Tea partier at Ted Cruz town hall: ‘Canada is not really foreign soil’

[Galraedia]

Even so-called birthers who falsely believe that President Barack Obama was Kenyan born and not a legitimate U.S. citizen seem to think that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) won’t have the same problem because “Canada is not really foreign soil.”

The Texas Tribune caught up with on of those birthers, Republican voter Christina Katok, at a tea party rally where Ted Cruz was speaking earlier this week.

Katok said that she never thought Obama met the constitutional standard of “natural born” citizen because, she reasoned incorrectly, that he was born in Kenya. The president was born in Hawaii and has released his birth certificate to prove it.

Earlier this week, Cruz released his Canadian birth certificate to The Dallas Morning News, proving that he was definitely born in a foreign country to an American mother.

Could he be any more of a douchebag?

[Xipe Totec]

4. She. nt

[City Lights]

7. Haha, oops.

[Xipe Totec]

16. I've done worse and survived.

[sakabatou]

3. There are still fucking birthers?

[NutmegYankee]

34. You didn't think their racism was going to go away after the long form was released did you?

That's why their birthers in the first place.

[MoonRiver]

5. Yeah, Canada is just so much less foreign than Hawaii!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Oh, really? So when did we annex Canada?

Or is it just that Canada has mostly white people who speak English and therefore they aren't really foreign (except for those French ones up in Quebec).

[Squinch]

8. Shall we overtly provide the revolting subtext for that thought process?

The one that includes the part about how "Canadians look like us?"

What a pig.

[winter is coming]

9. I guess he took geography lessons from Sarah Palin. n/t

[Initech]

11. He can see Canada from his house?

[winter is coming]

12. From his outhouse, I'd say, given all the shit he spews. n/t

[Enrique]

10. thank you Ted Cruz

Ms. Katok is just one of many, think of all the thousands of racist hypocrites that are going to be exposed beyond all doubt over the next few years as Cruz runs for President.

[Cali_Democrat]

13. The stupid

it fucking burns.

[unblock]

14. hawaii is foreign soil (obama is black); canada is not really foreign soil (cruz is white)

simple.

[VanillaRhapsody]

15. because most Canadians are White....they are not even trying anymore...

[Mika]

17. Didn't these Canadians of British heritage burn down the White House in 1814? eom

[bluestate10]

20. We also fought against Canada for our Independence. Bithers are beyond insane at this time.

I want them to keep it up, because every word that comes out of their mouths repulse sane voters.

[Art_from_Ark]

28. No, those were regular British soldiers

who were retaliating for the American attack on the city of York, Ontario.

[Gothmog]

18. Juanita Jean is having fun with this story

http://juanitajean.com/2013/08/23/you-know-because-theyre-white-and-everything/

[bluestate10]

19. Yeah. We essentially fought a war against Canada for out independence.

Canada is part of the British Crown. Are the birther clowns saying that we should bow to the Queen?

[PowerToThePeople]

21. They are not even real country anyway.

[snooper2]

22. I'm kind of tired of one idiot's comment becoming a "story"

Yo RawStory-


Take some of your ad money-

Go to www.monster.com

and put a listing up for a real journalist please-

[madinmaryland]

23. Fucking idiots. They don't even realize that if Canada was part of the US, the Senate would be a

permanent Democratic majority and the House would be pushed over to Democratic majority!! Imagine having French speakers in the Senate and House.

Stupid fucking teabaggers.

[Link Speed]

24. Oh, but Mexico is, eh?

Jeebus, what a crank

[MiniMe]

25. You still need a passport to go back and forth between Canada and the US

At least you do now, you didn't used to need one

[ck4829]

26. As in, it's full of white people. They should just cut out the middleman and say that.

[CTyankee]

27. so happy to hear that! We're going to Montreal in October, so we don't have to use our passports!

Hubby is real happy to find that out!

Whew, one less thing to worry about...

[spanone]

29. this is what's known as blatant racism.

[walkerbait41]

30. Dumbass republican teabaggers.....but

Can I get some of that Canadian health care now

[cherish44]

31. This is exactly why they don't want people to be educated

Uneducated white people are the biggest block in America and they're mostly R's

[AsahinaKimi]

32. So let me get this straight....Tea baggers claim

Canada is really American soil while Hawaii is a foreign nation???

Baka! Doji! Manuke!

[djean111]

33. So - Mexico must not be foreign soil, either.

[nadinbrzezinski]

35. Oh but it is...it's full of brown people

Some (the majority) are catholic even. I wish I were kidding

[djean111]

36. Yeah, I know.

But I would have loved to hear the explanation or, and I use the term loosely, the reasoning behind that statement. Because you know it is the whiteness, not the proximity.

[nadinbrzezinski]

37. And not catholic

Miscegenation and the fear of it is very real still. Less among the young, but still there.
