[[The fact that anyone would draw serious concern over this shows them only to be petty, jealous, and vindictive. No thanks. ]]
Exactly- it’s called manufactured outrage=- it’s what the left does so well
[[She *knows* that quoting from a movie isnt plagiarism, she *knows* that Cruz didnt insult Trumps wife, she *knows* that Cruz didnt cheat in Utah, she *knows* that Cruz didnt blame Trump for the Brussels attacks, and so on. And yet she is driven to dismiss truth and promote lies in an effort to support her candidate.]]
Bears repeating- It’s called bearing false witness- I don’t use the term lightly as many people abuse the term and apply it to situations when it shouldn’t be- but what we are witnessing on FR lately is exactly that- bearing false witness- (and yes, when one keeps posting smear articles that are known to be false, one can’t claim innocence when it’s clear the intention is to smear)
bearing false witness is an attempt to destroy someone by lying about what they say or do- by manufacturing faux outrage for the sake of tearing down someone they disagree with- Or even contributing to an atmosphere of vitriol by constantly posting smear articles based on lies EVEN After Ted has come out and explained he did not infact do the things he’s being accused of-
Like you say- passion for a candidate is fine- but when it devolves into smearing the opposition by bearing false-witness- that’s hitting below the belt-
Well said, Bob434. I totally agree with you.
More name calling substituting for debate. Lame.
That kind of avoids the question at hand.
What would you call a campaign ad showing your wife naked?
Not that I care, but it was a Trump tweet - name calling - that started it all. Please, a Trump supporter is the last person I'd expect to hear saying "name calling does not make for good debate."
Whether that's a good thing or bad thing is pretty much up to you.
Of course once again in your last comment you suggest that all Trump supporters are name callers ... and you pull the 7 year old's favorite 'he started it' thing.
You're just not thinking things through, you're being reactive. You think your dislike for Trump puts you in control. He needs people like you, you're what he grips his feet and hands on to climb. It's fun to watch, and instructive.
Just know that you're being used. Some but not all of his supporters are being used ... but all of you who have been taken outside of a coherent thinking process to stoop to his act - and it is an act of which he is in total control ... are serving him well.
Here is what you said: More name calling substituting for debate. Lame.
Go play semantic games with someone else, or go sue Cruz for plagiarism embedded in casual speech to make himself look good. And here's the thing: I really, really, really, really, really think Trump is an ass. Of course, I'm not calling him names or anything.
But I want to play semantic games with YOU!
But Trump bares his ass for all to see, he's not arrogant, not prideful.
You and Cruz wear skirts over yours, you think it makes you look pretty, but it's totally dishonest.
