Sure many of these things may very well have been harmful to national security, perhaps endangered our troops or have slandered this country, smeared/slandered the President, ET AL. I don't see any benefit to lower ourselves to their level by engaging in name calling, vicious personal attacks & the politics of personal destruction, ET AL. IMO, when you get in the gutter with the unhinged & act in a similar manner as they do, you have only lowered yourself to their level. It's obvious their crap pisses you off & you dismiss/discount everything they say. When you act just like them, don't you think they will treat you exactly the same way? And for good reason, no? That's not acceptable behavior here. I'm not saying that calling a spade a spade is unwelcome here. Nor am I saying that being blunt & harsh in your assessments is not allowed. All I am saying is that on this thread we keep our discussions & descriptions as accurate as possible (IOW you can point to credible examples of such behavior when calling a spade a spade). Call a known liar a liar. Those who consistently apply double standards &/or accuse others of inappropriate behavior they themselves regularly engage in are hypocrites. Those how buy into all manner of lunatic conspiracy & jump to outrageous, politically charged conclusions without sufficient facts are unhinged. These who smear, slander & engage in the politics of personal destruction are lowlife scumbags. Those who regularly lie, distort, deceive, misrepresent, slant & intentionally mislead are the MSM (ggg). Folks who cling to all manner of politically motivated yet thoroughly discredited crap deserve to be labeled moonbats. Etc., etc., etc.
