3. Here is some further clarification; the rules of this site do not allow promotion of right-wing shit

The hidden post in question did not merely provide context, the person who posted it declared the ad "all true" despite the fact that it was a hit piece from the NRA which opens with a baseless attack on all liberals.

The rules of this site are very clear, right-wing hit pieces are not allowed here. The post would not have been hidden if the video had been merely posted for context, but when the person declared the ad from an organization that has a board member that threatened to assassinate Obama on more than one occasion to be "all true" that was asking to have a post hidden.

Calling this rule "authoritarian" is ridiculous, you agreed to the rules which prohibit the posting of right-wing crap when you joined. If you don't like that rule there are other sites that will allow you to post all the right-wing crap you want, but there is nothing authoritarian about having our own community standards on this site.

Here is an idea Duckhunter935 Aug 2014 #4

Here is an idea, why don't you listen to the ad before declaring it "all true" Bjorn Against Aug 2014 #7

I did, guess my old age is getting me Duckhunter935 Aug 2014 #8

Your posting history makes me have a hard time believing it was a mistake Bjorn Against Aug 2014 #9

This thread is about an NRA ad you posted and declared "all true" Bjorn Against Aug 2014 #13

I also posted a correction here Duckhunter935 Aug 2014 #14

The location of the list of NRA talking points is known friendly_iconoclast Aug 2014 #20

It always amazes me Duckhunter935 Aug 2014 #21

No, an NRA ad is NRA talking points Bjorn Against Aug 2014 #22

an ad Duckhunter935 Aug 2014 #23

The ad has more in it than just quotes Bjorn Against Aug 2014 #24

Hmm-I should start using the phrase "Bloomberg talking points" friendly_iconoclast Aug 2014 #27

There is nothing in that ad worthy of being refuted Bjorn Against Aug 2014 #28

The Bloomberg quotes can't be denied, and using them against him is legit friendly_iconoclast Aug 2014 #29

So what is your point? Bjorn Against Aug 2014 #30

They're as relevant as the Ted Nugent quotes *you* were happy to provide friendly_iconoclast Aug 2014 #34

I think a "free speech zone" is a good idea, at least for groups. Also, transparency. NYC_SKP Aug 2014 #33
