WND birther lets Cruz off the hook...

The worst part about this Faux "news" contributor and WND birther?

Take a look at him:



But in this article, he lets Ted Cruz off the hook for having been born in Canada, while continuing to falsely say Obama was "born in Kenya."

Birther Erik Rush 'Won't Even Go There' On Ted Cruz's Eligibility
Topic: WorldNetDaily

We've documented how WorldNetDaily, which has been aggressively birther (to the point of refusing to acknowledge undisputed facts) regarding Barack Obama's eligibility to be president, is doing its best to avoid the issue when it comes to Ted Cruz. Add Erik Rush to the list, in an Oct. 2 WND column touting Cruz's presidential prospects:

Ted Cruz looks like a white guy, but he’s not – which is a non-issue to people who judge character over color. After all, our president looks like a black guy, but he’s not, and few of us make any bones about that. There are also questions with regard to Cruz’s eligibility for the office (having been born in Canada), but given the history of this issue on the same subject with regard to President Obama, I won’t even go there.

Why not, Erik? By all accounts, Cruz is even less eligible to be president than Obama since he was documented to be born outside the U.S. to a non-citizen father. Or does Cruz's right-wing politics mitigate those eligibility questions you thought were so important regarding Obama?

Nor does it matter that his father was not a citizen. Cruz was not born in the US.

Point out Barack Obama's mother was born in Kansas, and you get the old "Ah, screw him- he's a Kenyan Muslim, absolutely ineligible"... etc.
