Both Sides Do It Crapalooza

[kairos12]

Now that tRump has been sanctified by the Rethugs get ready for the media to find ways not to call him out for his outrageous views. Rather, the media will find any statement from the Democratic Candidate, no matter who it is, straying from the perceived mainstream to be equal to any of tRumps outlandish statements.

On your mark, get set, retch.

1. A conservative can walk around in a hood, screaming the N word at the top of his lungs

but if Joe Biden stupidly says something racist about Obama, and he has but in a much less obvious way, the world comes to an end.

2. Broderism . . . .

. . . Part of the Balance Fallacy.

“”All such arguments boil down to saying that half a loaf is the same as no bread.

—George Orwell on Broderism sixty years before Broderism.[9]

In political journalism, a similar phenomenon often referred to as "Broderism," after the late David Broder, former senior editor at the Washington Post. It is often said that there is no single scandal, no matter how overwhelmingly partisan, that he couldn't find some instance of the other party doing something maybe, kind of, almost close to being in the ballpark of the same thing, so that every thing wrong in Washington is the fault of both parties. An example of Broderism would be that, while many Republican elected officials have embraced Birtherism wholeheartedly, these one or two Democratic supporters are (insert whacked conspiracy theory here),[10][11][12] so each party is equally crazy.

On Fark, similar arguments are referred to as "BSABSVR," short for "Both Sides Are Bad, So Vote Republican."
