The topic says Double Standard and while I have gone off the letter of the topic that Rokenn started, I have tried to stay in the realm of double standards by the current administration. I agree these double standards would not have held up under Clinton without extreme scrunity.
Since I do post and I am a poster in that "camp" I would like to know if I have played fast and loose with the "niggling" details and truth and how. I want to know how anyone on this thread or on this forum did this. This is a serious accusation, akin to calling someone a liar. I have seen several errors that have been humbly retracted or corrected. I have seen opinions that depend on the perception of the facts. I have not seen lies. I have not seen disortion of the details either.
It seems to me you have no argument in the face of facts and opinions that you do not like or agree with. So instead of avoiding the topic or engaging in thoughtful discourse, you have retreated to a stance that the otherside is a bunch of liars playing fast and loose with the truth.
If someone has lied, call them on it by name and to the letter of the details. If someone has made a mistake, let them know so it can be corrected. We are all thoughtful people here, it seems, and I think we can handle making being told we made a mistake.
