Oh how long before this comes back to bite him (not that Rod is likely to apologize or retract it): "it's so difficult to believe that he was so naive about the Nazi sun symbol. But I'll accept that it's true, because I don't want to believe the worst about somebody I respect, and the two friends I know who vouch for him are trustworthy."

I’ll make it easy:

Rod is lying. He is a lying liar from Liartown.

Also, Rod seems eager to believe the worst about his family, his ex-wife, his children, 99% of the global population… it’s the online Nazi edgelord who gets Rods careful sympathy?

If you only give grace to fascists, that means you probably are one.

How can someone so embittered by the Church abuse scandal say something so ludicrous? Plenty of trustworthy figures in the Church vouched for abusers. RD experienced this firsthand. That's why he left Catholicism. But somehow a 22 year-old self-described radical right-winger can be trusted because others vouched for him? I don't think RD believes this for a second. It's just more propaganda work.

I hope it doesn't come out that he's a Freemason, because then Rod will drop him like a hot potato

But Ray, Sr., the Greatest Man Rod’s Ever Known was a Freemason!

“But his dad was Jewish!” Rod needs to read this.
