This thread just got Closed at MAD's Political Forum

http://www.mormonapologetics.org/index.php?showtopic=34206

I guess it is a big no no for their tender members over there to find out anything very as BKP would say not very useful information. Just cause it is true and accurate "what good is it"

The mod called it bashing which it is not, it is reporting.

bashing is what they do there in there political forum against any liberal ideas or people.

But that's OK of course when it is done by conservative TBMs or The Mods Sockpuppets.

I guess they have to protect their TBM members from information and ideas that are once again: "Just cause they are true, they aren't very useful"

So if you visit MAD's Political Forum don't do any bashing there unless it is against Obama or his preacher or anything else the agents of and the 1st presidency disapprove of, then that's of course OK to Bash.

Just be on the "right" side. and as i said this post wasn't even bashing as the mod falsely claimed it was only reporting in the hopes of sparking a discussion. Obviously they closed it and kicked the poster out of the political forum because they would have looked so completely stupid trying to defend their neocon pals/heroes for looting billions in war funds that should be going to the aid of the soldiers and etc.

Bush Administration Trying To Stop Fraud Reporting By War Contractors Abroad
WASHINGTON — House Democrats demanded documents Thursday about a multibillion-dollar overseas contracting loophole to track down how _ and why _ the Bush administration slipped it into plans to protect taxpayer money.

"Who snuck this in at the eleventh hour and why?" Welch said in a statement. "No contractor should be given a free ride to defraud taxpayers, at home or abroad."

This is exactly what we didn't want this folder to be, the political bashing is over. This is your last post in the political folder. ~ Mods

LOL! So the bias of the moderators extends to politics, too! Nice to know. Of course, many Mormons seem to consider republicanism an article of faith, anyway.

Snicker. Gotta love this line by obiwan:

It's is liberals that are the liars..... in every aspect, just like anti-mormons. You all are no different.

We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Ya know, I'm fine with the mods giving some bias towards LDS posters, but the slant is SOOOOOOO incredibly skewed.

They are ever coming closer to their dream of making MAD a back patting session of how wonderful the church is. Pretty soon you won't be able to disagree with any apologist without it being labeled "bashing".

You know, I haven't posted there in months and I don't read there much these days either but just going on some of these new threads here about MAD, I think it would be great if critics stopped posting there altogehter and LET IT turn into a back patting session. How boring would that be, eh?

They gave us all the message in Church today that we should attend out local political caucuses this Tuesday. Perhaps reading about this stuff would upset potential caucusees. An uniformed voter is a malleable voter.

Looks like the Political folder at MAD is about to be closed. As the Dude pointed out, what sense does it make to have a political folder at MAD when Mitt Romney is no longer in the race? The bulk of the posters political needs could be met on some John Birch forum. Politics and religion do not mix, except on Tuesday's caucus.

As a fan of not only the Dude but the film from which he takes his moniker, I just had to pay respect to the Lebowski-esque brilliance of our Dude's comment on that Discussion Board, over there:

The Dude wrote:There will always be peripheral issues... eventually the mods have to draw a line in the sand.

Fantastic.

Unfortunately, I think that the apologists would LOVE it.

So what, its not a game where you don't want to "let them win" is it? I hope not.
