[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Takoma]In my defense, I think I would, in fact, be just as disgusted if I saw something like this from a Democrat.  The fact that I have criticized several of Obama's policies, such as Gitmo, shows I'm not a total Dem mouthpiece.  But I admit that I may be less likely to see a Democratic version of the Lundergan Grimes ad, since I tend to look at more liberally inclined websites.  For my edification, perhaps one of our posters could give an example of a similar ad from Harry Reid, or some other prominent Dem.  Until then, I confess that I take the "both sides do it" defense as a knee-jerk attempt at even-handedness between two sides which, in my opinion, are not equally malicious (which is not to say that there are no sleazy Dems).

Look, I'm sure you're a nice guy, but you're tap dancing. Of course you view "your side" as being less malicious. But beyond that it has no meaning because someone else will say the same thing about their side.

Truth is they both do it and politics is a nasty game. But part of it is at least admitting out loud that you're prejudice towards your side and therefore are likely unable to judge fairly on political topics in general, which is refreshing on some level.[/quote]

Np. You are basically saying that because both sides have done something, that they must be equal.  That is your prejudice. Unfortunately it is a prejudice that justifies slime tactics.  It would be better if everyone greed that this is wrong and call it out when it happens.

When a liberal group slimed McConnells wife many liberals jumped on the thread here and condemned it.  Wish conservatives would do the same.  [/quote]
