I'm considering posting an outright lie about your candidate...

[dajabr]

And I will not be providing a single shred of proof to back it up.

Does this make me the lowest form of gutter troll?

Or does it just prove that credibility and me don't live in the same zip code?

Your feedback is appreciated...

1. If he admits his mistake that would be one thing

maybe he misheard it? but if he continues to foster this without a shred of proof and with many people who also watched the forum contradicting him then that is another story.

[dajabr]

3. Is hearsay a good foundation for candidate bashing?

Just a rhetorical question CMT. I appreciate your viewpoint. Thanks! :-)

[CMT]

6. I agree he should have made sure of his facts

before posting this. You are quite correct. The worst thing is that he proposed a truce earlier tonight and right away went about posting this.

[acerbic]

2. It WOULD make you the lowest form of gutter troll. n/t

.

[dajabr]

4. Thank you acerbic, duly noted... nt

5. Don't even bother to lower yourself to their tactics!

I wouldn't want to lose "credibility" on DU or anywhere for that matter. But especially DU..it's too important!

And that poster does not have any credibility...zip, nada, zilch.

[dajabr]

8. Thank you zidzi

You make a lot of sense. :hi:

11. "Their" tactics?

May I remind you that not every Kerry supporter is a troll, and that VoteClark is what he says he is, a Wesley Clark supporter. And his thread could've been based on an honest mistake. Using a couple of bad eggs to discredit the Kerry base may be convenient but wrong.

[Cha]

12. How do you know?

[dajabr]

13. George, I think she meant it in the "singular" sense.

Without meaning to besmirch all other supporters..

[Cha]

16. I meant it in a plural sense to include all trolls lately of which I

have seen many!

[George_Bonanza]

21. Okay, sorry

I interpreted "their tactics" differently. It's cool...

[Nazgul35]

27. ummmm....

maybe i'm outta the loop...but none of the above posts even mention Kerry or his supporters.....

:shrug:

[mandyky]

7. Definitely TROLL

but unlike bashers of this class, I like General Clark so I won't blame him for a supposed supporter of his for all this nonsense.

[CMT]

10. right

He is not doing his candidate any favors.

[JohnKleeb]

9. first one

sorry about my early misintepretion.

[Cha]

15. Just can't believe everything you read without a link and then

we should learn to check facts, no?

[JohnKleeb]

17. I agreed

Vote Clark was full of shit for what he said. Of course a link providing evidence is needed. Yeah we should learn to check facts I agree,

[dsc]

14. Sad but not surprising

He lied when he said that Dean would debate the other candidates (I couldn't even find a reference to his refusual to go on O'Reilly). He lied when he said Dean would raise poor people taxes (that took the better part of a half hour to post the refuting of) and now this. Frankly, Clark would have court martialed this fool long before now if he were working under him.

[VoteClark]

23. Watch the beginning of the O'Reilly Factor on Aug 5th

[arcos]

24. After I gave you proof that ALL candidates had accepted to 6 debates..

you never replied. :shrug:

[VoteClark]

25. Yes, I did, I will explain again

those are forums, not debates. There is a difference. A forum is like what we saw in Chicago. A debate is like what you say between Bush and Gore in the 2000 Presidential elections.

I know they call it the same, but it is incorrect. They need to be able to ask and answer questions from each other. Not just stand behind a poteum and be asked questions by a moderator that asks questions about their postions.

26. According to who?

Why do you say they are going to be "forums" and not "debates"? Where did you read it? I

I believe the are scheduling something more like the South Carolina debate (it was a debate, not a forum... candidates where able to reply to each other) last May, than the other forums they have participated in. (NAACP, AFL-CIO, etc)

[VoteClark]

28. That would be great if it does happen

[w13rd0]

18. Am I missing out?

I've been ignoring the poster I think you are talking about ever since like the third day of his "seven antiDean GD posts a day" marathon...hard not to with that convienient lil ignore button...

[dsc]

19. You really need to remove him from ignore

and go look he outdid himself now.

[dajabr]

20. Consider yourself lucky...

Your eyes have not beheld the bullshit being perpetrated here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=108&topic_id=15759&mesg_id=15759

Can you click that link?

[w13rd0]

22. yep...

...i can...wow, how frightening...glad i don't judge candidates by their supporters...

[Ripley]

29. Uneffingbelievable!

I missed that one. Checked out your link. It really is an outright lie. I watched the Cspan thing last night and he was talking about ASHCROFT!!!

He mentioned Lieberman by name twice defending his positions, but I don't recall him mentioning Kerry other than to say he voted for the war.

Why hasn't this person been tombstoned? Is it okay now to start outright lies with the intention to mislead (and they are NOT jokes)?

:nuke: :dunce: :nuke: :dunce: :nuke: :dunce:

(we need a troll smiley)
