I think we need a new law to cover this, analogous to Godwin's Law. We can call it Godwin's Corollary, and here it is: If an internet discussion of conservative shortcomings continues sufficiently long, there inevitably will pop up the "Well, Clinton did it too!" rationalization. In this thread it took 8 posts, with a nice followup in post 28.
Just one of the warm comforts of the familiar in the post-Clinton U.S.A.  |
The reason I pointed that out is because often liberals like to trot out Clinton as some sort of messiah-like figure, who was crucified by the evil *cue villianous music*
NEO-CONS!!!. It seems to liberals the only former politician that you can draw comparisons from is Hitler, and that's only valid when discussing Bush. So I hope that if the Dems ever get someone back into the presidency they won't try to draw comparisons between Bush and that person, when that person inevitably does something questionable. But they seem to not want to discuss there own parties many shortcomings. They trot out obviously biased op-ed pieces as if they are scientific certainties, and when called on it want people to "debate the facts and not the source" There's no facts involved whatsoever, it's all bitterness and sour grapes over not winning the presidency. What "facts" are trotted out are totally tangential to any supposed conclusion drawn by the liberal hatemongers.
And as for "these threads", "these threads" are little more than thinly veiled attacks based on personal opinion. Liberals are just as blinded by ideology and irrationality as the bible-thumpinest, tax-cuttinest, flag-wavinest conservative. Nothing new or important ever is found in threads like this, it's merely another excuse for liberals to trot out the reasons they think "rEpUbLiKKKaNs aRe TeH sUxX0RZ!!1!!!!". That's why there's so much disdain from opposing viewpoints-there's no notable content to discuss here. Anyone thinking rationally and with even the smallest hint of objectivity would see that these attacks deserve no more respect or logical rebuttal than a homeless guy on a corner who ran out of schizophenia medicine.
