In my eyes since they already committed those errors themselves they’re not “playing tit for tat” or “look at the hypocrite” all they end up doing at the end of the day is producing a pathetic Tu quoque.

Tu quoque, and Magical Balance Fairies are, in my mind used way too much around here.

Constantly used to defend liberals, but it is forbidden to defend conservatives. Only the left can refer to Iraq without the “Tu quoque”.

Sometimes it is relevant that a person has been inconsistent in their support for policies.

You call it pathetic, but I think it is a good point that the guy who when he courted the anti war left would NOT have supported the actions he currently engages in.

Guantanamo, cruise missiles in Pakistan, the surge in Afghanistan and now Libya. Those are some examples of being inconsistent on a very basic policy beliefs.
