Reply #11: Cloak and Dagger? RE: Debate

[wyldwolf]

You asked:

Why are you afraid of debating me in public here on DU, wolf?

As I explained completely in the thread above (before it was locked based on your rules violation), debating on an open forum allows interference from other participants and allows those like you who have little knowledge beyond talking points to easily "escape" just as you are trying to do now.

Your angle seems to be "calling me out" in front of DU. However, I plainly said we'd announce the debate time and place to everyone on DU so they could all watch. So your desire for a public debate (or is it?) is covered there.

So what is the problem?

1. Hit and run posts like yours are more noticeable in a live real time chat environment

2. A live real time chat environment doesn't permit those with only a marginal understanding of the issues at hand to go back and do further research to try and prove a point. In other words, you have to know your stuff right then and there.

3. You obviously have a problem with the simple guidelines of separating facts from opinions and using reputable sources for corroboration.

All this is what you have termed "cloak and dagger" which doesn't surprise me coming from someone of your political positioning.

And, finally, you still avoid showing me examples of where you have ever "cornered" me as you described in your previous locked threads.

So tell me, Scott Lee, why are YOU afraid of a structured debate in a live, real time environment?

Should you reconsider, here are a few starting points pulled from your various posts:

Bill Clinton has sucked every brain cell from Harlem Congressman Charles Rangel’s 73 year-old skull.

Never being ELECTED to a political position means one is not qualified to hold an elected position no matter how much governing, domestic, and foreign policy experience one has...
