  • 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 are constantly being brainwashed by liberal media, for instance saying Trump attacked the the Gold Star family of Khan.

here is the two comments by Trump, which don't amount an attack.

" I also have made sacrifices "

"His wife did not speak

An Insult? no

Hey pal, we don't need the liberal media telling us anything when we heard him with our ears.

Sounds like somebody is brainwashed by Trump.

He did attack the mother....shamelessly as a matter of fact.

I heard what I posted, what did you hear ?

As to the mother, he said " she did not speak, maybe their religion, "

Not an attack not even an insult, politics makes mountains out of molehills

I heard what he actually said, and what you posted was a small part of what Trump said. By posting the little bit you posted, you changed the context of what Trump actually said.

You have created a thread and made a conclusion based on out of context words spoken by Trump. Congratulations.

After his nomination, Donald Trump should have assumed the persona of a future POTUS. Which means he should have TOTALLY IGNORED all the barbs and the mud-slinging from all sides, and gone back to the ordinary voters with his original message, and kept hammering it home -- more jobs, better jobs, more safety and security, better safety and security, etc. Instead he undermined himself and probably lost a lot of goodwill for absolutely no reason. WHERE ARE HIS ADVISERS?

We know lying' Hillary is as corrupt as they come, but because of Trump's gaffes and goofs she just might get what she wants. Which would be devastating to America and the world. There is just too much at stake to have this evil woman running the country after lyin' Obama.

Perhaps you will finally understand that Trump wants no advisors. He says what he say because he wants to say it, and nobody will change his mind. He cannot avoid the barbs because he is a thin-skinned little man with a superiority complex.

Face it, Trump will be much worse than Clinton.

Don't forget that what is being referred to as "attacks" are simply answers to questions during an interview with George Stephanopolous. Trump answered what George asked him about what the Muslim father said, and then his answers are labeled as attacks.
BTW, why aren't the comments made during the DNC by the Muslim father of the veteran considered to be attacks?

Remember when Hillary Clinton attacked the mother whose son died in Benghazi?

The whole thing is a set up a scam. They can not get anything on Trump so they are just making up lies in an attempt to make him look bad.

No need to make anything up :)

I must say, I was expecting that to be the route he went down. Well, as much as is possible for him, anyway.

He already has his base, trying to appeal to the middle would be a sensible route to try and increase his vote. That might involve potentially alienating some of his original base, but that doesn't seem to be a massive issue for him.

I really wasn't expecting him to ramp up the rhetoric. Does he think being even Trumpier than he's been so far will win round those confused souls who don't view him favourably already? I really can't see a "no more Mr nice guy" approach gaining him more votes, at least the way he is currently playing it, but it'll be interesting to watch.

Agreed. But Trump, in his arrogance, thought he could teach Khan a lesson. Instead Khan has outsmarted Trump at every turn, it's like watching a cat play with his food, and that's just a guy off the street. Imagine what a savvy politician like Putin could do with Trump.
