he continued, as the boos and calls for him to leave the stage got louder. “Those who hate Jews hate Christians. If those in this room will not recognize that, then my heart weeps. If you hate the Jewish people you are not reflecting the teachings of Christ. And the very same people who persecute and murder Christians right now, who crucify Christians, who behead children, are the very same people who target Jews for their faith, for the same reason.”

The cries of “stop it, stop it, enough,” and booing continued. “Out, out, leave the stage!” At this point IDC’s president, Toufic Baaklini, came out to the stage to ask for the crowd to listen to Cruz, but Cruz had already had enough.​

What a nightmare that would be. He's so damn simple minded and so inexperienced at just about everything. And, he travels with other simpletons ...

 

[whitehall]

Hooray for Senator Cruz. Where are we in the history of the greatest Country in the world when American lefties applaud an insult to an American elected official for reminding hypocrites who enjoy the hospitality of the US of their commitment to an acknowledged ally in the Mid East? "If you do not stand with Israel and the Jews I will not stand with you"...Senator Ted Cruz. Refreshing eloquence from a politician these days.

Ted Cruz Gets Booed Off Stage At Middle East Christian Event

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was booed off the stage at an event hosted by a Christian organization in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night.

The conservative firebrand delivered the keynote address at an event hosted by In Defense of Christians, an organization that raises awareness of persecuted Christian and minority communities in the Middle East. But the audience turned hostile when Cruz said, "Christians have no greater ally than Israel."

"I will say this: I'm saddened to see that some here, not everyone, are so consumed with hate," he said, as more members in attendance began to boo. "I will say this: If you will not stand with Israel and the Jews, then I will not stand with you. Thank you, and God bless you," he said, before walking off the stage.


According to The Daily Caller, IDC Executive Director Andrew Doran then came on the stage and said, "For the love of God, we're here to talk about Christians and we're here to be united."

Watch this version for yourself and then you'll agree with me that Ted is the one.

more than likely
if it had been done to Obama we'd be seeing heads exploding all over the board

This is an example of Ted Cruz in mid-season form!

He's the one.

Republicans just don't have the stomach or the support for dirty tricks the way the democrats do it.

Yeah, that's got to be it.

Is there no end to the lies you RW fools are willing to gobble up in order to avoid just facing FACTS?

As noted above, Cruz the radical RW jackass, misjudged his audience and paid the price for it. If he had been at an anti-American rally, he would have been embraced as a hero.

He was magnificent!

If you want someone to read Dr Suess, I agree.

Anything more complicated would need a hired clown.

 

[whitehall]

Is it proper to call the fund raiser a "christian event"? It is if you are in the propaganda business. Apparently the organization which has taken it's name from Jewish persecution has been hijacked by the freaking jihad. It's the ultimate in hypocrisy when they boo a US Senator for calling for the support of Israel. I've never seen such courage from a US senator in modern times. Hooray for Ted Cruz

Guess who will be warmly greeted when he goes before Jewish potential voters in the 2016 campaign!

That will become one his most famous quotes.

Like Reagan's, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

I wouldn't be surprised to see his foto beginning to be displayed in a place of honor in some American Jewish households.

Other than Joe Lieberman, who in American politics is so clearly committed to the health, peace and prosperity of the State of Israel and all its people?

After word of this performance spreads and this video goes viral, no other name will be bigger to American Jewish voters, I'd bet, than Ted Cruz!
