Tea Party poster boy Ted Cruz is the only senator on the taxpayer-funded trip to Nelson Mandela's memorial service with 22 members of Congress, mostly from the Congressional Black Caucus.

Cruz posted a note of condolence on his Facebook page last week, saying Mandela "will live in history as an inspiration for defenders of liberty around the globe".

The December 10 service at the Johannesburg soccer stadium will feature U.S. political luminaries, including President Barack Obama and former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.

He will represent America well at this ceremony. What a terrific guy, probably smarter than that load of congressmen combined.

It covers it in the link.

tl/dr:Tea Party supporters are NOT happy with him over Mandela.

Tom Griffin - Sad to see you feel this way Ted. He was a terrorist. I guess you have only seen the Hollywood movies


George Taylor- Mandella was a terrorist. Plain and simple. Hid regime was brutal. He was not a hero. You have listened to lies. He is nothing or was nothing but a criminal.


Shawn Spade- Go home ted your drunk. He was a communist terrorist who targeted people for no other reason than being white


Paula Mcglothin- He was also a huge supporter of abortion! Don't put him too high up! Careful Mr Cruz.


Bob Ciuffa- Mandela was a white hating killer and his wife continued his tradition. .including torture and immolation of enemies. With Rev. Tutu they tried to help the east Germans in Angola to invade and take over S. Africa. He remained tribal and killed other blacks not of his tribal affiliates. Honoring him is like honoring the Prince of Darkness


Marvin Smith- I'm puzzled why you would salute someone who was proven to be a communist party member????


John W Toewater- Ted, long before you were born, his reputation was the complete opposite. He was, in fact, a terrorist and a criminal, he persecuted and killed Zulus All the apartheid B S you hear in today's media, is all lies


David Frey- Um, yeah, Mandella was a communist and was involved in torture, terror, and murder. Just lost a lot of respect, Senator Cruz. A whole lot.


Ulrich von Ravensburg- Well, Mandela was a murderer and a Communist terrorist, and as a result of his actions, his country transformed from a semi modern state to an impoverished and barbaric wasteland.


Jim Snow- Mr Cruz, I'm sorry to hear you that believe he was a "defender of liberty". Yet another politician afraid to deny the continually perpetrated myth about Mandela and his true intentions


Jenni Doyle- He was a murderer and a Communist. Why are you inspired by this, Ted? Seriously sorry that you feel the need to utter those words about someone such as Mandela. He does nothing and did nothing to deserve any of the propaganda, that has flooded the media today.


Dave Dorman- Ted, please, please,....Mandella was / is a communist revolutionary and his wife is responsible for the gruesome "necklacing" death of scores of blacks in south africa!!!!!!!!!!!!


Anthony Moran- Nelson Mandela was a genocidal terrorist commander armed by the Soviet Union to install Communism in South Africa. Murdered countless people and advocated mass genocide of all white people in Africa.

another disingenuous "look at the comments from interweb dweebs and trolls on this news story!!" thread.

the comments werent even on THIS "story" (which is of course a non-story full of vague insinuations) but rather on some Twatter post last week.

the OP is stretching (credulity and his anal sphincter) to pass this one off as notable.

CNN's vague insinuations:
"Cruz is the ONLY senator on this TAXPAYER FUNDED trip!!!" (republicans LOVE junkets on the taxpayers dime! while of course CNN and the democrats are staunch supporters of fiscal responsibility in washington...)
"Cruz MIGHT be seated next to the ONLY OTHER REPUBLICAN on the trip" (Republicans dont care enough, thats why it's mostly the Black Caucus, because Republicans are RACIST! Alternately: Look at these two Republicans taking a seat that COULD have gone to a good democrat, or a minority, or both!)

etc etc etc.

the whole "story" is fraught with thinly veiled subtext.

OP can eat a sack of dicks, and CNN can lick the bag clean.

Sen. Ted Cruz will be the only member of the U.S. Senate, and one of only two Republicans in Congress, attending the memorial service of civil rights leader Nelson Mandela on Tuesday.


Cruz, a Tea Party lawmaker from Texas, received a firestorm of criticism from some conservatives after he posted a statement about the Nobel Prize-winning human rights activist praising him as “an inspiration for defenders of liberty.”
Some conservatives have criticized the outpouring of praise for Mandela, saying that he sympathized with communism and that was a leader of the revolutionary African National Congress, which condoned violence in its struggle.
Cruz’s statement said: “Because of his epic fight against injustice, an entire nation is now free.”
The congressional delegation will include more than 20 members, most of them Democrats and part of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Fellow Republican Rep. Aaron Schock of Illinois, will be attending on behalf of House Speaker John Boehner.
Looks like FOX is "fraught thinly veiled subtext", too. Teabaggers are pissed at Cruz. So pissed even FOX had to acknowledge it. Sorry I used actual quotes from his Facebook and didn't invent any racist rants.

Nelson Mandela was a communist, what would you expect?
I'm sure few, if any Tea Party members attended democrat senator Robert Byrd's funeral, he was a racist Ku Klux Klan member.

We know that CheezyO the clan man is a left winger, just like you a super hero left winger = Robert Byrd left winger..Go ahead Buck you can use the "N" word while you call my daughter names.. That way it would be easier to get your democratic view of racism out in the open for everyone to see...

Mandela killed 68,000 white people, including children. His original "crime" was only 23 acts of terrorism and suspected in over 150, which included a car bomb meant to disfigure, killing 19 and injuring 217 people. He's a hero! Kill whitey.

He failed. He should have made it to Stain numbers and he would be considered a hero. He was only mildly successful in eliminating the plague called white people. This is no problem. In 100 years it will be hard to find a white person on this planet who isn't a slave or in the process of being beaten to death.

Harry Truman killed lots of innocent people with just a couple of explosions in Japan. Mandela is small time. Car bombs ain't nuthin' when compared to Nukes.
