  • 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.

Wow, this is unbelievable. This is what happens when when one starts listening to the rhetoric of the left.
You mean like Trump, that was responsible for January 6th. Mel Gibson, Roseanne Bar and Mary Lou Retton, that are all Conservative Christians. That broke laws.

It's not "whataboutism" to point out the flaws of another poster's painting with a broad brush.
"But what about Trump" is not a logical argument. Think about how many times Trump did something and there was a similar "what about Biden" response was given from conservatives. This was no different. A clear deflection from the topic because the topic what not something the poster wants to focus on.

I saw no mention of their political ideology in the article, how did you arrive at that conclusion?

Weird. I just want like walkable cities and high speed rail and healthcare and stuff. What leftist rhetoric are you listening to?

And reading the article, I don’t even know where you get that she’s a leftist at all. That seems to be your own editorializing.

This stuck out at me lol:

While being driven to the Montgomery County Jail, Tadlock appears to take issue with one officer's heritage.

"You can't speak straight because you have an accent from another country," she says.

When he tries to inform her of her rights, she remarks, "That's because ICE hasn't picked you up yet."
That doesn’t sound very leftist anti-ICE to me.

Mainly she just sounds like a really angry drunk person trying to be as mean as she can to the cops that arrested her that night.

It's a good thing, then, that that wasn't the entirety of post #6.

Perhaps you should re-read the thread a bit. By this standard, it was the comment blaming this on "the rhetoric of the left" that took things off-topic. Pointing out that the right engages in a bunch of bad rhetoric (including some that's anti-police) undermines the claim that this is a left thing.

What's the point of this? A drunk lashes out at police while being arrested? How is this anything of import?
Somehow it’s become of leftist rhetoric, despite there being no reference to that in the article and nothing articulated by the drunk in question that ties her to leftists.

It's also more than a bit questionable to assume that a nurse in Texas is an ACAB-style leftist.

It's weird. As if people never had reasons other than "leftism" to hate cops. First there is the racism that is common. (Don't know if the person is non-white. Didn't read article or watch video.) Second there is the reality that a significant fraction of cops seem to be on the job because they like having authority over people. Third there is the pattern of police corruption and police inaction, but most importantly:

People being caught red handed for blatantly breaking the law sometimes lash out at and during their arrests. This lady sounds like she was pretty wasted.
