This goes hand-in-hand with that other story about the “feminist studies” prof stealing a sign from an anti-abortion activist and then assaulting her. The same people who want to convince you that such things don’t matter — people who call themselves journalists — will turn right around and twist the words of somebody they don’t like.

Oh. So, Ted Cruz pointed out that one of the tactics of baby-killing fans is to chant “Hail Satan.” Which is something that has happened. Somehow, when run through the filter at the Associated Press, this is transformed into “That teabagger-favorite Cruz called the good guys Satan worshippers!” Well, no he didn’t.
