Redstate.org = the conservative version of DailyKos.

Enough said.

Agreed, anyone who supports Kos and DU and rips on "Republicans" for limtiing debate on Redstate.org is a hypocrite.  I would remind everyone here that Ron Paul has been at every Republican Party debate.

Ron Paul is a Republican who led the Texas delegation in supporting Reagan in 1976, so I fail to see your point. Clinton isn't so popular at DailyKos, but there's no restriction on posting comments or diaries in favor of her.

But there is a restriction about supporting Cindy Sheehan in her bid for Congress.  Six in one hand, half-a-dozen in the other.

Umm, I see pro Sheehan comments and diaries all the time there.

Let's see..... Cindy Sheehan can still post on DailyKos, she posted a comment a couple of weeks ago telling people to vote for her. There have also been recent diaries supporting her run as an Independent, such as this one.

Mean while, Ron Paul is a long time Republican member of the House who was a leading supporter of Ronald Reagan in 1976.

I fail to see how these situations compare.

Joe Lieberman was a longtime Democrat... etc... etc, but pro-Lieberman statements were likely to get you kicked off DU even before the Democrats as a party went totally postal on him.

Irregardless, you are missing the larger point which is that this action if a far cry from constituting a "Republican" action and that ignoring the errors in one group while jumping on those of another only makes it even more obvious what I hack someone is... not that there remains any doubt in anyones mind that you are, indeed, a hack.

Wrong. Support of Lieberman on DU was not banned until AFTER he lost the primary. Prior to that there actually were a few Lieberman supporters, most were banned afterwards, but not for supporting Lieberman, but because they were supporting a third party candidate over the Democratic nominee.

Yup... that's freedom of choice for you.

And... BTW... the fact that they waited to ban them until after he lost makes them so much better than these people.  Again, I think you are a bit too caught up in the specifics to see the point I am acctually making.  I guess it is part-in-parcel and I should expect it.

But anyone supporting Lieberman after the primary was banned because they were supporting a third party candidate over the Democratic nominee. You're not allowed to support non-Democratic candidates on DU.

I see.  There are alot of people on DU who have portraits of communist symbols and figures in thier profiles and have openly talked about supporting extreme left-wing candidates.  I mean, the very act of showing communist support means that you support a party other than the Democrats since there are several communist parties in America.  Why don't they get kicked off?
