Ahh, the old "Republicans do bad things too" moral equivalency defense, railing on the Plame controversy to mask or somehow excuse the massive scandals under Obama, beginning with "Fast and Furious", and now including the IRS singling out "Tea Party", "Patriot" and other conservative, Baptist, and pro-Israel groups, along with rising evidence of Obama negligence and cover-up in the Benghazi attack, and the authoritarian intimidation by the Dept of Justice in seizing Associated Press records.

Wow, all that Obama abuse is just exactly equalled by mentioning Valerie Plame, isn't it?


The whole thing with outing Plame as a CIA agent is completely bogus. Columnist Robert Novak (R.I.P. now) called an anonymous source to verify a source and answered a yes or no question about Joe Wilson and who sent him on the mission to Niger, and that single yese or no question inadvertantly led to revealing Wilson's wife (who selected him to go to Niger) was an agent for the CIA. That is vastly different from maliciously and deliberately outing Plame. And that unrevealed source was endlessly used by Democrats to slander Scooter libby, Karl Rove and Vice President Cheney.
Before the anonymous source, Richard Armitage, finally revealed himself to be the one who spoke to Novak, and who inadvertantly answered the yes or no question without malicious intent.

But because of the viciousness and deliberate misinformation of Democrats and the liberal media, the slander has been repeated so prevalently that it has become "truth" in the public mind.


None of which diminishes or excuses the massive corruption by the Obama administration. Quite the opposite, the malice of Obama and his thugs represents a consistent pattern of abuse of their power.

I could go on at length with many more examples.

But there is a consistent pattern of harassment, intimidation, and abuse of power by Obama and his thugs, in ways more consistent with the tactics of Mao or Hugo Chavez (who, coincidentally many of Obama's staff openly praise) than with ways of a western democracy.
A pattern that the latest Benghazi, DOJ/AP, and IRS harassment are not an exception to, but a consistent part of.

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
