Yes, everyone that I listed and that you listed should hold themselves to a high standard, but you cannot say that one side never does this, attack them for this, and then pull out that they aren’t holding themselves to a high standard and yet not at the same time say that cops must not assign blame.

Another example: Yes, liberals should not point out hypocrisy in conservatives if liberals won't hold themselves to a high standard. But of conservatives posit that they are the champions of high standards, then they cannot say that liberals cannot point out there hypocrisy if they fail to do so.

If conservatives get to point out that liberals don't hold themselves to a high standard, then liberals get to coubnterpunch.

And if liberals point out when conservatives have been caught, then conservatives also get to counter punch.

People here need to hold to the transcendent standard that I am positing here, that goes above the fray, and doesn't get involved in “partisanship.”

Yes, holding himself to a higher standard really worked well for George W. The media cut him all kinds of slack for doing so/s What the left, and some covert operators, really want, is for the right to tie their own hands while the left uses brass knuckles.
