I've got no problem with individual opinions on the Qur'an, agb, as long as the people positing them do, indeed, understand it and how it is used. Even if those posts disagree with your own personal view? Yep, as long as the poster gives evidence of actually understanding the Qur'an and how it is used worldwide. My personal view is mine. It doesn't have to agree with the personal views of others; nor, do theirs have to agree with mine. |

OK have a nice day. Not interested in circular arguments so I will just accept my posts will not be addressed to point. What was your point that you disagee with the two links I posted for you?? I clicked on your name and read your last 7 posts and they all just question comments or links provided to you by 3 of usl me, Marsha and Lakhota so I guess I wonder what your point of this argument is all about??.. Don't you think this is a credible source?? www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20072121-503544.html |

Again what does this statement suggest?
""will be looking to use the backgrounds of these children, and any acts these children did in their past as a reason to attack Michele Bachmann"
That is not remotely what the article is about I already stated nothing of a personal nature regarding these children is being discussed or dug up. And this statemnet "George Stephanopoulos implies the media will investigate Michele Bachmann’s foster children" not investigate her role as a foster parent but investigate the children. Just a little nuanced paly on words that will rile up the ignorant.

If you disagree with links provided to you by members (Marsha, Lakhota and myself today) here I guess I don't understand why you have to try denounce the members who posted the links for you...  ?? |

Umm yeah thats what happens on a discussion forum. You may take it personal if I do not like your comments but a differing opinion does not mean I do not like sombody. I think you do not like me and now making it personal when it never was.

My posts were NOT misleading ...you just don't like them and you don't like most other posts as well.. I clearly said the liberals are going after Michele Bachmann's claims about her foster kids....that is not misleading Ma'am and the sources I provide back up that point...sorry you don't like them but that is your problem I stand by my previous comments: and now they are questioning the congresswoman Bachmann's claim about raising 20+ foster children and other family matters...that is why I doubt that Palin will run for President and subject herself and her family to these long knives from the Liberal Media.. Just two cents worth today but stay tuned for more later.. |

You can provide a warm bed and a hot meal for a child who desperately is in need of such a thing, but I wouldn't call that "raising" a child. The Bachmann's absolutely had a hand in raising the children who were in her home long-term and they should be applauded for all they have done for these kids. That article you posted multiple times is just an argument in semantics. |

I take it as they are questioning her claims that she raised 23 kids. That she fostered kids, I have no doubt. that she raised a few of them, I have no doubt. HOwever, doing a short term fostering is not raising them. It's admirable and needed, but it's an exaggeration and should be investigated. It's like she's padding her resume.

I'll read more on it because everything I have read seems to concentrate on the use of the word "raise." But, of course, that could just be how I am interpreting the few articles I have read on the matter. |

PI maybe I am not being clear I see the media questioning her being a foster parent and making that an issue as someone said on semantics. My issue is the statements implying the childrens own personal information was going to be on display and scrutinized which is not happening, can you see the difference here?

She said she's against all earmarks, but the family farm gets federal subsidies and Her husband's clinic takes Medicaid funds. You can't rail against the feds while sucking on its teats. |

No because my understanding is that the Liberal Media is checking into each and every detail about Michele Bachmann's foster children..including the exact number of foster kids, how long they lived with her and her family., and etc and etc and would not be surprised to see her foster kids interviewed...Politics are a rough business and I worked for a congressional candidate so I think i have good idea how viscious the Liberals can be...if Liberals think they can dig up some dirt they will knock themselves out trying to do so |
