Are moderators Deleting Posts against Hillary?

[BayCityProgressive]

I have had multiple posts deleted about being anti-Hillary for stating that her vote resulted in the murder of Iraqis among other things. Why is that other subjects can be viciously attacked and even with explicit language but when it comes to Israel or Hillary it is deleted?

1. Email and ask

this thread is gonna disappear too, most likely

[BeyondGeography]

2. Remember when we couldn't call candidates and their supporters by their nicknames?

I got 7 timeouts in one day and wound up banned for using terms like "Deaniacs."

6. Strange - I always liked the term "Deaniac," myself, partially since I was one

Dean's the main reason I became a full-fledged Democrat.

16. Too many people got spanked so they changed the rule

The Clarkies and the Deaniacs were at each others' throats big-time, but we all wound up working together for Kerry in the end (as the vast majority of us will this time, whoever wins and however much venom we direct at each other in the next year). The passion was great to see. Hopefully, the mods won't be as sensitive this time around.

7. Doesn't that

stop honest discussion which is the whole point of having a forum?

3. Others voted for it too. Why not pick on them as well. If you're being objective

but if you're not then don't post @ DU. Objective criticism...o.k. attacking a dem just to attack a dem...not o.k.

4. Good point. Clinton is far from the only one who made that bad decision. nt

[BayCityProgressive]

5. oh I do

sorry to make it sound like I only target one. i target all who voted for it. So no it is certainly not just Hillary by any means at all. Thank you for pointing that out so I can clarify.

[xultar]

8. Welp...get started. Post OBJECTIVELY about all who voted for it.

[BayCityProgressive]

12. I have many times in many current threads

but it seems like just the Hillary ones are deleted.:shrug:

[sodenoue]

11. what is objective?

everything comes through your own lense. truth is subjective.

but don't attack just to attack, that is oreilly-esque

[Robbien]

9. Posts on the Political race are better off in GD-Politics

Over there people don't get as upset when you criticize a candidate.

10. Back in 04 I was banned for comparing BUSH & KERRY as

two peas in a pod after all they are brothers in Skull & Bones a secret society. The admin does not seem to like any hits at Dem's.

14. Probably best to just get over it and not worry about it.

[saracat]

15. Maybe because this is "Democratic Underground"and we do not attack our own?

The above statement is reason to indicate your anti-Hillary comments were vicious and non substantive attacks. Constructive criticism is permitted but not "attacks". We are about to electing Democrats, not tearing them down to support someone's personal ideology.

17. BWAHAHaHAHAHAH!!!!!!!

[BayCityProgressive]

22. how are they vicious

or nonsubstantive? She voted yes on a myriad of pro-Iraq war bills. How are we supposed to vet our candidates if we have to play nicey poo and not offend anyone?

[BayCityProgressive]

23. No where on this board

does it say for Democrats only either.

[AlCzervik]

18. talk to the mods.

[bridgit]

19. ibtl...

[demrabble]

20. Gee, I Don't Know

I haven't seen any of your posts.

But I would bet that they are full of vitrol against a Democrat.

Why in the world would you attack a Democrat for Bush's war?

Are there not enough Republicans and reich wingers for you to attack?

[Lost-in-FL]

21. IBTL!!!
