Obama Asserts Executive Privilege On Fast And Furious Documents

[panzerfaust]

140. Why was "Remerberance's" post hidden?

The point being made - that if the president was not involved, then there is no executive privilege to assert, whilst if the president was involved and can then therefore validly assert executive privilege then Holder (? and the president) have been lying - seems a quite valid point for discussion to me.

The reason given for hiding the post is "This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive ..." to which I would add that as it seems to be valid point of discussion, that it was suppressed because it was critical of the administration.

To me it seems that many on DU (5/6 this time) seem to think that it is best to suppress thoughts which do not agree with theirs.

One might want to keep in mind Thomas Paine's observation that "It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry."



I think suppression of discussion is a poor way to deal with thoughts or opinions which one does not share ... but then, I am a liberal.
