I did not mean to imply that I was justifying lies by pointing to other
lies. The point I was trying to make was that why are people complaining
about Bush supporters and not complaining about the Kerry supporters. That
is a dual standard.
I was watching Scarborough Country with Pat Buchanan tonight and I did
notice an interesting thing. Democratic supporters constantly hog the
podium, make statements against Bush and the Republicans in general and
never allow the Republican or Bush supporter to respond. I guess this means
the Demos feel they do not have a viable candidate.

I'm not entirely sure you can justify lies by pointing to other lies.
Any attempt to do that loses credibility, effectively saying you think
it is okay to make up damaging political fictions because someone else
did it.
