Allowed: Criticism- even fairly harsh criticism. Not allowed: smearing and mindless bashing of conservatives. And no getting around it by saying a conservative is not really conservative.
For each of the four guys Jim named, I will give an example of criticism and of a slime. These are only meant for example purposes.
Browne criticism, allowed: Harry needs to get a grip. There is no way our country would survive his ideas on open borders. Browne crappola, not allowed: Browne is a commie pinko fag.
Buchanan criticism, allowed: How can a man who writes so eloquently keep phrasing things in ways that leaves himself open to charges of anti-semitism? Buchanan smear: Pat is a nazi anti-semite.
Bush criticism, allowed: Ted Kennedy is a great Senator? TED KENNEDY? George, have you lost your mind? Bush slander, not allowed: Dumbya is just another New World Order Stooge doing Poppy's bidding for BIG OIL.
Keyes criticism, allowed: Alan can be condescending at times and it has pissed me off. Keyes smearing, not allowed: Alan, that was one ugly sweater. No wait, that probably would fall under allowed criticism.
Anyway, is that about the right idea, Jim? Being critical of any of these (or other) politicians or political figures on the right side of the aisle for their views on immigration, or for their views on just about anything is fine.
LOL.
JimRob's reminder is right on target. At times, it's hard to find a serious thread here. He's always allowed a little horseplay, but this forum has a purpose, and lately it's not been quite as obvious.
BTTT
It's just poor logic.
