The left lined up lockstepp against Thomas and condemned him for his behavior. A few years later the left lined up lockstepp in support of Clinton and excused his behavior. Who are the real hypocrites?
You're missing my point. I'm not casting aspersions about the left's refusal to condemn Clinton, or your refusal to condemn Dubya, for dishonesty and potentially criminal behavior.
My point was a political one, and not about justice at all.

It was a pretty good point. You'd do well to answer it, rather than pretend it didn't land.
Because trust me, it did.
Explain the contradiction between claiming non-partisanship at the same time you excoriate only one party.
Or, alternatively, lose the point in the mind of the reading audience.
So when I said Bush basically lied to get us into war with Iraq I was excoriating the democrats?
I'm critical of both parties.
