This language is borrowed from similar language in the "Don't peddle right-wing talking points, smears, or sources" rule. DU members are certainly allowed to post news articles, tweets, etc. that contain bigotry -- provided of course that the reason for doing so is to point out the bigotry as a bad thing.

So when reposting a news story about some politician or celebrity who has said something bigoted, it's not compulsory to include any additional text, but it might not be a bad idea to add a comment just to prevent a Jury from removing your post if they aren't clear on your reason for posting it.

(FWIW -- it doesn't happen very often, but if a Jury does remove a post which is simply a repost of a news article not from a right-wing source, and the member appeals the removal, I will typically grant that appeal.)
