and here is the exact quote:

"As usual, we will continue to permit constructive criticism of the Democratic nominee and of other Democratic candidates and officeholders. We will also continue to permit sincere, non-disruptive expressions of ambivalence toward the nominee. But we will not permit politically motivated attacks designed to tear down the Democratic presidential nominee."


And he is correct. As I stated in my post CONSTRUCTIVE critcism IS important. I was ALWAYS the kid in class who had to raise his hand, because if you ignore an issue it will just come back to bite you. I agree, it is important we win this november. That is why we have to honest about WHOEVER the nominee is, we HAVE to discuss his weaknesses, only then can we fix/find a way around those weaknesses. For example, we KNOW that Obama is going to have hard time winning in Florida, Ohio, etc. If we ignore that and do nothing we will fail, but if we acknowledge that and step up our game plan in places like NC to supplement those losses... then we have increased our chances of winning again. To fix a problem you first must be honest about it, to say that we wont ever provide any form of criticism is dangerous... it leads to losing.
