Shameless liar Ted Cruz: Planned Parenthood killer is a transgender leftist activist

http://www.occupydemocrats.com/shameless-liar-ted-cruz-planned-parenthood-killer-is-a-transgender-leftist-activist/

In the latest and most disgusting case of Republican justification of Friday’s terrorist attack on a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, presidential candidate Ted Cruz claimed yesterday that the suspect, Robert L. Dear, was a “transgendered leftist activist.” Cruz made the deceitful and disgraceful comments during a campaign stop in Iowa, in which he also criticized the “vicious rhetoric on the left blaming those who are pro-life.” One has to wonder whether Ted Cruz is so totally delusional as to believe that a “leftist activist” who “blames” pro-lifers would attack a Planned Parenthood clinic or if he is simply a scheming demagogue who knows he can continue to inculcate the Republican base with malicious lies.

And, given Cruz’s history of smearing Planned Parenthood, we can only assume that it is the latter. Cruz has, along with the now criminally silent Carly Fiorina, been a loud critic of Planned Parenthood and has endorsed the long-discredited story of Planned Parenthood harvesting baby parts. He has even gone as far as to call Planned Parenthood an “ongoing criminal enterprise,” which is not out of character for a Republican party that somehow sees healthcare provision as evil. Indeed it is precisely “vicious rhetoric” like this on the part of Republican extremists that fuels the delusions of people like Dear and is ultimately responsible for the deadly terrorist attack. And yet, in a 180 degree fact-reversal that would make Stalin proud, Cruz has somehow managed to shift the blame to “leftists.”

use the LGBT community as scapegoats.

Seems transgender folk are the new main target of choice for the dark side.

Co-opting the so called "religious" ilk just makes me want to hurl. Fiorina plucking their emotional heartstrings with "harvest it's brain" that drew applause from the numbskulls, but she didn't go far enough. "We have to keep it alive to harvest it's brain, and preserve the rest to cook with carrots and potatoes". There. That would make it all believable.
