Coburn: Trump-circulated quote attacking Cruz 'absolute fabrication'
Washington Examiner ^ | 2/16/2016 | Al Weaver

Posted on 02/16/2016 2:20:49 PM PST by icwhatudo

Former Sen. Tom Coburn is angry about being quoted in the latest Donald Trump attack on Ted Cruz.

Coburn called the quote an "absolute fabrication."

As part of his never-ending criticism of Cruz, Trump's Twitter feed retweeted and pushed a quote ostensibly from Coburn criticizing Cruz as "one of the most dishonest people" in Washington. Coburn never said this.

----snip---

Trump retweeted his social media director Dan Scavino, in turn quoting Coburn talking about the Texas senator. "He is, without a doubt, one of the most dishonest people in D.C.," read the quote Scavino attributed to Coburn. However, the quote appears to come directly from progressive website ForwardProgressives.com and writer Allen Clifton, who used the exact language to describe Cruz.

The way to defeat Trump is to out Trump Trump. Stand there and heckle him, call him names, threaten to sue him, pester him back to his Manhattan lib-lair. He is a giant steaming pile of excrement. His lies and attacks on Cruz is beyond the pale. Its WAR!

It’s a known fact that Coburn can’t stand Cruz. By the way any of the 49 senators Cruz works with endorsed him yet?

Jeb was forever tagged as “low energy”! ;-)

A classic!

FWIW, I have a whole path along the creek on the west side of my property lined with Osage Orange. Have a few walking sticks made from it. A very heavy wood, and the orange colored roots are beautiful when they stick up through the leaf cover in early spring while the bluebells are blooming.

I was plowing a path through the snow with my tractor not too long ago, and avoided the side with the osage roots. I think I’ve read that it’s the strongest/heaviest wood in the US, and the source of warclubs in the past for the natives.

Yes....when I was a kid. I spent many a summer in S.Central Kansas..many hedgerows made of Osage Orange...

Known by many names...Bodark, bois d'arc, Hedge Apple....etc...

American Indians..of which I am of the blood...liked to make long bows out of the wood...thus the French name..I believe.

A great wood to turn...into bowls. A very HARD wood..

The Osage Indian...back when they were in the Georgia area..loved the wood for bows and clubs...Thus the name.

I live in Osage County.....and there are many Hedge Apple trees here....You can ruin a chainsaw on one..if you like!!

I favor Black Locust for burning in my furnace, but it is tough on chain saws, too. You’re either sharp or you aren’t cutting. Bought a chain grinder and delinker last year I was running back to the barn so often to resharpen with a round file. And Husquevarna is a good chain saw.

Wonder how the Trmpbots (as opposed to Trump supporters that like him on the issues and other reasons, but but generally honest people) are going to explain this away!?
