False Equivalency

[20score]

No matter what the issue, talking heads in the media insist that every wrong done by the right has an equal or comparable wrong done by the left. It’s infuriating, insulting, adds to an already pathetically dumbed-down national conversation and most importantly – wrong!

The latest is comparing Limbaugh’s comments about Sandra Fluke to jokes made by left leaning comedians. Besides the fact that Limbaugh’s target was a private citizen and political comedians target public figures, there is this to consider:

Comedians on the left point out hypocrisy and stupidity by using irony. People like Limbaugh and talkers on the right create stupidity and irony by using hypocrisy. There’s a difference.

2. I will cosign that

There was a thread about this very subject early this morning discussing the right vs left misogynist commentary. Public figures who have an outlet to respond are much different than private citizenry who have none

3. Yeah, I just saw that.

I could have written a long article blasting away at what should be obvious, but I thought it would be better to make it short this time.

5. Public figures are fair game. They can shoot back.....

To Obamas credit he can zing back quite well.
Privet citizens don't have that option.
