Reply #43: You're moving the goal post (DU mods, what are the rules again on calling someone a liar?) [View All]

The original issue was what would happen if Democrats stood firm. It is clear that if that happened * would lose. Whether the Blue Dogs will not cave is a completely different issue. On that, though, it is quite a stretch to think "moderate" Republicans are going to come to our rescue when fellow Democrats will not do so. There is too much made of empty labels such as "Blue Dog" at DU. The first vote on Reid-Feingold had support of all Democratic factions. Where were those precious dozen "moderate" Republicans? Where are they now? We were told they would magically see the light by September as a justification for the spring caving. Well, where are they?

As to the mods, I was under the impression it is against the rules to call someone a liar. I just want a clarification. I won't respond to his claim until the rules of the game become clear. If such comments are allowed surely a DUer has the right to respond to such attacks. There cannot be a serious standard in which you are allowed to make smears but the target is prohibited from responding to them.
