How Do You Handle a Problem Like Obama?

Shut up about it, that's how.

Not sure how this edict is any different from business as usual, but it's funny anyhow.

Among the new rules for good leftish commenty behavior:

Out:

"Telling someone to 'shut up,' 'screw you,' 'go away,' 'f--k off,' or the like;" "belittling someone for being new or having a low post count; "negatively 'calling out' someone who is not participating in the discussion."

Insensitivity, which includes "weight or other physical characteristics" and "use of insensitive terminology."

"Over-the-top assertions of bad faith" in Obama, or "advocating voting against Democrats, or in favor of third-party or GOP candidates; broad-brush smears against Democrats generally; broad expressions of contempt toward Democrats generally."

"A sustained or organized effort to demean, belittle, bully, or ostracize another person; digging up or posting personal information about any private individual, on DU or elsewhere; stalking someone across discussion threads or forums."

Frankly I don't know what they'll talk about without those things.
