So, instead of someone yelling "The other guys did it too!" every time, here's a thread dedicated to that topic.

Post egregious and outrageous actions here.
Then it's open season to try and show how there's equivalence on the other side.

Equivalence will be judged on:
1) Level of outrage (at the time)
2) Amount of coverage received (level of broacast)
3) Official Party/Media Affiliation

All of these can be rated on a 1-5 Scale, with 1 being the lowest.

Let's start with this (http://mediamatters.org/blog/200909180037).
I give it a 1/1/5

Let's see the equivalent from the left, please.

Great topic, but I honestly don't know if it's possible.

It will certainly be difficult to prove something that doesn't exist. Doubly so with all these drunks in the room.

I'd prefer a raging hypocrisy thread. That's so much easier!

Yup. That would do it. For nearly a year I reckon.

Surely I"m not the only one interested in what CDs merit such prestigious company there?

So, I'm gathering from the responses here that we can definitively call political equivalence a useless game, and can call it out as false whenever it is used in any other topic PnR.

You know Andrew, if you want to stage a thread like this to try to make a specific point you should at least use sockpuppet accounts to ensure that the discussion stays on script.

Your logic is as flawed as I am sober. I can easily become drunk, but you cannot so easily become logical.

Your being sober is the part that I'm not buying here...
