(85,918 posts)It's just an amazingly curious and hypocritical tactic to rely on innuendo, rumor, and half-truths to position folks to rally against the administration and our Democratic party. You don't get a pass on unsubstantiated bull just because you portray your cause as progressive. I'd think there would be a more credible reliance on actual facts in a stance which is so critical of the administration's veracity. There's a double standard for the truth that under girds your entire political philosophy:
you:
"It's needed whether they inflict this particular blow this time, or not. At a certain point, we need to be honest about what the corporatists, even in our own party, are doing to us every single day."
Whether they do or not? Whether these reports are true or not? This is the standard of political action? We should operate from our worse imaginations; react to rumor and spin rather than react to actual facts?
How can you be 'honest' after making up your own set of facts about the intent and practice of the administration and presenting that as some absolute truth?
