I had a post deleted yesterday, was told the info was debunked. So I asked two who complained

[peacebird]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by etherealtruth (a host of the General Discussion forum).

(Via email) to please point me to where it was proven false. I do not like or support Hillary, but I would never knowingly post BS that is untrue. Neither poster has gotten back to me with info to show that what i posted was even disputed, much less debunked.
Can someone give me links that debunk the assertion that Hillary was associated with the secretive religious/political group The Family during her time in the Senate? I had posted links to a MotherJones article and a couple others. Isn't MotherJones a reputable source?

[HooptieWagon]

1. AFAIK the Mother Jones article was accurate.

You probably had a jury full of Hillary supporters who find her association with The Family to be inconvenient.

2. If you ask questions there you are perceived to be an "enemy." I sort of liked HRC before but

after reading and being chastised by her supporters, I'm no longer interested in even finding answers to my questions.

5. I posted it in general discussion. First OP I have ever had pulled there.... Second in my time at DU

The other was when I replied to a post without reqlizing it was in the hillary group. That one got me banned from posting there, which is good so I don't accidentally reply to another porst there!

[monmouth4]

10. I have been banned from posting there as of yesterday. I really don't care...n/t

[Duckhunter935]

24. I have been blocked and

I do not even remember posting in that group.

[orpupilofnature57]

6. I can attest to that, blocked .

28. Is "asking questions" what you call it?

It seems more like "insinuating attacks disguised as questions" to me, but what do I know?

[marym625]

3. Good question

I hope you get an answer. People should not be able to just say something is true or not without proof. Especially when hiding a post

[arcane1]

4. Was it posted in a protected group?

It would likely be hidden in a protected group regardless if true or not, if it's critical.

[peacebird]

7. It was in General Discussion

[arcane1]

13. Well that's messed up. As a juror, I wouldn't take an alerter's word for it that a post was false.

I would either have to already know it's false, or the alerter would have to prove it, before I would vote to hide.

[orpupilofnature57]

15. People in Groups shouldn't use GD like that .

[orpupilofnature57]

9. I only asked and was blocked .

[cali]

8. the actual name of the organization is The Fellowship

She was involved with the group for fifteen years. I don't understand why a post saying that would be deleted. The MJ article is from Sharlet's book

[peacebird]

11. Yes, The Fellowship is also referred to as The Family.

I do not know why it was deleted. I was called out for posting trash and debunked info.

[m-lekktor]

14. they were wrong. you had a bunch of Hillary partisans on the jury

either that or people unaware of the book who believed the alerter comment.

[m-lekktor]

12. what a crock of shit that hidden post was then. I read that book and it was in there.

I never heard about any "DEBUNKING".

[orpupilofnature57]

18. Usurpers, portraying their canidate ?

[m-lekktor]

19. I am not sure i understand what you mean!

[peacebird]

27. This is the link to my deleted OP

[GGJohn]

16. Link?

17. Perhaps jurors are taking Skinner's advice?

Skinner (60,331 posts)
1. I can't say I'm enthusiastic about creating it yet.

How about this: People on juries should vote to hide the divisive flamebaity crap. Get hard-assed. Stop cutting the jerks any slack.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1259&pid=7980

[m-lekktor]

20. "flamebaity crap" is subjective.

why not just make a rule nobody can criticize any candidate if he is going to post that. any criticism of a candidate is "flamebaity" to the supporters of the candidate.

I guess we have to admit the truth that DU is an arm of the Hillary campaign and people who support other candidates are being "humored" during the primaries. and that is cool, it's a private discussion board and nobody is forced to participate!

[Fumesucker]

21. Clearly not all jurors stopped cutting slack for jerks..

[mrmpa]

23. I was just going to post this..........

maybe jurors are listening.

[stevenleser]

25. Yep. nt

[KittyWampus]

22. She went to their meetings and said nice things about their leader… probably as pandering.

I posted about that here on DU years ago.

[onecaliberal]

26. HRC damn sure did have ties to the Family.

If I'm not mistaken and don't think I am it was discussed in the media in 08. None the less, your assertion is a fact. There are/were ties.

30. I am sorry LOCKING
