The same act from two different people; one is labeled a communist, one get a free pass for playing politics as usual. Sadly, the so called truth squads are necessary. Politicians lie with impunity. Often times their opponents fail to call out their lies for fear their own lies will become fair game. Personally I'm all for truth squads. Nothing wrong with calling a lie a lie. We need more people in the streets shouting down lies and defending truth, not less. Perhaps if we had an Iraq Truth Squad back in 2002 Colin Powell would be in jail, and a bunch of American servicemen would still have their lives and/or limbs.
