  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Legitimate Political Discourse? Really?

Since the left side of the political aisle doesn't consider damage to property "violence"....which is odd considering that so many of them consider silence to be violent.....I find it telling that they consider this an "insurrection" and not a "99% peaceful protest" with just a handful of bad actors?

Interesting take on it. I don't believe I've read many (if any) folks on the Left who think property destruction in riots is a "good" thing. But I'll grant that they probably got less bent about it than they did when they saw the Gravy Seals storming the Capitol and shouting things indicative of a desire to murder the Vice President in order to overturn a free and fair election.

That might be a double-standard: not being happy with violent riots but definitely being UNHAPPY about an attempted violent overthrow of the US government.

The RNC censured Liz Cheney and Kinzinger for participating in a committee to investigate the January 6 insurrection.

Is this "discourse?"

2500 rioters assaulting Capitol police (injuring 138), vandalizing property, occupying the building?
There is no justification for the Capitol attack, and even less for the RNC coverup attempt.
The coverup is of the fact that it was a false flag, Antifa led, scheme straight from the corrupt leaders of the DNC.

It was apparently even covered up from the people who attacked the Capitol after Donald told them to fight for their country or lose it, given how many of them say they were following his orders. Quite the conspiracy when even the people involved in it don't know about it.

Now that's just insulting to the efforts of good MAGA men and women who attempted to beat a Capitol Police Officer to death with a fire extinguisher.

They worked REALLY HARD! Don't try to take from them their only accomplishment in a lifetime of failure!

The whole thing has been exposed by actual news organizations as a false flag -

I’ve seen the videos of MAGA supporters telling Antifa thugs dresses with Trump paraphernalia to stop breaking into the capital - I’ve seen the video of capital police removing the bicycle racks being used as barricades and waving Antifa in MAGA clothing into the building.

And Antifa jumped the gun - when they started the fake riot, Trump was a twenty minute walk away from the capitol, still giving his speech, with his followers listening.

Pelosi is blocking release of all security cam videos from the incident, and won’t release it under the freedom of information act, claiming DC is exempt from it.

They don’t want the truth out, they want to keep their false narrative going, continuing to claim it was an insurrection and attempted coup (yeah, right - the world’s first unarmed coup), even after the FBI admitted otherwise:

WASHINGTON, Aug 20 (Reuters) - The FBI has found scant evidence thatthe Jan. 6 attackon the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.

attempted violent overthrow of the US government.
Come now it was far from an attempted violent overthrow of the US Government. In the terms of violence it was nothing compared to previous riots of this period. As far as an overthrow of the Government, surely you jest.

Thanks for setting it up for me to prove that lies are being told to us - here’s CNN reporting that officer Sicknick died from a stroke, and had NO blunt force trauma, and was not hit by a fire extinguisher:
Officer Sicknick suffered strokes and died of natural causes, DC medical examiner says - CNNPolitics

Excerpts from CNN article:

1. Washington (CNN)US Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick suffered strokes and died of natural causes one day after responding to the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol, Washington DC's chief medical examiner has determined.

2. Determining what happened to Sicknick on January 6 has been a focus of the Capitol riot investigation for months.
Initially, the Capitol Police said in a statement he died "due to injuries sustained while on-duty," and prosecutors were pursuing a murder investigation.
Government leaders, including from the White House and the acting House Sergeant at Arms, acknowledged he died in the line of duty, and then-acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen said Sicknick "succumbed" to injuries "he suffered defending the U.S. Capitol."
"The FBI and Metropolitan Police Department will jointly investigate the case and the Department of Justice will spare no resources in investigating and holding accountable those responsible," Rosen said in the days after the attack.

But by February, the investigation had stalled because of lack of evidence of any fatal injury, CNN previously reported.
By that time, medical examiners had not found signs of blunt force trauma -- dispelling reports that Sicknick had been struck by a fire extinguisher -- and were still looking at the possibility of a preexisting medical condition or whether he became ill after being hit with the bear spray.

I don't believe this claim. And given it is presented without any evidence, there's not much more to say.

And Antifa jumped the gun - when they started the fake riot

Same here

Uh huh, sure.

They don’t want the truth out, they want to keep their false narrative going, continuing to claim it was an insurrection and attempted coup (yeah, right - the world’s first unarmed coup), even after the FBI admitted otherwise:

Attempting to change the subject not even a post into the defense of previously empty claims doesn't really give me much confidence in those claims' truthfulness.

I think I saw that story on ISN (Imaginary Shocking News Channel).

Gosh. That sounds....SHOCKING. Hmmmm.

You don't say!

Well let's say they didn't see any reason to stop or prevent it.

But I'll grant that they probably got less bent about it than they did when they saw the Gravy Seals storming the Capitol and shouting things indicative of a desire to murder the Vice President in order to overturn a free and fair election.

Uh huh. It's definitely the story they were told.

That might be a double-standard: not being happy with violent riots but definitely being UNHAPPY about an attempted violent overthrow of the US government.

And yet only one of those things got innocent people killed.

You should watch actual news and not just assume your fever dreams are reality.

And yet only one of those things got innocent people killed.

The January 6th rioter who was shot and killed wasn't really "innocent".

You know what DID get an innocent killed? A white supremacist driving a car into a crowd in Charlottesville. I guess the Radical Right has a lot of blood on their hands, eh?

Ahem...

The suspect in the Waukesha parade tragedy faces more than 70 new charges

If I want to avoid a white supremacist who might run me over....I just have to avoid their protests.

If I want to avoid a BLM supporter from running me over? I guess avoid any crowds of white people.

I guess Oath Keepers are all Antifa false flag actors then. They even knew we'd get to see their private messages where someone asked that they'd heard it was Antifa and their leader replied that there were only patriots there. And he'd kept the act up for years!

Rhodes told people that those who gathered at the Capitol were not members of antifa, the loosely organized anti-fascism movement. Asked by an associate who was in the mobs storming the Capitol, Rhodes replied: "Actual Patriots. [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]ed off patriots. Like the Sons of Liberty were [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]ed off patriots."

That's from Reuters, saw the quotes originally from another source.

Lemme guess, your "actual news organisations" is a blogger from somewhere?
