Lakeshark starts it off with a few backhand slaps drawing principled people who choose not to be slandered in silence to respond in self-defense. This enables the posse, this time personified by fantasy writer, to join in and say in effect, "see what a Trump hater he is." Fantasy writers allegations on this thread are typical. In one breath she lies and says, "When you are parroting Hillary's lines to minimize Trump's victories and successes, you undercut your claim not to hate him. If it walks like a duck.."
For the record, I have never knowingly quoted Hillary's lines and never sought out purposely to minimize Trump's victories. That may, of course, have been the unavoidable result of telling the truth.
She compounds the liable by referring to some bizarre group about which I have absolutely no knowledge as though I am responsible for whatever some allegedly Soros funded group says:
Red alert: ShariaBlue caught posting fake rumors about Bannon/Kushner all over pro Trump channel. The goal is to alienate Trump's populist activist base.
It is bad enough to have to defend oneself against what one did not say as shown above but the next tactic is to require the victim to defend himself against precisely the opposite of what he did say:
Most recently in posts #75 fantasy writer accuses me of opposing Trump for his bombing in Syria when precisely the opposite is true. I supported Trump and even said in a recent post, "I applaud him."
Of course, the personal swipe is never completely neglected by these people as fantasy writer cannot refrain from accusing me by innuendo of being a racist.
Your expression "flame bait" is an appropriate way to describe what has been going on here for months. I would like nothing better than to take your admonition to "move on" but one cannot do so under this sort of really scurrilous attack and expect to be taken seriously.
Fortunately, events are opening the eyes of many fellow conservatives concerning Donald Trump when he departs from his promises or when he governs as something other than a conservative. Events are alerting them to the tactics we see here.
