re: #457 jayzee

In comparing this to Reid, yes you are right. But I still don’t see your point. How about Moore’s film about 9/11? How about the Hillary comment I referenced? How about all the other criticisms? I have no problem saying the right is being hypocritical, they are. Without equivocation. As is the left. Intellectual honesty goes a very long way.

yes, but presenting a tu quoque is on the side. I’m looking at the specifics of this situation. It is worth noting that the issues that Hillary was addressing (and much of Moore’s film) were related to the preamble to Iraq which, ostensibly, had nothing to do with any terrorist attack on us (remember, it was about WMD originally). She was claiming that Bush lied and, we have since learned, that if that is hyperbole, the Bush administration was at the least being willfully deceptive about the yellow cake and numerous other aspects of their intelligence. We basically went to war because of the gossip from one man named Chalabi who wanted to make some cash.
