Root is obviously an Israel Firster and an America Seconder so it is hardly surprising he’d say something bigoted like that.

I’ll believe Root once Kubby backs him up. One of them has credibility, the other used to embrace killing Muslims until partway through his own primary campaign.

Huh.

I was there too, for a lot of the conversation. What I saw was my friend Treg doing the usual libertarian thing of telling someone else how to do it the way he would, and misunderstanding my friend Wayne’s explanations of why he doesn’t do it Treg’s way, taking the explanations as argument instead of discussion.

I didn’t hear anything close to the quote alleged above, but I did see Treg vigorously shake Wayne’s hand in a big show of agreement on a Middle-east point.

Overall, I didn’t get the sense that Treg was listening to Wayne, and felt unheard himself.

I like both of these guys personally. They’re both pack leaders, and maybe one of them was bothered by the other’s refusal to yield. We get a lot of that around here.

“Iâ€™m inclined to believe Root.”

Or at least Kubby.

Do those cockroaches shovel dung?

Actually, I’m inclined to believe Root.
