The guy who took the photos is Charlie Neibergall. Here is a sampling of his work:Hillary ClintonRick PerryRick SantorumIt’s obvious from these images that AP has it in for Hillary & should apologize for their bias. Or, maybe Cruz & his staff should pay more attention to the backdrop when he speaks…
It was an inflammatory image and it may even have been intentional but that is what any candidate has to expect. I believe in an unfettered press and they can present what they like.
Those of you who want the AP to apologize should consider WHO would be in charge of policing the press if we decided they needed more oversight.
Sen. Cruz made jokes about gun control being “hitting your target” over the weekend. I’m sure it’s part of his usual script, like pretending that just saying “Joe Biden” is hilariously funny. He doesn’t know to take these things out of his speech when Joe Biden’s son dies and the nation is grieving. Or when a racist nutjob exhibits “gun control” by killing nine upstanding Americans. Ted Cruz is a cruel and heartless goofball, and thank God he will never be president.
I admire Americans who appreciate GUNS….after all, we would not have founded a Nation of Liberty without guns.-America could not have become 50 States without guns.Every war that kept America from being defeated and replaced with inferior forms of government depended on guns.-What ails any person born or naturalized into US citizenship,that today faces external and (FBI claims) INTERNAL threats of being defeated and replaced by totalitarian Sharia Law, be demanding repeal of the 2nd Amendment and strict “gun control”??? (Surrender Monkeys?)
I doubt there’s a way to paint any of the candidates in a good light. They are all terrible on both sides of the aisle. But that doesn’t mean the media needs to help things along. The candidates are fully capable of disappointing us on their own. The media should just report the facts. Not arrange them so as to promote one candidate over the other. And before someone starts up, yes that most assuredly includes Fox News.
Extremely false assumption Mr. PainterArt. Considering the numbers of concealed carry licenses issues in the last 10 years odds are you are never more than a a few dozen feet from a firearm at any time you are in public. When was the last time one was pointed at you??
“Haven’t been paying attention to what ISIS says?Or any of the demonstrations by Islamic groups in the past few years?”ISIS is not a mortal threat to the United States & there are no Muslim groups of any importance in the US calling for Sharia law to replace the Constitution.There are far more Christians who insist that our nation was founded on Christian doctrines & that the Constitution should be viewed as a document backed by biblical law. They insist that their religious views should be backed by our laws.http://kirkcameron.com/u-s-constitution-and-biblical-principles/http://www.faithfacts.org/christ-and-the-culture/the-bible-and-governmenthttp://www.wnd.com/2012/08/america-a-christian-nation-like-it-or-not/
Now post Washington D.C. statistics (#1) and denote the difference between the gun laws in the various states. I’m led to believe that there is not that much.
@RasDaoud….Shar’ia Law….pushed by immigrant Muslims in the USA….and you had no idea? Sure….-by John Nolte24 Jun 2015/on www.Breitbart.com“The Center for Security Policy released a poll Tuesday that should give all Americans pause. The results show that a startling number of American Muslims, our fellow citizens, agree that violence is a legitimate response to those who insult Islam. A full majority of 51% “agreed that “Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to shariah.”
“According to the just-released survey of Muslims, a majority (51%) agreed that “Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to shariah.” When that question was put to the broader U.S. population, the overwhelming majority held that shariah should not displace the U.S. Constitution (86% to 2%). …
“Even more troubling, is the fact that nearly a quarter of the Muslims polled believed that, “It is legitimate to use violence to punish those who give offense to Islam by, for example, portraying the prophet Mohammed.”
“A full 25% of those polled agreed that “violence against Americans here in the United States can be justified as part of the global jihad.”
“For those who don’t know, Sharia Law is nothing less than the Nazi-ification of a religion. Sharia authorizes murder against non-believers who won’t convert, horrific oppression of women, the execution of gays, the extermination of Jews, and the beheading of anyone who draws Muhammad.
“Currently anywhere from 3 million to 7 million Muslims live in America.”-It is historic strategy for Muslims to move into a foreign nation and then demand Shar’ia Law for themselves (to override the laws on the books, which in America are based on the Judea-Christian principles derived from the Bible), and later demand a 100% switch to Shar’ia Law only!

At least they didn’t use the word “targeting” on a map of Congressional districts like Sarah Palin did. Now THAT would incite killing.

If everyone has guns and can carry then it is only a matter of time before you have one pointed at you.
