  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

She presented the claim as likely being true with nothing but heresay to back it up. It would be like me claiming cold shots may give people cancer because someone at a football game told me their kid had it happen.
The concern would be over whether or not the person was forced to get the cold shot. Noting too that a lot of time, energy and money was spent over claims that children's vaccines caused autism

People are forced to wear seat belts as well -- if I pass along a rumor that seat belts cause prostate cancer, can we get them repealed?

Perhaps you should pay less attention to the time, energy, and money, and more attention to the results.

Give it your best shot. :D:D:D

Shall we do the same for the HPV vaccine?

The results are already pretty clear -- there is no link to autism.

Shouldn't people forced to get the HPV vaccine have the same kind of confidence?

They have the same kind of facts -- they would have the same kind of confidence if the likes of Bachmann would stop spreading lies.

It's already been demonstrated that Bachmann didn't lie. :wave:

Perhaps others should stop spreading lies about her

We're claiming that Bachmann took the claim and ran with it.

I'm going to claim that Bachmann took something that might or might not have been said to her and spun it through her crazy centrifuge to come up with the insane claptrap she told Matt Lauer.

Whatever M0 and her other apologists want to spin that as, good for them.

The facts don't support a single syllable of the words that came out of her mouth that morning. If her defenders want to claim she was speaking "truth" that says more about them than it does her, reality or those who are taking Rep. Bachmann to task for making crazy statements.

"Shouldn't people forced to get the HPV vaccine have the same kind of confidence?"

People who get the HPV vaccine - mandated or not - have 100% confidence that Rep. Bachmann was repeating a lie (assuming she didn't make the story up herself) when she averred that said vaccine caused or causes "mental retardation" or as apologist GJL claims strokes that cause brain damage that result in "mental retardation".

She was not willing to challenge the corpocracy; Bauchmann politics: hope for dependency.

What turnout do you expect from Rand Paul? Lindsey Kolb states none due to his sensational ploys.

2016 Presidential Watch: The Reality - TheCollegeConservative

Now that I can post links (I just reached 50 posts) this kind of stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5ZDDs7w1Pc is going to make him very popular. He's funny, somewhat witty, and can speak well (unlike his father.) His positions and ideas aren't as good as Ron Paul's or Gary Johnson's, but he is the best republican we currently have. I would definitely say he's electable, but yes, he def has room for improvement.
