There was no mention of who said what to whom or who called who what. My reference a prior post by another member and referring to them as "rules" apply to ANYBODY who post here in political without ANY assertion as to R or D or present or past POTUS. The suggested courtesy was for the general audience....and it sounds like you have a specific issue with a statement by a specific person, so ask them.

In any set of guidelines the very best one can hope for is 80-95% which unfortunately means we will always have the likes of the issue you raised as well as the name calling and the ever present Bushslapping.
