  • 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.

I thought I’d start a repository for some of the more disgusting attacks on Mamdani. Not stuff about his being a socialist, but rather stuff that doesn’t have anything to do with his policies. Here’s one from Rudy Giuliani:

I agree that's silly. Mamdani's not going to fly a plane into a building (I don't think). They don't use the same tactics twice. He's going to destroy buildings through rent control, which as soon as implemented, will immediately begin to cause rental buildings to become dilapidated and rat-infested and make tenants' lives miserable just as NYC rent freezes always have. ("The definition of insanity..."). I myself may suffer as it's possible many of those tenants may move to where I am, as the Californians do, and their terrible memories will lead them to vote for Communists again. ("The definition of insanity...")

You think his goal is to destroy the city as part of an Islamic jihad motivation?

It seems that some of the relevant online content will post itself here.

Will you also track anti-communist bigotry and have a measure of comparison?

No one is stopping you from starting a thread. You'll have to read the RW sites as those are the only ones talking about Mamdani and communism. (Calling Mamdani a communist isn't "anti-communist bigotry" unless you think the commies will be offended to be associated with Mamdani.)

I don't think that. I KNOW that. It's my job to know. I'm with the CIA, but please don't tell that to anyone else here.
Pretty sick, man.
I gave you an Agree rating, because I'm sure you're talking about the post, not the poster.

............... well, you asked for it. Here's my contribution. :eek: :D

It started nice, but then degenerated into a disco/pop/synth beat. There was a reason we didn't listen to this stuff...

Mamdani appears smiling, arm-in-arm with unindicted ‘93 WTC bombing co-conspirator and terrorist apologist


The Democratic frontrunner to become the city’s next mayor was seen laughing and grinning while standing arm-in-arm with Siraj Wahhaj at the imam’s Bedford-Stuyvesant mosque in a photo the socialist posted to X a day after the first mayoral debate.​
Why is that problematic? Do you believe that when you appear in a picture with someone it means you automatically share all their values?

A lot of these same people will then ignore or dismiss pictures of Trump laughing and partying it up with his old buddy Jeff.

Ha!

I suppose they may be honored by the association. And maybe he is also honored by the association. I wonder. Time will tell.
