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.

Shawna Thomas, appearing on ABC News' "This Week," said a lot of protesters were "normal people who were mad" about Kavanaugh's nomination. However, she also added that "we also saw people who were organized." She singled out one of the women who confronted Flake on Sept. 28, saying that one of them worked for the advocacy group UltraViolet and "was paid" to "steer people in the right ways to be able to confront senators."

Some anti-Kavanaugh protesters were paid to help make 'viral moments,' Vice News editor says

Just another organized political stunt

Why can't things just be real and what they are? We have major news media outlets that manufacture or steer news... and we have paid protesters who are there to make whatever is being protested look like he nation is up in arms about it when usually they aren't. Very frustrating and sad.

Why does it have to be either/or type thinking? People get involved and mobilized with activist projects because they are mad.

It is like the NRA pays money into the campaign funds of members of Congress who vote against gun control laws that would make the streets safer and lower the murder rate. They pay members of both parties, but the Republican party has more notoriety in this respect.

Senator Susan Collins (R) was on 60 Minutes (CBS) last night. She said an interested party offered her $2 million dollars for her to vote certain way on the confirmation of Kavanaugh.

Special interest groups tried to buy politicians. Hundreds of women protesting against Kavanaugh were not paid a dime.

'Fifty years after left wing riots during the Chicago Democratic National Convention handed an election issue and victory to Richard M. Nixon, the Left has handed a similar opportunity to President Trump in his efforts to maintain control of the House of Representatives and enhance the GOP Senate majority.

Even before the disgraceful demonstrations on Saturday, with fanatics in the Senate Gallery sequentially screaming in an effort to disrupt a vote whose outcome they didn’t like, and before demonstrators broke through police lines and pounded on the doors of the Supreme Court’s Temple of Justice, President Trump spoke out against “mob rule” in his Topeka, Kansas rally on Friday.'

The Republicans will pick up a few more seats in the Senate next month. Amy Coney Barrett will be the next Supreme Court justice before the Presidential election in 2020.

I don't see how that's possible, considering the president's popularity is one of the lowest in history and he produces strong reactions.

Either/or Kindergarten level thinking is the staple of certain political arguments...

The reality is very simple. You have a ton of people who feel strongly about an issue, they mobilize... and "part" of ANY mobilization effort involves money.

Think back to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s. Remember the Freedom Riders? Remember all those people who got on buses, traveled thousands of miles in order to be beaten by police for Civil Rights?

Well, according to modern Right-Wing Arguments, those groups were disingenuous because they were paid. You see, it takes money to get the buses, the hotels, the lawyers, take care of medical bills... and hey, since money is involved "obviously" the protesters are paid actors right???

This is quite simply delusional thinking. Republicans in deep red States are "barely" winning in elections where they traditionally win by 20+ points. Republicans will lose every election in every purple State or region.

THe only Republicans that are relatively safe are those in deep Red States were people would sooner lose an eye than vote Democrat. But in Purple or slightly purple Regions, the GOP should be shaking in their boots.

I don't think its absolutely certain of course, but it's a reasonable certainty that Republicans will not hold the majority in the Senate.

So lobbyist that are very well paid advocates are just a 'stunt'? People who work for Pro-life groups who organize and put on marches, etc. are just a 'stunt'? What about the group that secretly filmed Planned Parenthood, was that just a 'stunt'?
Hmm...

I suspect there may be enemy bots here this morning doing their best to inflame and polarize our country further. :sorry: And we know who the real enemy is.

No, please tell us. I'm all ears.
