"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Also an undercover investigation by it's very nature requires some deception so I don't have a problem with that, especially if it uncovers something that is illegal.Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

This includes using algorithms to decrease the visibility of conservatives on Facebook (i.e. make sure they don't show up as often in news feeds). Things like Jack Dorsey of Twitter saying he thinks it was wrong the Brexiteers were able to get their message out on Twitter. It includes demonetising/removing youtube videos that are critical of the left (or even videos from folk on the left who interviewed people on the right who Google don't like).
And yes, it includes things like Give-A-Little shutting down Israel Falou's fundraiser for his upcoming legal fight with Rugby Australia, he got fired for posting a paraphrase of Paul saying that "drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists, idolaters" (i.e. everyone) would go to hell without Jesus. (the Left focused on the second item in his list and labelled it hate speech)Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

I am pretty sure interfering with an election is a no-no.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostI can't fault KG here. The MSM spent a lot of time uncritically parotting PP's unsupported claims and virtually ignored how it was later shown that PP were the ones being dishonest and deceptive. So most people only heard about the baseless accusation presented as stone cold fact and are unaware that it was a deliberate falsehood. Which, I hate to say, is exactly what the MSM wants.
