Because the ones we're upset with aren't debating. They're saying "Thompson said this, therefore he's a wolf in sheeps clothing and you can't say anything otherwise." And if somebody tells them they're wrong they just say "'elp, 'elp, I'm bein' opressed, the Fred mafia is oppressin' me!"
You know why you don't see any debates about Thompson's abortion record? Because it's not debatable. He's solid, and Hunter's supporters who are dealing in truth instead of delusion know that.
I offered up very solid debatable points about what is without argument Fred's position vis a vis abortion, and you ignored them. What's up with that?
By the way, not only is Mr. Thompson out of step with the Republican platform vis a vis applying Fourteenth Amendment protections to the innocent unborn, he also opposes a Human Life Amendment to the Constitution.
