Reply #3: You Do Know there is a difference between Smearing and Facts?

[Demeter]

You can't smear someone with the truth, but you can expose them for the fraud they are trying to foist off on people.

I have seen very little lying or even exaggeration on DU. These are not perfect people, and we are looking for the best fit with Democratic and democratic principles. And that means gathering information, analyzing it, tracking trends and campaigns, and all the activities that go on.

Advocacy is also a valid activity, as long as it stays within the realm of the real.

So try to have a little patience with the system. Come down on the liars, by all means, with facts and references. But don't jump down throats because you are impatient with the process.
