good lord! There are so many things wrong with that, I don’t know where to start!

Theres the Tu Quoque of course…

Then there’s the false equivalence, (Compare the crimes Halliburton and especially Blackwater have been accused of compared to what Acorn has been accused of)

Then theres the general apples and oranges issue of comparing a social work group with freaking government contractors.

No one was making the argument of two wrongs equal a right. The argument is that creating and evil empire among the oppositions camp is not exactly a republican invention…..it is standard politics. So why act all bee-stung over the treatment of ACORN?
