Pubby shows up and we all run. Kinda like my last family reunion when the cops showed up.

I think it's irrelevant in the context of a local message board. We've discussed a local school board member and a local house seat. With local folks you have his children going to school with your children, folks meeting up at civic events, etc. I think it's completely irresponsible to attack that person's character. That's the discussion at hand. Since we'll never get back to actually discussing the folks who are running for the 19th district in this thread anyway.
I think the law would disagree with you. Don't you think so? Political talk is protected whether it is a national or local politician. Last I heard the law applied everywhere, right?
Don't you think the Obama kids can read what is said about their dad? Don't you think they can turn on Fox News and see what people are saying about him?

If you abide by the rules of this site then yes, I say you should start your own thread. The moderators of this site constantly make posts in threads all the time advising posters to "keep on topic". I didn't make the rules Jughaid - you will have to talk to Pubby about that.
What does the "right around the corner" analogy have to do with anything?
I'm just asking what it means to you. If you said that there was something going to happen economically that was "right around the corner" what kind of time frame would you be thinking? 3 months? 6 months? A year? Just asking.
I do wish you would consider drinks one night. Mr Jughaid has a Guys' Night Out every few months and I've not had one since we moved here. Just consider it.
I think we can all agree that there is a "world of difference" between a member of the Paulding County, Georgia School District and the President of the United States.
I think we can all agree that the same free speech protections about the politician in the white house is the same speech protections about the local politicians too. Right?
Not a snowball's chance in he!!. I would welcome your company any day though Madea!
Somehow I get the feeling you hold hard feelings toward me. I sure hope that is not the case. It is just good fun and political discussion.

I extend an olive branch and you slap it down. I see. Sorry for trying to be nice.
Actually, this is what started the entire (now off topic) discussion. An attack on a politician's reputation and character. Yes, I am holding both Whitey and I to the same standard. He made an unwarranted attack on Mr. Curl. I stated I've not done that.
So now we can all expect you to do the same and stand up for those same attacks on other politicians, like Obama, for instance.
-
I don't think Obama is even remotely a good President and I don't think he comes close to serving the best interests of the majority of the people of the United States - so there, that is my opinion about Obama. But then again, this thread is not about Obama - start your own thread.
The issue at hand is the House District seat that is currently up for grabs and the unanswered questions within the thread which relate to the thread.
That's your "opinion" about Obama.
So when a thread that doesn't start out about Obama turns into an anti-Obama thread, that's when I need to say "start your own thread." Ooooo. Thanks for that one.
Can I ask you what "right around the corner" means? I mean, if you said that something was coming 'right around the corner' what sort of time frame are you talking about? Let's say a new bill coming out of Congress. Or a new economic plan "right around the corner" was coming. What kind of time frame would you, hypothetically speaking, think that to be?

Please, feel free to check all of my 20,000 +/- posts. I have not denigrated the reputation of any local, public official. (I don't think any national ones either, but I wouldn't bet the farm on that one
)Awwww. I didn't say you denigrated teh reputation of a politician. I said you didn't apply the same standard to YOUR political views that you applied to others' views. I bet you get the connection.
I'd consider only calling him a crook "restraint".
And, you qualified by saying the statement must be "untrue".Mr. Curl, on the other hand, is a very nice, respectable, upstanding citizen.
Would you want to have drinks with Beach Bum and me one night? Bring along some more and we'll have a Big Time.
-
Pubby can quote you the case that this is based on as he has quoted it to me on numerous occasions - I see you down there Pubby - tell Jughaid about the case law regarding lawsuits and public officials.
I'm not interested in the lawsuit stuff like you are. I'm just asking that you apply the same standard all the way around. You will be fair won't you? You will apply the same standard won't you?
Nope, I don't as long as you do it legally.
Great! Then maybe we can go out for some drinks one night and have a girl's night out!

