You can more easily make a case that Teddie knew his fathre's words and approved of them than Obama knew of the Reverend's. That said, the MSM will ignore this.

But seriously. Wright was a made-up problem, while with Cruz we have the guy's actual father saying that Cruz will become king and get everyone's money.

But of course, since this kook is a white conservative, and his father, any criticism of him will be decried as an attack on Christianity itself.

If he is held to the same standard as Obama. But who am I kidding? The media will never hold him to the same standard.

Obama was allegedly influenced by any leftie he or his mother came into contact with. Even sitting in the same room was enough for Obama to imbibe the communism! and the Muslim-ness!

But watch Teddy skate on what his own father would have influenced him with.
