Walz is under no obligation to assuage the “impressions” of political opponents

Political opponents? Asking legitimate questions of a candidate running for office makes that person a political opponent?

Well, how would you describe them?

You are the one asserting people who ask legitimate questions of a candidate are “political opponents”.

Is that why Kamala has not held a press conference for almost a month and answered questions about her policies? There is no need to answer the questions of independent voters because they are “political oppinants”.

High schools have a coach and his assistants. At most high schools the coach is the only one paid to coach. All the rest are volunteers. The volunteers don’t even have to have a degree in teaching. Walz helped a high school coach.
College and pro teams are a world apart from a little high school football team.

[johnwk2]

Just curious. Why are you brining up a subject which is not the subject of the thread? I thought we were through with that deflection.

At my HS all coaches were also teachers and got paid extra to coach. We called them all coach followed by their last name.

Why are you trying to again hijack the thread with that nonsense? The subject of the thread is about Tim Walz’s comments about the Chinese government.

Yes I am. And you are quibbling with it. If there is a different term you think I should use, let me know what it is. But in the meantime, and in answer to your question, no…

@Supreme_War_Pig

Walz is under no obligation to assuage the “impressions” of political opponents. Especially when those impressions are in bad faith.

I’ll be honest it sounds like he was praising Chinese culture more than anything else. And I mean Chinese culture is awesome despite the CCP so it’s perfectly reasonable.

In case you missed it, Walz refers to the “government” providing “. . . 14 kg or about 30 pounds of rice per month.” where everyone is the same.

Yes, because that was the case.

[Supreme_War_Pig]

I wish he’d post this alleged “praise” that he keeps talking about.

Yes, because that is the case.

And the fact is, as documented HERE many who have read Walz’s comments have been left with the impression his comments imply support of China’s system.

So, since Walz is running to be Vice President of the United States, does he not have a duty to explain and clarify to the public why he once made such comments, and if he has changed his previous views, and if he condemns China’s system which the CCP openly and proudly asserts the tenets of “Marxism-Leninism” are “. . . correct and have tremendous vitality”?

In every oppressive country like communist China, socialist Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, etc., where the people are disarmed, they suffer the loss of inalienable rights under an iron fisted government which lives large off the people’s labor. Forewarned is forearmed.

No. He is under no obligation to answer the bad faith inferences of political opponents

[Munimula1]

When is Shady Vance going to address the couch allegations? As a person running for VP, doesn’t he owe us that much? And while we are at it, when will RFK Jr. address the whale head controversy?

RFK Jr.’s Daughter Says Dad Cut Off a Whale’s Head, Drove It 5 Hours Home

[johnwk2]

Why don’t you start a thread on that question/subject, instead of attempting to switch the subject of this thread?

And, I’m still wondering, since Walz is running to be Vice President of the United States, does he not have a duty to explain and clarify to the public why he once made the comments he did, and if he has changed his previous views, and if he condemns China’s system which the CCP openly and proudly asserts the tenets of “Marxism-Leninism” are “. . . correct and have tremendous vitality”?

I think Vance at least will bring it up during the debate. If Kamala or Walz ever had an actual interview, maybe it would be asked. I doubt it.

I notice that you keep quoting this particular line.

It’s almost as if you are trying to conflate Walz’ comments with the CCP’s statement…you know, in a bad faith sort of way

@SeaManatee

I’m trying to figure out the benefit in saying assistant coaches don’t exist.

This is where I would tell someone else not to take the bait, but it’s just so enticing.

It is odd weird.

A puff piece article about Walz’s students having pen pals in China and Walz giving context to life in China

Thank you for your opinion about the article.

As previously pointed out, many who have read the published piece in question, have been left with the impression his comments imply support of China’s system:

Walz’s China ties garner attention, provoke GOP criticism

Tim Walz has fawned over Communist China: Doesn't have to be 'adversarial relationship'

So, since Walz is running to be Vice President of the United States, does he not have a duty to explain and clarify to the public why he once made such comments, and if he has changed his previous views, and if he condemns China’s system which the CCP openly and proudly asserts the tenets of “Marxism-Leninism” are “. . . correct and have tremendous vitality”?

Those many who have also read the piece have a particular view to sell.

So, going to the party who made the comments quoted [Walz], and asking the party for clarification, seems to be the appropriate course of action.

I see you, as some other recent posters, avoid answering the questions asked:

We are talking about Walz giving the general public a clarification about his comments which are being discussed, and if he has changed his previous views, and if he condemns China’s system which the CCP openly and proudly asserts the tenets of “Marxism-Leninism” are “. . . correct and have tremendous vitality”
