The First Rule of Daily Kos: link to a source that’s considered “right-wing” and you’ll be deleted.

Daily Kos: The First Rule.

Currently there is a diary near the top of the recent diary list that attacks Hillary Clinton for a supposed bigoted comment. The sources the diarist cites are not credible, to say the least, and are more correctly described as right wing websites.

I will not link to this diary as 1) I expect it to be deleted by diarist soon, and 2) I will not spread such filth any further.

But this does raise an opportunity to discuss the First Rule of the Primary Wars. It is expected that there will be diaries criticial of any and all candidates during this time. No one can complain about that. Indeed, your candidate will not be our nominee unless he or she can survive our scruntiny. But, when writing such diaries critical of a candidate, you may not now or ever use source material that emanates from the right wing or Republicans to support your criticisms or attacks.

If your source is NewsMax, delete the diary.

If your source is Insight, delete the diary.

If your source is Drudge, delete the diary.

If your source is Free Republic, consider suicide.

Daily Kos will not be used as a Right Wing echo chamber, for they already have enough echo chambers of their own.
