Is the term "Firebagger" not permitted?
I had the following post deleted:

I don't remember the exact words I used, but I think I said that OFA had the support of the left, and that firebaggers don't represent the left. The only thing I could see objectionable is the term "firebagger," which was the word I was using to describe a set of people (mostly on FireDogLake) who want to actively work to defeat Obama in 2012 and are proud of it. I thought it was OK to use the term due to it's increase in usage recently, but I will refrain from using the word if it is not allowed.

Thanks.

1. We do not permit rude names.
"Firebagger," "Obamabot," you name it.
