There is a double standard on DU.

123. Exactly. Since when does even the mildest of criticism of policy or procedure

equate to a character assassination? Also, how blind does one have to be to see that the Democrats and our nominee are allowed to be attacked repeatedly, not hints, not policies, but actual attacks on the party, its nominee (one the most personal terms, with the right wing of lies) and its members?

We've got members of the supposed "unity" committee running around publicly proving how they're not there for any sort of unity by attacking the party and its leaders by name. As if they don't quite understand what the word "unity" means or that their jr. high mean girls antics are not being publicly posted on twitter. I don't know if that's just arrogance or idiocy. In either case, we have actual work to do, millions of Americans lives depend on it, and this deliberate divisive crap that is all too familiar to everyone is distracting us from effectively taking on the GOP.

Some people apparently do find it hard to walk and chew gum at the same time, either they are truly this distractable when they feel their heroes are even mildly criticized or this is their goal.
