...and yet you 'care' enought to post your opinion?
Though when challenged, seem unable to supply any factual evidence to back up your unsubstantiated claim?
If anything I've posted is factually incorrect, such as I did when you claimed that the Daily Mail supported Labour in the 1997 General election, and which I offered my personal knowledge that you were wrong, further backed up by other independent evidence, you are also free to do so in this thread. Rather than making the rather pitiful comment of my 'being incredibley rude', which you seem unable to back up with quotes of said insults.
I'll always have evidence, to back up, and counteragrue, anything I've ever said on this forum.
Otherwise I'd feel what I was posting would appear a bit pathetic.

Again, any examples of 'exceptions' made for myself, I'm sure we'd find most illuminating.
Unless it's another case of sour grapes, that not everything posted on here, suits your agenda.

Obviously I'm not the only one who thinks so, according to some emails I've received and not from usual suspects either ie political affiliates

Although I'm struggling to remember when I've been accused of 'incredible rudeness', when referring to the Labour government as 'morally bankrupt', 'disgusting', and 'vile'.
Rather odd, that.

Considering you haven't said anything political for me to agree or disagree with, it's a bit of an odd alleyway you seem to be leading yourself down.
As for evidence, if you have read all your posts and still don't think that you've been rude, then it is pointless me showing you specific posts, as you won't think they're rude either. I gave my opinion that you were rude, yours obviously differs.

Because we have so little evidence of what her actual political beliefs are, other than what's on her website. A website on which she herselfs talks about being a member of a Baptist church in Lytham.
The fact that there is testimony of someone being exorcised at a Baptist church in her home town, to 'cure' them of homosexuality, might be deemed relevant information to some, when deciding on the suitability of which candidate they are going to vote for.
Neither incredible, nor rude. Just a valid, and factual observation.

Sure somebody might be influenced by her beliefs. The alleged exorcism though has nothing at all to do with her and need not be posted on a thread about her. Just a pathetic attempt to link things that have nothing to do with each other.

Alleyway?
I think someone's taken you up the wrong alleyway, because I can't make head nor tail of what you've posted in the first paragraph.
As stated, I've reread the whole thread, and am quite happy I haven't been 'incredibley rude about Ms. Buckley, and again challenge you to supply quoted evidence to prove your point.
I wish you luck.

One of the few things we know about her is her religious beliefs, which she promotes on her website.
If I'd posted about the Westboro Baptist church ( Westboro Baptist Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ), that wouldn't have been very relevant, being a church in America. A Baptist church in her home town, carrying out exorcisms, might be relevant information to those deciding who to vote for, especially when her links to the church are promoted by herself, on her website.
The fact that these 'cures' are being offered in a church in Lytham, that she's a member of, and promotes on her site, might be seen by some as positive, and a vote winner. For others, the opposite might be the case.
All in all, it's relevant.

Re: Conservative candidate named.
Karen Buckley might not be the only one struggling to secure the pink, or liberal minded, vote.
David Cameron stumbles on equality question in Gay Times interview - Telegraph
(...and this is reported in the good old, and very reliable, Tory supporting, Daily Telegraph.)

Again, empty rhetoric, and idle gossip, and not a shred of real evidence you'd care to put in the public arena, to back up your unsubstantiated claims?
Thought so.

Re: Conservative candidate named.
Personally I thinks it's terribly ill mannered to try (failingly) to label another member of Accy Web 'incredibly rude', without being able to furnish examples to prove the truth of their point.
Some people have such poor social skills, and appallingly bad manners.
I bet Karen Buckley hasn't.

Sadly still no change.
What a poor show.
I was hoping that through helping to publicise the appeal, we could get the mecury rocketing skywards, towards the £500 target.
Come on, dig deep!

Can you put the note in a plastic bag please Less?
That has a very similar literary syntax to those first death threats, from 1980.
It could be evidential, and mean justice might eventually be mine.

Though in reference to the 'threat', as I've said many time on here, I was brought up to believe that respect is won through action, and not bestowed on someone, for no apparent, or good reason.
Respect is earned.
