Ted Cruz Is Celebrating Super Tuesday at an Extreme Racist's Bar

http://gawker.com/ted-cruz-is-celebrating-super-tuesday-at-an-extreme-rac-1762297955

Tonight’s primary results have been a mixed bag for Ted Cruz, presidential candidate and corpse recently fished out of a swimming pool. But that won’t stop his campaign from partying at the “Redneck Country Club,” a Texas venue owned by an astoundingly racist radio host.

...

This may or may not shock you, but the Redneck Country Club is owned by an extreme, open racist by the name of Michael Berry, who hosts a racist radio program that includes a blackface “comedian” named “Dr. Rev. Shirley Q Liquor,” who provides a routine of vile black stereotypes for Berry’s white listeners


People keep telling me the GOP isn't full of racists. That "both sidezzzz!!!11!!1!" are equally as bad.

I just tell anyone who says that to me, "Whatever helps you sleep at night."

I listen to his program a lot (I enjoy RW radio).

He very often makes a "black woman's voice" and does "oops steam cleaning" commercials. He tries to play it off like he grew up in a black neighborhood, but it's like saying you have a black friend.

I'm a white male who RARELY says a person is racist (I don't think Trump is). I've been to the bar before. It was all white.

For Cruz to hold his speech there shows he's a spoiler not a front runner.
