CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
Nathan Bedford Forrest (July 13, 1821 – October 29, 1877), called Bedford Forrest in his lifetime, was a cotton farmer, slave owner, slave trader, Confederate Army general during the American Civil War, first leader of the Ku Klux Klan, and president of the Selma, Marion, & Memphis Railroad.
THIRTY YEARS AGO you fact-mining nincompoop. Since that time he ran for President as a Republican, began denying the Holocaust and became a grand wizard in the KKK.
Read it you Nazi halfwit:-
Selection bias is the bias introduced by the selection of individuals, groups or data for analysis in such a way that proper randomization is not achieved, thereby ensuring that the sample obtained is not representative of the population intended to be analyzed.[1]
That destroys the logic of your use of a study from 1988 on the media.
Irrelevant conclusion,[1] also known as ignoratio elenchi (Latin for an ignoring of a refutation) or missing the point, is the informal fallacy of presenting an argument that may or may not be logically valid and sound, but (whose conclusion) fails to address the issue in question. It falls into the broad class of relevance fallacies.[2]
You reference the 1988 study that is prior to CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News's existence.

It is also "conjecture" that he voted for Obama simply because he said so. See:-
Double Standard.
Description: Judging two situations by different standards when, in fact, you should be using the same standard. This is used in argumentation to unfairly support or reject an argument.
Yes, this is true. He is now a neo-Nazi, a white nationalist, a Donald Trump supporter and the organiser of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.
You also didn't address him being objectively a part of Occupy Wallstreet.
You didn't offer any evidence or proof that he was objectively a part of Occupy Wall Street. I don't have to address unsupported claims made by confirmed liars.

Right. That's why...

Lol. The paranoid conspiracy theories of the far right are not evidence of anything, silly boy. The same idiots spent over an entire year propagandising fake news about a liberal sex trafficking ring housed in the basement of a pizzeria which does not even have a basement. When liars accuse other liars of being liars, then chances are good nobody is telling the truth.
The saga of 'Pizzagate': The fake story that shows how conspiracy theories spread
I am also still waiting for you to present your evidence that Jason Kessler was "objectively" a part of Occupy Wall Street. Will I be waiting long? I think probably so, given your overt attempts to change the subject yet again. I'll give you one more chance to present this evidence so I can respond to it. If you continue to use logical fallacies in your replies then I will continue to ban you.
Laura Kleiner, a Democratic activist who lives in Staunton, said she dated Kessler for several months in 2013. She said Kessler was very dedicated to his liberal principles, and that he was a strict vegetarian, abstained from alcohol and drugs, embraced friends of different ethnicities and was an atheist.
“He broke up with me, and a lot of it was because I was not liberal enough,” she said. “I am a very progressive Democrat … but he didn’t like that I ate fish and that I’m a Christian.”
Kleiner said Kessler was well aware that she was of Jewish heritage, and that he showed no signs of being anti-Semitic. She also said he had a roommate for several years who was an African immigrant.
In an interview earlier this week, one of Kessler’s neighbors, Zoe Wheeler, said she knew of two different African roommates who lived with him, and never thought Kessler was a racist, even after he started to make waves in the local news late last year.

This is obviously fake news. It isn't corroborated anywhere else and Laura Kleiner is a ghost whose claims cannot be verified. The unsupported claims of random individuals do not constitute evidence of anything, and especially when those claims contradict the fact that Kessler was the head of a violent far right protest less than five years later. Even Mike Godwin, inventor of the infamous "Godwin's Law" called Kessler a Nazi, so your obscure story which does not appear in any trustworthy publication anywhere on the internet appears to fly in the face of the facts.
Nathan Bedford Forrest (July 13, 1821 – October 29, 1877) was a Demorat there NOM ! You should get you a history book so you do not look and seem as stupid as you are!
Why Did the Democratic and Republican Parties Switch Platforms?
So, sometime between the 1860s and 1936, the (Democratic) party of small government became the party of big government, and the (Republican) party of big government became rhetorically committed to curbing federal power. How did this switch happen?
You are being banned for the exact same fallacies of omission and selection as your extremist brethren, Bronto. Mining for only the facts you wish to acknowledge while ignoring all the others which prove your narrative false is the behaviour of a Nazi. I'm not exaggerating. This is literally how the Nazis obtained power in Germany.
