plan. These anti-Obama diaries useless. The diarist says "truth" in the title, then says "no one really knows".
Ban these diaries that attack Obama and the Democrats, then ask for donations.

29 people, at the time I write this, have recommended a comment that seeks to ban legitimate political speech on Daily Kos.
Banning legitimate political speech, suppressing political dissent, controlling the political content of media.....there are people here who wish to do that.
From: Establishing New Posting Standards On Daily Kos
We have NO intention of, and no interest whatsoever in, censoring, suppressing, or even limiting legitimate political speech. That is the goal of the faction using these tactics.
This faction's only intent is to suppress all legitimate criticism of the current Democratic Party and the current President of the United States. They are willing to use any tactics, even the tactics of Karl Rove, to achieve that goal.
In fact, since their goal is only to shut down criticism, not to foster debate or mount a true defense against that criticism, their goal inevitably leads them to exactly those tactics. These Rovian tactics are designed to shut down debate, and have no other purpose. And so they have been adopted by those who have that as their goal, as the only effective means of achieving that goal
.
Shutting down political speech, controlling the political content of media, crushing political dissent.....these are the tactics of every totalitarian government throughout history.
The prevention of the suppression of political speech is why the First Amendment of The Constitution was written.
And now it is recommended on Daily Kos.
