Hmmmm. Principle of charity is absolutely right & proper if one's aim is to get at the truth of things. But not convinced it should govern all our political interventions (online or otherwise). One concedes the terrain of rhetoric to one's opponents at peril, I reckon.

I'm sorry but that's terrible argument. If politics becomes "who is the best liar" ( which increasingly looks like it is) then liberals (in a general sense) will be the biggest losers
But if politics is de facto about being the best liar - how are liberals going to win if they don't lie? (I don't agree with your formulation of my position - principle of charity not sufficiently employed! 
- but even accepting your formulation...).
