  • 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.

There is a perception that many around Trump are using their kids as human shields or window dressing. It's part of their trollish behavior designed to make them look acceptable, and their opponents look dangerous

Even when Vance has young children?

No. I'm not arguing with you or saying you're wrong. I mean...he's still a dad.

Same with Trump.

It's not just me. It's an internet meme.

It's hard to say whether or not the group was out of line without seeing how the interaction started. I've only found one video online and it starts after he's already engaged them.

I generally don't like involving kids, but at the same time, it's hard feeling sorry for a guy who unapologetically pushed lies about immigrants in order to make political hay. If he doesn't like people harassing his family, maybe he should've thought of that before inciting harassment against a bunch of poor people who'd fled political violence in their home country.
