Presidential candidate Ted Cruz was shown in a series of 14 photos taken by an American Pravda photographer at a ‘Celebrate the 2nd Amendment' event Saturday afternoon, held at a shooting range in Johnston, Iowa. Out of all the photographs taken, a controversial AP photograph demonstrates how hypocrisy can get guns banned forever.
AP spokesman Paul Colford — the same Colford who defended censoring cartoons of Muhammad in the wake of the Carlie Hebdo slaying — said in a statement late Sunday, “Five of the photos published by AP included images of guns seen on a wall in the background so that it appeared a pistol was pointed at Sen. Cruz's head. The images were not intended to portray Sen. Cruz in a negative light.”
Of course we know the motive was to portray the gun in a bad light as we have come to know that guns have a mind and will of their own. That a picture of a gun would happen to aim itself at Ted Cruz's head proves the point.
Some people found it offensive, not of the suggestive visual, but because American Pravda is agreeing with the motives of the Charleston shooter, Dylann Roof by illustrating their desire to have a violent and tragic event happen to Mr. Cruz — something the AP tacitly denounces, on the one hand, as it fervently howls against the constitutional right to own arms and 'gun violence' on the other.
What better way to win your argument that guns should be banned than by using hypocrisy! As the late great Father Prog once said, "Liberals are immune to choking on their own hypocrisy".
Bravo, American Pravda. Symbolism over substance.

However, if the picture were to have looked like this, there is no doubt in any prole's mind that the outcry from progressives everywhere would be as cacophonous as a Chinese New Year celebration. Undoubtedly, this would be a serious death threat with a deadly weapon. There is no second-guessing here, comrades. This violates every safety concern and oversteps every zero tolerance policy.
But if the picture looked like this, The Lord of the Waitress Sammich™ would have been proud to have realized his life's ambition of securing socialized, single payer healthcare for all. It's a shame he can't see the fruits of his labor.
Another fine example would be our very own Nanski Peloski outgrowing the hypodermic needle for her Botox treatments, in search for something larger.