Now I see. YOUR political views are protected. People you disagree with don't have the same protection. Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that one up.
-
By the way Jughaid, the moral high horse that you speak of has nothing to do with you. Each individual sets their own standards for themselves as to what might be right and what might be wrong for themselves personally and as long as it is legal, it has nothing to do with what you and is not up for you to decide just as it is not up to me to decide.
That's a good statement. I like that. Good job.
I just asked if you thought drinking was somehow wrong. Do you think drinking is wrong? Just your own opinion.
-
Stay with me Jughaid. In the above quoted post, your link "calling Obama a crook" goes to a post by "rays" to The Postman. It's irrelevant to this thread and the discussion. Nothing to do with anyone in this discussion.
What I (or anyone else) thinks of Obama is irrelevant to this discussion. The special election for the 19th district is important to the citizens of the 19th district.
Ah, stay with me Madea. When Beach Bum says that making untrue statements in a public forum could harm someone's reputation, I just asked if the same idea applied to another politician in another thread. I bet you get the connection.
I didn't notice any calling for restraint in that thread when that other politician's reputation was being questioned.
-
Once again Jughaid, if saying this makes you feel better about yourself, have at it!
I feel much better! Thank you for your concern. I'm sure you are also.
-
Once again Jughaid, if it makes you feel better about yourself to make unwarranted comments like this, then have at it. If you will review your post, I believe that you will what I am talking about.
By the way, that was not a very nice thing to say about Madea. I know her and she is an outstanding, successful, compassionate person and it is not fair for you to accuse her of what you did.
So now your moral high horse is that anyone who drinks is a bad person. Gotcha. If that makes you feel better about yourself, have at it. If you will re-read that post you will see that I said the thread was above and then quoted it.
-
Maybe you should work on your "linking" skills while you eat your brownie.
I could. I decided to just quote it so you could see it better. Cheers!
-
So now you are accusing me of drinking....the plot thickens!
You might want to re-read that. I asked Madea if she had been drinking, not you. Having a bit of problem there keeping up, are we?
Or are you Madea, too?
-
No, there are laws that prohibit public officials such as Obama from bringing actions based on statements like this. I will do the research but I think the case might be Glass v. ________.
Political speech is protected speech, right?
I need some chocolate. I made brownies this afternoon and I think I'm gonna get one now.
-
YOU quoted someone OTHER THAN Beach Bum. She quoted Whitey.
Really? Awwww. You might want to have your glasses checked. Look up a few posts and you'll see.
Beach Bum, on 31 January 2010 - 12:37 AM, said:
Nope, I am not threatening anyone with anything -just let your conscience be your guide.
Did you answer my question? Is it potentially harmful to call Obama a crook?
Have you been drinking tonight?
-
She didn't call him a crook. Is it potentially harmful? Maybe. Does it really matter to him what someone in Paulding County thinks? Doubtful. Is it true? Maybe.
Same with Whitey's questions. Set. Match. Now go have a drink.
-
Why do you keep linking to totally irrelevant threads?
Irrelevant? Are you reading the same thread?
-

-
Whitey, or anyone else for that matter, does have to take responsibility when they post untrue statements in a public forum that could potentially harm someone's reputation.
Are you threatening Whitey with a lawsuit now? I think he has the right to ask political questions. Would you say calling Obama a crookis a potentially harmful statement?
-
I think that is a marvelous idea and how very noble of him it would be IF he would just do it.
Whitey doesn't have to do anything YOU want him to do. He is allowed to ask public questions on here, anonymously or as a known person. YOU might not like it but he is allowed.
I hope Whitey is cute because I do plan on kissing him when I meet him.
-
Hell, Mr. Jughaid might enjoy that and that's why I'm afraid to ask any more details.
-
Yes, I think VERY differently! You are absolutely incorrect in your judgments. Thankfully, your judgments DON'T define BB, who, IMHO, is a wonderful woman!
You're entitled to your opinion. That's what makes the world go round. Great world, right?
-
Whitey, I don't know you but I hope you are a guy because you ask the tough questions and that makes me want to kiss you right on the mouth. I sure hope you are a guy because Mr. Jughaid would be really surprised if you turned out to be a girl.

Nobody says "g-night" to me? Hmph. And I stayed up to play, too.
