re: #585 Sharmuta

The problem with analogies is they’re a weak form of argument.

We have truthers speaking at tax rallies, inviting folks to come and hear them speak. People do. Now they have legitimacy. People don’t have a problem with this.

However- the President should probably not go with the emailed truther’s idea on healthcare. The reason being that even a whiff of trutherism brought down a czar.

It’s not my problem the standard isn’t being applied equally. If it’s good enough for Van Jones- it’s good enough for the tea parties.

Exactly my point. People here have been arguing that such a standard should NOT apply to Van Jones, because he’s not out making Truther speeches. So it shouldn’t apply to Tea Party speakers, either, unless and until they make Tea Party speeches as objectionable.

I won’t apply a double standard. And I refuse to accept one.

Enough of gotcha politics - from both sides.
