Why is it OK for posters to constantly interject Hillary Clinton in gay rights threads
but apparently not OK for me to interject her into Libyan threads.

Here is an example of ClarkUSA doing exactly this with no post removal whatsoever. Incidently, I could literally find hundreds of such examples from this poster alone.

Yet, when I asked if this poster would give Hillary credit for a policy that she is widely credited with getting Obama to adopt, my post gets removed. So what is the rule on interjecting Hillary in threads? Right now it seems to be, if it is to bash her in threads started by those of use who supported both her and gay rights, it is AOK. But if it is to ask that she be given credit for things she actually does then it is not OK.

This is the thread from which my post was removed. It was just asking, are you going to give Hillary credit for a policy she advocated for?

1. My guess is that the difference is that
the posts that were not removed by the mods were only about Hillary Clinton, whereas the posts that were removed included references to Hillary Clinton along with some kind of backhanded reference to another DU member.
