  • 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.

FYI, there's already threads about this. The NYT published fictional short stories in their online book section. The one that has a plot line about assassinating the POTUS does not ever once use Trump's name. There's been a ton of movies, tv shows, stories, written about assassinating presidents. I still don't think they should have done that, especially at this time, but the ruckus is silly. I think there's been more fuss about this than when a newspaper here in Atlanta called for Netanyahu to deploy Mossad agents to assassinate President Obama when he was in office. It wasn't a fictional story or a fantasy. It was calling on him to be assassinated.

I wasnt aware Israel threatened to kill Obama.
Thanks for that info, ill look into it.

As for several threads, i didnt see any.

I agree that this is in poor taste, but me posting it was to show the lengths the MSM go to attack Trump. To divide the country

I would call it out for any other president as well.

The msm needs to stop the rhetoric.

The MSM covers a lot of news sources, left, right and middle. Though Fox News, a MSM source and a fairly good news section, their political division has been at the forefront front of political violent rhetoric.

You're welcome for the info, though you've miscomprehended it.

They are there, regardless as to whether you saw them.

Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to attack his critics & divide the country.

I would call it out for any other president as well.

What this thread is about is a fictional story clearly labeled as such. Trump needs to stop the perpetual divisive rhetoric.
