Ranger12 46 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 With the 2008 elections getting closer, this forum is going to start heating up again. As a moderator, I advise that if you are going to make bold statements about a candidate in the political forum, you need to have the links to where you are getting the info and back up what you are saying. Also, whatever you find over the internet, be careful of the credibility of the info or else you are goind to just look plain silly. So please remember to check your references and keep a civil tongue. Remember, whatever side we take politically, we are still Americans and most of us are still members of the family. Thank you.

AURaptor 1,126 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 So, folks now need a 'link' to back up their opinions? But only if it's a credible link, you say ? Looks like the Fairness Doctrine has already been put into practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger12 46 Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 Yeah, what the heck do we need to be fair for? Having an opinion is one thing, but if you are going to make a bold statement, such as saying a candidate is part of a radical group, etc....then it is best you have something to back it up with or else you are going to look stupid. I did not say lack of linkage would be moderated, but it was just a suggestion on how to debate intelligently and maintain some credibility as you debate. If you are going to provide a link, again it is all about credibility. If you post a link from some "way out there"site, then you best be ready to get fired upon.

AURaptor 1,126 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 So, if someone, ( not me ) says something like Hillary Clinton is involved in organized cat juggling and also routinely rips those " do not remove under penalty of law " tags off of mattresses, I'd need a source to back that up? Fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexbo 104 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I need a link to state Hillary is a pinko-communist-bleeding-heart-liberal, only out for as much power as she can get? But everyone knows that, even TT and TigerAl... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger12 46 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 I need a link to state Hillary is a pinko-communist-bleeding-heart-liberal, only out for as much power as she can get? But everyone knows that, even TT and TigerAl... I would suggest that you provide a link about her being a "pinko", because that is a very strong accusation you just made about her. Like you said, everybody knows that about her, so you are not reporting anything new there, but if you was to come out to say that Bill Clinton was a monogamous man or that George Bush had a tough stance on illegal immigration, then it would be in you best interest to post some credible links to back up such bold claims.

George Bush does have a tough stance on illegal immigration, it's just the wrong one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURaptor 1,126 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 George Bush does have a tough stance on illegal immigration, it's just the wrong one. I'll see you at the signing ceremony. - W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
