Your reply would make more sense to me if I had mentioned the HN guideline against using the site for political battle, but I didn't. The guidelines I listed your comment as breaking don't have anything to do with that.
But here's a response anyhow—if you look at the past explanations here:
you'll find exhaustive explanations of how we approach politics on HN. If you read some of that and still have a question that isn't answered there, I'd be happy to take a crack at it.
I should add, though, that it's too much to expect moderation to be consistent. The principles by which we moderate HN are consistent, but it's not possible to apply them consistently to all the content. There's far too much content for us to read it all, and randomness is a major factor in sevreral different ways.
